- While out hiking with my brother in law, we try out the Italian Army mess kit and see what we can see while out and about.
This is where I found the info I used:

Getting back into going back out and about after going blind, that looked like fun and could taste the experience as well as the nosh, have subbed .. thank you both. :)
All the best,

Thank you for reviewing the Italian mess kit,, I appreciate you sharing all the different mess kits you have and cooking in them! Best wishes!
Excellent mess kit.. one of my favorites 👍👍
Thank you. You did a good job on your video too! Thanks for watching mine.
Now that's how to eat in the woodlands! Excellent video guys. Well done.
What a great mess kit! And an even better looking lunch. Off to go find clam sauce...
Lol! You are food driven like me! Thanks for your compliments and for watching another one!
I have to stop watching your channel. Every time I see a vid, I have to buy something. I will be getting my Italian mess kit in a week.
Dig this type mess kit. Got 2 pans with Handel's not 1. Double the help. Cheers
Great lunch, nap, coffee. What a awesome day.
I got an Italian mess ket. It came freshly painted OD. Not sure what why.
Nice kit.
Thank you! It might have been painted the the surplus dealer thinking it might sell better. Hopefully its a heat resisting paint. Enjoy your kit!
I bought one of these from Sportsmans Guide a couple of years ago. Fun kit. Once, I fried 2 Italian sausages in one pan, warmed up a red sauce in the other and boiled water for pasta in the pot, all over a Svea 123. Bellissima.
Unfortunately, I broke the stud off one of my pans. I had a strap around the side holding the panhandles on, and it fell off the shelf, hit at the wrong angle and popped it. I may try aluminum brazing it back on, or fill the hole with a screw to match the stud length. Or buy a new one from the Guide.
Enjoyed your video.
HootOwl513 it is a great kit. Sounds like that was a great meal you made. I think the kits are still available so you could replace it. But repairing it might be fun too. Thanks for watching and for your comment!
Do you prefer stainless steel or aluminum mess kits? Or does it depend what type of cooking you're doing- like boiling or frying?
I prefer stainless just because of the durability and the ease of keeping clean. But they have come a long ways with anodized aluminum cookware. I have a couple of hiking sets made of those which have worked well. The newest thing in the last few years is titanium cookware because it is durable and light weight. But unfortunately it costs a lot more to buy and I don’t personally own any of this type.
It really depends on what you like and if you need ultra lite or not. And also the size of your budget. I hope this answers your question.
@@John-Sherwood-W4JFS Thanks, for answering.
John sounds exactly like Hank from the King of Hill cartoon.
Which milsurp mess kits are stainless?
great kit a 3 in one package.tasty looking meal.that was cool getting wild oranges.take care
Thanks for watching another one! It turned out to be a great day!
I got one of these but haven't cooked in it yet cause it came rather well used. How exactly did you clean yours? So far I've scrubbed mine with baking soda.
Of all the mess kits you’ve used which is your favorite? Scout or military, essayist to use, most functionally, worth carrying for the weight.
Real cool mess kit. Looked like a great meal too.
Thanks! It was a great day in the woods.
John, would you say the Italian mess kit is one of the more useful? Which ones are your favorite from a utilitarian standpoint?
Can't find it on eBay. Just gota wait. Cheers
Dang... y'all had it goin' on!!!! What a spread!!!! I thought you were gonna have fish for desert for a minute there!
It was a great day. Soon it will be so humid in that river swamp that you won't be able to stand the cooking fire! And no matter how many stumps I check, I never find refreshing beverages like you. I once found a old bottle of prune juice though ;)
There was a lot of blow-downs in the river from the last hurricane. That section of river is in-passable by canoe and hard to fish without getting hung up. Thanks for watching another one!
'drain the noodles". . . sounds like a euphemism to me. ;)
It's great to see a little of your environment as I've never been in that particular one. Ahhh, the Italian mess kit is the one that got away, I was bidding on one at the same time as the French WW2 marked one, got the French one, the Italian one got way over it's worth so let it go. It looks a great little kit! Got some of the adult Soviet gas mask holders for next to nothing, they're very good with Crusader type kits. Thanks for the vid!
I never realized until recently how much people enjoy seeing what most of the Florida woods is like. I thought most would think it was boring. I'm glad I'm able to include some scenery for you all. As for the Italian kit, I'm sure you will find one soon. I can't remember where I got mine. I think it was about a year ago. When I get ready for a Crusader kit one day, I might contact you with links to sets I'm interested in and let you tell me (if you want) if they are authentic before I buy. Thanks for watching another video and good luck with your growing collection!
Yes, what's boring and everyday to you is new and rare to others as regards your woods. I've only bought a Dutch army NCB (nuclear chemical biological) type canteen and pouch recently, it's waterproof which will be handy on British moorland like Dartmoor, it can be very wet there even in summer. I'll get the Italian kit eventually! No problem with the Crusader stuff, it's usually the canteen that's fake, outside of the 1985 Osprey canteen (it has a small sun on the front) all the real ones should say Osprey on them with a date of manufacture.
Nice i like it. The one i saw the bail handle locked under the lug not on top. But a great compact mess kit
Another neat mess kit indeed!
Yes it is. It fits well in my collection. I like the double pans it has.
Green swamp, in Dade City, live there.
Awesome! I love that area. Was just on the other side of 471 two days ago at Trial Ford Camp.
Just throw your peels on the ground?
Just out of curiousity sir how much did your mess kit and the P51 can opener cost you??
GarouLady I don’t remember. I’ve had that mess kit for a while now. I can’t even remember where I got it. If I had to guess, I would say I paid between $15 to $20. The P51 can be had for about a $1 or a little more. Thanks for watching and for your question!
hey John...would you recommend the Czech mess kit or this Italian kit?
Miles D personally I like the Czech kit better but they are both great kits. It also really depends on what kind of cooking you are doing. I might also like it better because I have so many different German style mess kits. The Czech kit is pretty compact and is great because of the two pots and plate/lid you get with it. It’s great for cooking sauces, rice dishes, stews, soups and other foods for one or two people. You can even fry a little with the lid/plate. But the down side is you can’t hang any of the pieces over the fire like the Italian kit. I’m not sure if the large pot of the Italian kit has more volume than the large pot of the Czech kit. I can’t check it at this time as I have the Italian kit stored in vacuum food bag along with other kits and canteens in my garage. But I think the Italian kit might be better to boil water for drinking because of its shape. I hope this answers your question.
@@John-Sherwood-W4JFS Thanks for the info John! I really appreciate it! You are a mess kit Jedi!!
Do have a yugoslavian mess kit?
Yes I do. I plan to feature it one day.
u2 hav it going on! thumbed up & enjoyed!
Thank you very much!
Great outing.
I like how you used the Russian pouch for the mess kit.
Thanks! It really saves the inside of my pack from getting filthy. Thanks for watching another video!
@@John-Sherwood-W4JFS Where do you get the gas mask pouches?
Liam Nomde Vin I don’t remember exactly where I got it. It might have been eBay. The bag is for the PDF Russian gas mask for children. Just search “Russian Child’s Gas Mask Bag” and it should come up.
Tell john to get a yo-yito fishing wheel. Great for survival and u dont have to drag that huge fishing rod around and thru the woods. Getting hung up on everything. Yo-yito fits in ur pocket. U should do a review on this. Great piece of kit to have in your bag
Scout Sniper The rod he had in the video was telescopic. It fit right in his backpack. I have one too but I forgot to pack it. I also have four of those yo-yo reels. Only used them once on a kayak camping trip on the Ocklawaha River. Had no luck with them but it was a bad fishing weekend because the river was muddied up from the downpours we had the day before. I will give them a try again one day. Maybe on my next camping and fishing trip.
John Sherwood i would love to see a video on u using that. I dont kno if u were using the right ones. Yo yo hangs on a tree and is cheap. Yoyito is a anodized fishing reel hand held. Not the same. Look it up
Yo yo ‘s are junk. Yoyito is the shit
В тебе не повний комплект, там ще кружка йде в коплекті
Just put white clam sauce on the grocery list! Love Florida's wild edibles!!!
I hope you enjoy it. I never made it before this video. it turned out pretty good!
I love finding a good orange tree when out and about. Thanks for watching!
Nice vid John. Only thing you were missing were a qtr pound or so of actual live clams to toss into the broth at the end.
I guess I'm kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to stream newly released movies online ?
@Layne Sawyer flixportal :)
@Tyson Jayden Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I appreciate it !!
@Layne Sawyer happy to help =)
Would have liked to see how u drained the pasts
I didn't include that footage because I didn't think it was interesting so here's how I did it. I used the spare cup and put it on top of the pot with the bottom of the cup facing the pot and with gloves on I tipped the pot and cup and drained the water out while holding the noodles in with the cup. Nothing fancy. Just had to do it fast before my gloves got too hot!
John Sherwood cool
cool mess kit :)
Thanks!
Awsome sauce!🙂.where can I get one of those kits? Enjoyed the jaunt.thanks for sharing👍
The sauce wasn't bad coming from a can. I can't remember where I got that kit. I've had it a while. Might have been ebay. Thanks for watching another one my friend!
Sportsman's guide has them for 19.99 as of 3-12-21. I got mine in & it appears to be new old stock with just storage wear although listed as used. Mine was Never issued.

@@WilliamsKnifeLife magic! Thanks fella.
American top chef ?! Yes of course....
gilles lanstroffer Lol! Nah, just a guy trying to cook in the woods! Thanks for watching!
I would love to have this kit in titanium be a bit of a price but worth it...
Brian Drexler a titanium or stainless version of the East German kit would be awesome as well.
It sure would. Its ashame someone cant recreate these kits. East German, Swedish Army, and my favorite is the preston mess kit. Be great to see these brought back with today's hard anodized and SS versions... The kidney shaped kits just work well in the packs or on the side pockets...
Love your hatt:)
Thanks! Its made by Real Deal Brazil. They say they make them from old canvas tarps that used to cover trucks that travel through the Amazon. Its my favorite hat. Thanks for watching and for your comment!
Nice kit. I sent you a friend request on Facebook... I’ll give you a hint that my name is like a popular ruger cowboy action pistol... but more Italian...
I saw that request. I wont be adding you to my personal Facebook because I like to keep it to my family stuff. As you saw I joined the canteen group too. Feel free to message me there or on FB instant message.Thanks for letting me know about it. Looks like a good one.
John Sherwood understood.
