I have just come back from the Peak District where I was helping with a D of E award gold training expedition. We left the trainees camping overnight and arrived back at at 0900 to check them before sending them off up Kinder Scout. Conditions; driving rain and snowfall overnight. A scene of horror; despondent students unable to light trangias because they had let the strikers of their storm matches get wet...so no hot food or drinks and morale (and physical condition!) going down the tubes fast. The expedition leader\'s little plastic lighter was useless, but of course the Turbo II immediately got things going and the group were soon tucking into a late breakfast. Later we stopped at the Outside shop and she picked up a G7R.

24 hours ago I came back from an excercise in Yardley Chase during which my Turbo 2 lit hexamine with 100% reliability in wind and rain. It was of course continuosly borrowed amd praised, especially by a 2nd Lieutenant who had let her own one run out of gas. It survived being dropped in mud and total immersion when I fell in a ditch. When I returned home i threw my filthybcombats straight in the wash. I have just found the turbo 2 in the pocket of the jacket and it lit first time having survived a full cycle of washing and spinning. That is robust!
