…and boycott Russian gas

Most camping gas canisters available in Europe, are made in South Korea, France, UK, Greece and several other countries. The canisters are generally filled with liquefied gas from USA, Middle east, Malaysia & Australia. In the case of shortages, and to help eliminate use of Russian gas, you can use any good quality brand camping stoves and heaters to help stop funding the illegal war.
