That’s a shocker. You’d think fuel stoves would provide the safest form of stoving but the burnt airways incident makes you think of what can go wrong.
Paranoia, while paranoid can sometimes be a handy survival tool. My 17 year old nephew has just got his drivers license. I told him it was the the most dangerous thing he’s ever going to do. Unless he takes up mountaineering. I could tell he was ready to commit me to the oldie farm but I pointed out after nearly three and a half decades in road design/safety I could show him enough pics of bent commodores that had equally bent kids pulled out of them to change his mind. I can only hope he got the message. Statistically you would not give anyone under 25 a license. Insurance companies know this and charge according. Politicians don’t. Enough said on that.
Relevant to TSing and towing, my retired friends have recently bought a nice 20’ van and are getting in some post covid travel. He said he told his mechanic he’s still not really comfortable towing the rig yet . Mechanic said “good ,don’t get comfortable, your a lot safer than way.” Sage advice.
Also sage advice Peter on the butane cylinder valve. Thanks for that I’ll be checking carefully.
Paranoid thought for the day, the furthest you can get from a flame on an 18ft TS is 18 ft
