Thanks. Glad you liked it.

Thanks. I'm quite busy at the moment so the next one will not be for a week or two unless I get a few moments to myself. Sorry about that. Thanks for taking the time to comment

@@EpicureanHikers good luck with the video!

Tomshco titanium 300ml Probably lots of different badges on the same design.

I'd recommend making from cardboard first. Assembly can be difficult so see how I put one together. I assemble one of the "legs" onto the plate first then the second leg. First time you try you will see what I mean.

@@EpicureanHikers Thank you so much.

Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to comment

I do that as well. Usually after a heatwave when everything is bone dry which increases the risk of starting a fire. Thanks for the comment

I'm told that I have deep pockets and short arms. Hope that helps.

Thaks for watching

Thanks

The pot stand works quite well. Over the years I have tried all sorts of pot stands and have settled on this.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

Butterbeans would work I'm sure. Good suggestion. I'll give it a go later in the year when the weather gets a bit cooler. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching

Thanks

It was a travel deodorant or shaving gell. Details here ua-cam.com/video/r5O3OTJZeoU/v-deo.htmlsi=3tXl8Vnj79EjySTG Thanks for watching.

Two very solid suggestions. Chilli works well as does onion. As is, they work well on a multi day hike but can be thought of as a blank canvas that you can add onion, cheese, paprika, chilli, garlic and anything else you can think of. Not necessarily all at the same time! Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts.

The bcb makes a good basis for a stove. More details here ua-cam.com/video/_7xA6vMoksM/v-deo.htmlsi=ljTwUF0ouh7RNTWP Thanks for stopping by and commenting

Thanks. I am glad you like it. Let me know how you get on.

Thanks mate

Many thanks 😊

We are legion

Yes indeed, glad to find people who also like tinkering with homemade cooksets for not so much survival but enjoyment.

​@rubenskiii Glad you liked it. Tinkering is relaxing. 😎

It was the cap of the travel deodorant or shaving cream bottle I made the burner out of. I made graduations on it with a tippex pen that I had but a scratch shows up quite well

Thanks 😊

Glad you enjoyed it! I have been playing with a Vietnamese Phin. It makes an interesting coffee. Lots of videos on youtube about them. Thanks for talking the time to comment.

@@EpicureanHikers Interesting, i looked it up and came across a video from Mark Young. Looks promising.

Nice video

I must agree that there's nothing more satisfying than making a decent cup of coffee in the great outdoors. The more involved the better as it allows you to slow down and take in your surroundings. French press makes a pretty good cup of coffee and I should look into upping my game by getting one. Thanks for taking time to comment

@EpicureanHikers, Admittedly, the French press adds quite a bit of weight over your system. Thanks again for sharing one of the best homemade “micro cook kits” I’ve ever seen.

Thank you 😊

Yes the other bottle holds fuel. About 20ml. The bottles probably came from one of those airport travel kits for take on liquids. I can't be sure as I have a box full of small bottles that I have collected over the years in the hope that they would be useful. Thanks for commenting

Sounds really useful. Is it the type that can store a gas canister?

Thanks. More coming soon

That's a good suggestion. I like the little miso soups that have turned up in supermarkets lately. Next in the series will feature one.

That's a BRILLIANT suggestion!

Thanks.

Do you mean fire starter. Your Autocorrect playing games with you, huh?

Getting into packaging that has tear strips that won't tear. I used it yo break into one of the noodles flavour pouches. Thanks for watching

​@@EpicureanHikersOh Spare me. The damn' things say Tear Here and they just DON'T!😅

Thanks 😊

I'll try and post a link to a pdf here in the next few days of a template for my pot stand. Obviously you will need to change the dimensions to suit. It's made from thin aluminium the type used for kick plates on doors. I cut the slots with a junior hacksaw or dremel type tool with a cutting disc. The aluminium can be cut with scissors, it's that soft and less than a mm thick. A sheet from Layland or similar is not that expensive. As for you suggestions I agree that they are all valid ways of achieving a compact usable setup but I took a different path. One day I will try to make a caldera cone sort of thing to fit this mug. Thanks for comments

File is access protected. Would be great to see that template. TY.

@@pedalparadise4096 I've changed the access rights. Let me know how you get on

@@EpicureanHikers got it. TY!

Thank you so much 😀

There's a lot of fun to be had making your own gear. Alcohol stoves especially due to their simplicity and ease of construction. Best of all you can make one that meets your specific needs. I haven't found the ideal stove yet but trying out new ideas is half the fun. The stove stands I make from aluminium flashing or door kick plate which are quite thin. The slot is the hardest part to form. A dremel works well as does a junior hacksaw. The trick is to have a plate that holds the two "legs" as this firms up the assembly. Thank you for watching my videos and taking the time to comment.

​@@EpicureanHikers 👍

Thanks

Thanks. I hope to get a few more videos up later in the year. I want to get away from dehydrated meals and as i tend to do a lot more day hikes these days I'm experimenting a lot.

I am glad you liked it. Thank you for watching
