- It's been a while since the last installment of my "Ultimate" series! This one is from the vault! I shot it in 2021 and it was lost on a hard drive that corrupted. It took forever to get the data, and now I have a few older videos that I'll release over time. My goodness have I lost a bit of weight since I shot this LOL

Really like the wide opening on that kettle, and that the kettle is 1L capacity. This opens up a lot of possibilities.
Another gem from the master woodsman , a w e s o m e Ernie .
About 50 years ago, I bought an MSR stove that looks like a Lunar Lander.
Three folding legs and the burner on top of the fuel reservoir. Later on, I found a Coleman (?) rectangular container for it. A smaller square bowl sliding over the top of the much deeper base.
Holds enough water to boil two MRE entrees and the water makes two large mugs for coffee all in one burn. Best set up I’ve ever seen and all by accident. Still have it, still works great.
👍 .. if it works, why change?
Nice video. I have had the Kettleist set for a number of years. Two points about the video:
1. A kettle does work much better than a pot for a pour over.
2. That rock is the least stable thing I've ever seen you set a stove on. 😁
The GSI brand has good quality entry level kits.
Nice one. GSI offers a lot of nice products and customer service seems to be good
I’ve got a bunch of kettles but this one is by far my favorite. Wide mouth, a lid that stays on, pours well, and just the right size. I like it so much I’ve got two, one to get dirty on the campfire and twig stoves, and one for gas and alcohol. But since i tend to abuse my kettles, I do prefer the stainless version.
I have this kit and love it. It competes heavily with my Trangia 27 w/kettle setup. I did add a lixada flat folding twig stove that can use a trangia style burner and that fits under the kettle in the bag. Then a trangia burner (inside a ziplock) fits inside the bowl with matches and the spoon. When I am only using dehydrated foods, this kit wins hands down as a grab and go, along with a small 4oz bottle of alcohol.
I've a smaller kettle, 300ml, that works well for day hike. I can make an overcomplicated coffee and cook some instant noodles. Made a few bideos about it.
This one would be ok for longer trips.
The gsi kettle is pretty unique with its wide top, meaning you can more easily pack it with snow in winter or cool food in it if needed.
Yes that is how kettles should be made with the wide top…Now you just need to play with all you other kits and se what goes with it…Have fun stay safe.
Great video as always. I love this kettle cook set. I have been using the stainless steel version for 14 years now. I use it for backpacking, day hiking, camping and travelling.
Like it. Especially if the 1L is practical, not max, capacity. Love anodized. More even heating than titanium lighter than stainless. Plastic rim cups don't burn lips. Wide mouth allows stews and easy cleanout.
Great video paleo hacker MD
I have bought a few pieces of gear because what I seen in your videos!
My cook kits seem to consist of (car camping)( Park camping) (day hawks )
( dack packing) although all these things seem to have one thing in common none of the cook systems seem to be the same?? But I always seem to have items I always go to !
Like my Kelly kettles 🎉
To me there's just something about building a fire when you're in the the woods
Kelly kettle gives you a contained fire pit and all you have to do is pick up twigs off the ground just put it in your Kelly kettle bass
and put a hobo stove on top and you're ready to cook.
Spoon + Fork = Spork 😜
Foon doesn't tell most people what it is instantly. But Spork does.
How many "ULTIMATE" cook kit do you have ????
Thanks for the review Doctor Ernie. I like kettles too, but only for boiling water. When younger I used to hunt a lot in the back country on at least three day trips. I could not afford freezedried food so would eat, ramin, bannock, mashed potatoes, and oat meal; would often eat out of the pot. The kettle would be hard to eat out of and harder to clean up. Great for boiling water though.
Nice kit. I've been using the MSR Alpine 2 pot kit with the nesting Alpine 1 liter teapot for years. My Trangia nests inside the teapot along with 2 Bics, a scrubby and a small bottle of bio soap. It is stainless steel so it weighs 983 grams ( 2lbs 3oz) but is very sturdy.
Great video! Keep’m coming!!!
Cook kits are handy for those with an open mind like you sir. If you want a ready made kit, it’s tuff to beat the version you have shown. I have been doing this “trekking” thing for 48 years and I will learn something else later today and tomorrow. We just spent 3 days in deer camp and I fed 4 of us from a kit about twice the size of yours, we did have steaks, jalapeño poppers, green chili stew, traditional eggs, bacon, sausage with a few camp taters… mostly all made in my Firebox setup and Mesquite twigs on the ground. We had good food, good times and good coffee… thanks to my Stanley French Press.
Thanks for another great video! Even if it's from the archives. Always enjoy the insights you provide. Just started looking at kettles because they look much easier to pour into an Aeropress than when using a pot. Wishing you and your family health and happiness in the New Year.
I like the large opening on the kettle,but I’m more of a stainless or cast iron type of camper. Not to mention my stainless tea ball is always close at hand. Stay true !
Great video, enjoyed watching. I think the Soto Thermostack Cook Set Combo has greater versatility and offers space for a stove and spoon and a drawstring net for a gas canister. Weight is about the same, GSI 320g and Soto 313.5g (my measurement).
GSI gear is fantastic...across the spectrum.
David, a few weeks ago I decided I wanted a GSI Glacier 1 person Mess Kit. I checked out the price online. I'm a pensioner on a small pension. R700 was too much for me and it being Christmas and all. About 2 days later I went into a dusty old second-hand junk shop and there in a dark corner in a dusty old box but still unopened and unused and brand spanking new was a GSI Glacier 1 person Mess Kit. R120. (A Rand is the South African currency and currently the Rand/Dollar rate of exchange is about 20:1.) When friends comment I said it was what Jesus gave me for Christmas!😅 I love this thing. I made a polystyrene 'haybox' for it and I cook my porridge in it. I LOVE my Kit!
👍 Looks like a good kit for simple low volume meals and hot beverages.
Thanks for another enjoyable video!
I'll still take my Esbit 5-piece trekking cookset over this any day. Can boil water, use the lid as a mug for coffee, then make your food in the main pot. All stows inside itself, then just toss in a pour over filter if thats your preference, or some instant packets if you want those, and a spoon and you're all set.
As always, great info. Thanks.
I have the same gsi kettle kit and I love it. Thanks for the great videos.
Sounds Like A Damn Lincoln Commercial With Matthew McConaughey HAHAHAHAHA
I'd recommend getting a collapsible bowl and mug if you are making it from scratch instead of buying a kit like the GSI.
Nice setup
Very interesting, thanks. I'm never likely to criticise GSI kit - I have a load of it including a kettle and the dish/cup item. I like the foon too - the new style more sturdy than the earlier model. If I were backpacking I think I would still prefer to use my Minimalist set including a GSI stove, either the free standing or the cylinder top. Though for my big tent on-site car camping, I do like a kettle - easier for filling flasks for a day out and about. I have found the dish/cup set sufficient for my freeze dried meals - and the dish fits happily in my Gram Counter Gear Thermo Pocket Insulated Food Pouch while it's rehydrating.
I built a kettle kit, but it is only for coffee since I am a terrible coffee junkie😂 but hey, so what. I put a micro Fibre cloth in the bottom and then my alcohol stove with a home made pot stand and ziplocks for coffee and sugar and carry a smart water bottle and my stainless cup, and since I make cowboy coffee. when I'm done , I just have to rinse and wipe the kettle down and put everything except the water bottle back inside and put it in my pack and roll on.

👍👍👍 .. nice looking kit.
My opinion .. there is no thing such as the 'perfect kit'. Under specific conditions, there will always be some 'shortcomings'.
That said .. this is good as it gives one licence to continue going seeking for that 'perfection' 😁.
Am looking to your 'Bushcraft' version of 'Ultimation' 😊.
Thanks for sharing .. take care ..
Looks pretty sturdy, not tearable at all. Some people just need to feel contrary, perhaps.
It's a great kit! I have just the (older) kettle nested inside the GSI Bugaboo Extreme mess kit for all my cooking needs.
Wow! I had the previous version of the kettlist from 12 years ago and I really loved it. This version though looks amazing with some great upgrades. Even the foon looks better designed.
Thanks
Good Video,, look forward to the Bushcraft kit. Start with a Zebra pot medium size and you can't go wrong. Good luck fishing
I have the original stainless steel version and it is bombproof. I can squeeze a titanium mug, stove and fuel can inside. When making cowboy coffee, just add cold water and the grinds will sink to the bottom. It also fits vertically in a side pocket of a ULA backpack. Placing in a camp fire-no worries of tipping over. You can also use the lid as a small frying pan 😎
i've been using this setup for a few years now. when car camping i bring the kettle. when backpacking i leave the kettle at home and bring the cup and bowl which my toaks 750 pot fits into perfectly
Honest feedback...
I find I don't like utensils that assemble. Food gets in the tiny spaces and is challenging to clean. On the trail, that stinks. I had the GoBites fork/spoon (Duo?) thing and finally retired it to go back to a long handle Ti spoon.
I do appreciate the attempt by MSI to put into market a kettle kit with a good assortment of included items. While I appreciate the design and thought in the MSI set, I still think my current kettle kit is more robust (and lighter). I have an Uberleben Kessel 2.0 (Ti). It comes with a great waxed canvas case I still use (makes for good storage of stuffs on trail when cooking. I have a 450 ml Toaks cup with DIY cozy that nests in the kettle, and I nest my Trangia in the cup with a cut down scrub pad, Lightload pack towel, and mini Bic lighter. I also nest in the kettle (next to the cup) a one ounce squeeze bottle of alcohol, a small screw top tin with my tea bags (HiCaf Tea - Cinnamon Toast Black ... awesome tea ... 116mg of caffeine). I keep my Firebox Nano (also Ti) in my side pocket of my pack with a 4 oz bottle of alcohol (I only ever use half of it).
This kit evolved from a more typical 750ml Ti pot setup, but I really like the kettle more. It's a little heavier than the 750ml pot, but I like dumping my trail meals into the kettle to rehydrate and eating out of it. The design makes it easy to use that way and to clean it. The top is completely open and the lid sticks in place when using to boil water. You don't have to hold it in place or remove it to pour.
If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend it. I think it would quickly make your ultimate list.
Also, don't know if you saw it, but Simple Theory Gear is back on the market. Not making stoves yet, but they are selling their fire starters. Super happy to see them back up and running. Their pack stove is one of my favorite debris stoves.
Try fire Mabel alti titanium, you will love it
So you design and make some of your own stuff. My kind of man...
Thanks for the great video, Ernie. What was the striker you used to light the stove? Thanks.
It really is a grate kit for the money. I use it as a cooking pot all the time. I have used the kettle kit version 1, later getting version 2 for maybe 9 years now. 2L pot is grate to. I threw in a Zelfs Fancy Feast stove in there and off you go.
Owned one for years. Loved it. However, I noticed that the two stubs on either side of the base of the kettle handle could and would puncher my deneeva storage bags. Decided to buy the 750 Toaks Pale with a sea to summit collapsable 12 oz cup. Saves 4oz. It has no pointed Easier to slide in my pack too.
Add the xboil as the cooker 🙌
Have you seen Erik Normark 's channel? He may be a kindred spirit, but coffee from his Trangia kettle in the bitter arctic cold.
I like the small size of the kettle but the cup and bowl are not for me. Looking forward to your bushcraft kit. Thanks and good job.
The link to the kettleist shows a picture of an espresso maker.
Hey Ernie! Russell from Russellville, AR (no joke), just a bit south of you. First and most importantly, are you fishing for smallmouth or trout? Either is great. With that out of the way, have you considered doing a series on hiking the Ozark Highlands trail? I hiked it in 1995, it's about 125 miles and I did it at a pretty leisurely pace over 8 days. I don't hear about many folks hiking it. I think it would be cool to doing it and shooting a travel log with some discussion about gear along the way.
Are you hitting the trail for this arctic blast? I'm stoked to head out! We rarely get temps in the teens down here. Stay safe.
It is so weird to see you use a canned fuel stove. Nice kit.
What is that fire lighter that you used (that looks like a flint wheel on a frame)? I'm probably missing it listed somewhere but I can't find it. Thank you!
A Foon? We call them sporks over here.
It's a folding fork spoon therefore foon
Think its awesome. Ignore the haters. Have u ever reviewed the kelly kettle? Pretty cool setup.
Why use a kettle instead of a pot with a lid?
I enjoy your video(s), and this is a decent kit. But plastic and aluminum is a no go. Remake it in titanium (or ss), and maybe…
Tried the javadrip and just be didn't work for me. Awkward to clip to mug, awkward to set down, and too quick over coffee grounds. Addition of a paper filter helped, but I'll stay with my silicone cone with the paper filter. This also helps keep the coffee hot. Thanks for the reviews! You're awesome!
MSR kettle?
But? Does a fuel canister fit inside?
Foon? What happened to the good'ole spork?
Can't fold therefore foon
if one cannot include a small fuel canister and a stove contained within the cooking vessel of choice, it is not ultimate.
I have this cook kit and problem I have It is awkward to drink coffee from what is essentially a bowl. The kettle is good and has a very wide opening but it’s still not wide enough for a traditional tall narrow coffee cup. Not a horrible kit just awkward.
Thx for the information. ?does a fuel can fit inside?
its called a spork
It's a folding fork spoon therefore foon
It's terrible.
I appreciate light weight, but I don't like drinking or eating from plastic. I like the SotoHelixCoffeeMaker. Titanium cup and pot. Add coffee, cream, and a spoon. Check it out. I enjoy your videos, as well looking for the latest, better, lighter. I just don't care for plastics.
