This winter is really mild and hiking is simple but still chilly in the nearby forest. It is never bad to take a coffee break in the outdoors to get warm. Cooking water on a Svea petrol stove (the brass cylinder in the back) for coffee and somewhat too spicy instant noodles feels so much better than eating them at home. The stainless steel cup that fits a canteen was shiny and brand new and could in spite of its kidney-shape balance on top of the Svea 123R. The stove works really well in cold conditions with few moving parts. A bit fiddly to start sometimes. I never get a smooth solution for getting the key to the right place when putting the windscreen back on in the midst of preheating. Maybee I have to improve my fine motor skills… Note that the bread is not on top of a chopping board. It is a seat made of wool, making it a bit more pleasurable to sit on a boulder when it is freezing. After this break in the peri-urban forest it feels better to return to the urban world again.
