What sort of record taking do travellers do to record info on where fuel was purchased? Would that info stand up in &qu...

old fashioned camping toaster...
(Preview)
When I use to go camping with Mum and Dad as a child, they had a toaster that would sit on a gas ring. It looked abit like a 4 sided cheesegrater, but larger, with a curled base on each side for the bread to lie on. It was open up the centre, so the heat would transfer nicely and evenly. It was a great gadget and b...
