I’ve been using my Trangia Spirit Burner (alcohol stove) for a while now based on the recommendation of the folks at Hill People Gear. In the time I have used it, I have tried several pot stands and haven’t really been over the moon about any of them. The biggest problem is that they are often too large for use with a small pot. They also often too bulky or inefficient due to placing the pot too close to the jets.
A friend recommended the Evernew Cross Stand which is an “X” shaped stand made from titanium that is designed to sit on top of the Trangia (or Evernew Alcohol Burner). However, I found that it sat too low on the Trangia. Fortunately, Evernew makes a second version, the Cross Stand 2, that sits higher and places the bottom of the pot about 1″ above the jets.
My experience with the Cross Stand 2 has been excellent. It weighs less than an ounce as you might expect for something made of thin titanium with plenty of skeletonization cuts. It packs completely flat and should fit inside just about any mess kit. It’s height allows for a very efficient burn and it is really optimized for solo cook pots or nesting cups. I pair it with a simple aluminum foil wind screen to further optimize efficiency.
The Cross Stand 2 is marvel of simplicity and it has been a great solution for me. If you carry a Trangia in your hiking gear or preparedness gear, this could be a good solution for you toon. They are available on Amazon: Evernew Cross Stand 2 on Amazon

ABERDEEN,
N.C. – (April 2019) The Fostech Echo Sport is back in-stock, by popular demand at Proven Arms
& Outfitters. The Echo Sport trigger
sold out in one day with the first launch!
The new shipment has arrived and is available, which means you can order
today!
The Fostech Echo Sport Trigger is an economical pull and
release trigger for the AR-15 platform. The Echo Sport has the
functionality of the ECHO AR-II. The only difference is that you select
the ECHO mode from the paddle rather than the safety selector. You can
negate the second round but you do it off the paddle, rather than the safety
selector. The Fostech ECHO Sport for the AR-15 gives you all the functionality
with a more affordable price. Fostech
launched this video last month describing how it works.
Quick list of
features:
5-8lb trigger pull
Not drop-in (YouTube
instructions should be up soon)
Two-position paddle (called
the “Echo Selector”) above trigger to switch from semi to echo
No ambi safety
Requires a full auto bolt
carrier
Proven Arms and
Outfitters has long stocked the popular Fostech Echo Trigger. The Fostech Echo trigger gen 2 is available,
in-stock and for sale now at the sale price of $375.00, vs the MSRP of $479.00!
The Fostech Echo Trigger system is easy to install and requires a full auto
bolt carrier.
The Fostech Echo Gen
2 trigger system allows the shooter to select from 3 different settings.
Safe Mode: Firearm will not
fire.
Semi-Automatic Mode: When
the trigger is pulled, the firearm will fire.
ECHO Mode: Firearm will
fire when the trigger is pulled and will fire again after the trigger is
released.
The ECHO trigger is
designed with safety being the utmost priority. When the Shooter is in the ECHO
mode and depresses the trigger one round if fires, if the target moves, the
shooter can move the selector to the safe position and the second round
will NOT fire upon release.

GRSC has been one of the leading proponents of the horseshoe reticle over the years, specifically their ranging version of said reticle. The GRSC reticle has been placed in a number of optics over the years and recently it seemed they were mostly unavailable until the announcement of their new 1.1-10×30 Full Spectrum Optic FSO.
The FSO has a number of features as seen in the image below. The highlights include a 35mm tube, low profile covered turrets, a detachable honeycomb sunhade, and daylight bright illumination (green only initially, with red a possibility for later), and an oversized magnification adjustment knob. It sounds like a lot of rifle scope for the $575 MSRP, especially if it can deliver truly daylight bright illumination.
The optic itself, according to GRSC, is being manufactured by the same OEM that is making the Atibal X 1-10×30. These optics are in production now with an expected delivery date in the next two months. You can keep tabs on progress and learn a lot more about the optic on AR15.com.
GRSC has launched a new website. Visit it at GRSCInc.com.
