I've seen that stove posted before... nice in that it's 'multi-fuel'
btw - both links go to the stove / cup kit... you have a link for the utensils?

:clapI was poking around and didn't find that one until you showed it to me... however I found this one (http://west.loadup.com/military/surplus/732.html?id=BuBN3Yht) but thought 'certainly that's not it... he said fork and spoon, not full place setting...'
