This is what sets Dave apart from everyone else. Always coming up with new and better gear or improving an existing piece. Not just in it for the money but really cares about what he's selling to his customers. You are too good to us sir!
The amount of foresight and thought and engineering and continued passion that you put into your products is just totally awesome and so appreciated. Thank you very much sir!!
Yellow Heat! Learn something new every day, ive been using the Red didn't seem to work well for me though i had a problem with my stove. Thank you Dave
I have the original two of the original M40 mess kits and one of the stainless versions as well. I purchased and have received the Pathfinder M40 mess kit and it's perfect! I'm glad that someone got smart and Made a reproduction entirely of stainless steel. It's now my favorite stove! Now you need to sell a carry bag for this! Dave I know some people are going to bitch about the extra weight, but I'm 70 years old and I'm not an ultra light backpacker I mostly do day hikes so it's perfect for what I do! Now I have to get on the web site and order the new stove and x stand. Thank you very much for coming out with this mess kit and new stove a pot stand I will get a lot of use! ATB Sam Adler from Vietnam!
Good stuff Sir, greatly appreciate you putting in the effort to make us outdoorsmen's lives better through good quality, well thought out gear, keep up the great work!
Well thought out.... The cafetiere and pot is a great multi-use idea... The aero-press coffee system is a one trick pony, and if you run out of filters you're screwed.... Plus with the stainless steel durability of the cafetiere it'll last for many years.... Top notch ! Thanks for the great videos 👍
I have the both original aluminum and the stainless m40. I've used the stainless for years. It's a great kit. I received your stainless kit a week ago and I'm impressed. It's actually lighter than the original stainless m40 which should appeal to many because the original is very desired and hard to get, but they are heavy. Your stainless m40 is durable and lightweight, a good combination.
Just got my M-40...Gotta get the kuska as well. Dave, your store is my goto...Its perfect kit to employ after a long days hunt or a hike. Sir you are a blessing....
I'm loving the M40 kit. I've veen wanting a stainless one for awhile. But that alcohol stove kit and stand is truly revolutionary! Totally innovative! There's nothing like it in the marketplace that I know of! I can't wait to use it with my cup and bottle set. I've been having to modify alcohol stoves to fit with that bottle stove. I love that kit! I use it in my deer camp and in my duck blind all the time! Great video Dave!
Awesome video Dave, I’ve been a huge fan since your dual survival days & your videos are always interesting and informative & you also find a way to teach us a little something along the way which is also cool, these all look like solid products & you are doing a great job I’d definitely believe you’ve found your callings in life 👍
Another well thought of & great design for outdoor usage. Multi purpose with adaptability for minimalist carry. Definitely will be part of our outback addition. Cheers mate. Greetings from Australia.
These are all well designed and thought out products. How ever, for ME, I had to decide to stop buying gear and use what I have, which isn't often these days. Even so, all of this gear is well researched and tested by Dave, himself, along with his instructor staff, which makes all SRO products first class. If you're in the market for gear like this, you can rest assured it will perform at a high level for a long time. ;-)
Just received my M40 Swedish Mess Kit this week! It is top notch in every way! Wish I had seen this before I paid $260.00 for an original and very used kit from UK. This is a great piece of kit that I will use often.
Dave, you are an excellent example of a “true American entrepreneur “ that founded and built this country into the prosperous country it has become. Congrats on the introduction of some new products.
Wow, home run, knocked out of the ball park products! Not sure what to buy first! You definitely have your own Pathfinder spin on stuff. I love how you take regular products and put the Pathfinder modifications, making them PERFECT.
You're excellent at pitching products, David. The work seems to agree with you too. As a fan I will watch anything you put out. Way back from the barefoot dude days. As a new bushcrafter, I love these product videos. They help me big time. Plus I'm an older newbie so part of my hobby involves spending money.
I look forward to seeing what you and others decide to cook in that mess kit. I want one because I think it's cool but I'm not sure what I would make in it. I just got one of your 25 ounce stainless steel cups and decided to test it on my alcohol stove against my Toaks cup and I'll take the extra couple ounces and durability over the warping and slightly (~about 20 seconds faster on the alcohol stove for 20 ounces of water) I've seen with my titanium. I'll definitely be buying one of your new alcohol stoves since I love the old one but want something a bit smaller.
Hope you get a bunch of stock of these. The M40 mess kit is stellar. I've got the aluminum version and love it but have wanted an stainless one forever.
It’s great to see a new M40. The originals both stainless and aluminum are hard to find and very expensive. I love all of the new kit and your Philosophy on design. One point. I have the 32oz bottle kit and the stove alcohol burner combination is not efficient when the burner is placed under the stove. I’ve gotten very long times to boil and it gets pretty hot. I filed notches in the bottom of the stove, flip it over, place the burner inside and place tent stakes in the notches for a pot stand. Works great then.
I have followed Dave thru his career, always had more respect for him than any other wilderness survival educator. I'I'm originally WV boy, grew up stomping the hills, getting lost as often as possible, spent my life in as an Eastern deciduous back hills backpacker, hunter, fisher, survivalist, but Im also a metal fabricator/repurpose artist. Considering the world we currently live in, i see difficulties ahead for us all, and my mindset is constantly viewing future use of items, survival and "THRIVal", if you will....like how wouldnwe MAKE that alcohol for those stoves, if it wasnt on the store shelves? With a small batch still tyat would cook mash of any type, and I bvsly could make another highly barter-able substance as well. I just have so many ideas, I'd love to share. Plus, I'm right here in central Ohio.....DAVE, let's do some work man!
Just received my first SRO brand toys today, namely a haversack and a cup, plus a flint and steel kit. I have to say the quality of these products on their own tell you that Dave can stand behind the quality and not loose any sleep!
Great stuff Dave, thanks for making an M-40 cook-set, been wanting one for a long time now, the originals I gave up trying to find, the ones I did were outrageously expensive. I missed the boat on that! Time to save up some $ to get the M-40.
I'm kinda new to this stuff and just discovered "swedish mess kits" thanks to Dave and PF. Unfortunately, I already bought a bunch of other junk trying to achieve what these swedish mess kits achieve. That's ok but before I pull the trigger on yet another cook system, I have a few questions. I don't know where else to ask them so I hope I can get a response here. The questions are: 1. will the PF canteen bottle (kidney shape) nest inside the pfm40 pot (large) with the cup/lid (small pot) on? 2. this is the one i'm really interested in. how advisable or inadvisable would it be to use the pfm40 windscreen as a stick stove? (either upside down or right-side up) 3. are there any plans to release a titanium version of the pfm40? has anyone ever done that? 4. what are the capacities of the two pots? Thanks in advance!
Dave this is awesome! ESPECIALLY the m40 cook set. I can't find em anywhere and when I did come across one, the price...🤯🤯🤯!!! I can't wait to get one!!
I have the original Swedish m40 trangia and it's the best cookset iv ever used iv even baked bread in it this item will sell out in no time at all so if you have the money buy it now you will not regret it 😉
Awesome , I love the french press, no plastic like the Stanley I've been using. My Pathfinder Hammock is still in great condition, I use it just about every day, in this Florida weather, take good care of it and put it away when not using it, but I us it out back , been on a week long trip in the Smokey mountains with it. I would easily busy another Pathfinder Hammock, if something happened to mine, I have just started making content, and will try to make a video showing all my Pathfinder gear, I'm proud to own.
Been using a titanium Chinesium stove stand on my Trangia. It works for what it is, but that's all it does. I love the multifunctionality of this new one coming out.
Ordered the PMF40 mess kit from MidwayUSA. Ive got the swedish aluminum version and like it. Unfortunately the Pathfinder stainless version i have has some rough internal surface that obviously was not fully finished and the hinge on the top cap was bent. I like concept. I like the stainless windscreen. Quality of build was left wanting.
That M40 set in all stainless is pretty sweet. Always been a solid system for the trangia burner but with the aluminium windscreen it didn't quite make it to multi fuel possibilities. With it been stainless can it now be used as a wood burner with the addition of a couple metal sticks across the top? Seems like the the multi tool stove would be a no brainer to be used in this fashion if it has the necessary slots to make it stable. Nate
Appreciate your incalculable contributions to Bushcraft. With collapse of Western Civilization accelerating and unstoppable this will help us healthy elements left set forth a degree of Civillity in the resultant Chaos.
Excellent video Dave Canterbury. Great products and SRO's quality and support always deliver satisfaction. I already own the original 48oz cup and 64oz bottle set. Will the French Press be offered separately from the cup? I really don't need another 48oz cup. Thank you for the video and for sharing your thoughts, ideas and experience with us and for your continued dedication and research to bring quality and useful products to your customers and fellow outdoorsman.

Yes I wholeheartedly agree with you Dean!
The amount of foresight and thought and engineering and continued passion that you put into your products is just totally awesome and so appreciated. Thank you very much sir!!
I'm just gonna say it now... That cross stand is such a good idea and so simple it ms genius really. 👍
Stove stand is very impressive, nicely done!
Awesome products again that work with kit we already have thanks to all of you for putting the thought into these great products!
Yellow Heat! Learn something new every day, ive been using the Red didn't seem to work well for me though i had a problem with my stove. Thank you Dave
Sweetness right there, David. LOVE that it's in SS and not aluminum. I really like that French Press. Good pieces of kit. Thanks.
I have the original two of the original M40 mess kits and one of the stainless versions as well. I purchased and have received the Pathfinder M40 mess kit and it's perfect!

Thank you very much for coming out with this mess kit and new stove a pot stand I will get a lot of use! ATB Sam Adler from Vietnam!
We have a Molle bag that fits it already on our site buddy
Good stuff Sir, greatly appreciate you putting in the effort to make us outdoorsmen's lives better through good quality, well thought out gear, keep up the great work!
Well thought out....
The cafetiere and pot is a great multi-use idea... The aero-press coffee system is a one trick pony, and if you run out of filters you're screwed.... Plus with the stainless steel durability of the cafetiere it'll last for many years....
Top notch ! Thanks for the great videos 👍
Really love that you made the stove stand a multi-tool! Always thought it should be that way.
I have the both original aluminum and the stainless m40. I've used the stainless for years. It's a great kit. I received your stainless kit a week ago and I'm impressed. It's actually lighter than the original stainless m40 which should appeal to many because the original is very desired and hard to get, but they are heavy. Your stainless m40 is durable and lightweight, a good combination.
Also, I fit 2 stanley green cups, trangia stove, fuel bottle, pot grabber, utensals, coffee and sponge inside my m40. My standard setup for years now.
Just got my M-40...Gotta get the kuska as well. Dave, your store is my goto...Its perfect kit to employ after a long days hunt or a hike. Sir you are a blessing....

Much respect to your dedication!
Are you guys are absolutely the tops! I absolutely love all of your gear! Thanks so much for what you do!
Awesome French press. Love how the plunger comes off giving you a cup/pot with lid 👍🏻
These are all well designed and thought out products. How ever, for ME, I had to decide to stop buying gear and use what I have, which isn't often these days.

Just purchased the French Coffee Press. Followed the video directions and it worked perfectly! Very pleased with the purchase. 👌🏻
Just received my M40 Swedish Mess Kit this week!
It is top notch in every way!
Wish I had seen this before I paid $260.00 for an original and very used kit from UK.
This is a great piece of kit that I will use often.
I can honestly say that I have not had a piece of kit from Self Reliance Outfitters that hasn’t been of excellent quality and workability! 😎
I see now what a great stocking stuffer the stove stand will be. Looking forward to Friday's ordering information.
Dave, you are an excellent example of a “true American entrepreneur “ that founded and built this country into the prosperous country it has become. Congrats on the introduction of some new products.

Definitely gonna place an order when available.
Outstanding professor
Nice new kit and items!

I have a video cooking Pizza a few weeks Go
Awesome I just got my pathfinder m40 mess kit to day thanks I be watching for the new alcohol stove thanks
Just got my alcohol stove. Ready to get off work to try it out. Awesome video my friend.
Everything is reasonably priced. Lots of value for the money.
Great video and products Dave thanks
Dave has been the where I go when it comes time to trade up something in my pack outs. Thanks Dave!
HI, nice to see the old swedish "Snuskburken" in a new edition 🙂
Hope you get a bunch of stock of these. The M40 mess kit is stellar. I've got the aluminum version and love it but have wanted an stainless one forever.
My bush pot, pot stand and French press came today, looking forward to trying them out
Thanks for more great content! The stove stand is awesome and practical!!!
I have been needing one of those Trangia stands for the longest time.
Thank you Dave.
I will be getting on asap.
It’s great to see a new M40. The originals both stainless and aluminum are hard to find and very expensive.
I love all of the new kit and your Philosophy on design.
One point. I have the 32oz bottle kit and the stove alcohol burner combination is not efficient when the burner is placed under the stove. I’ve gotten very long times to boil and it gets pretty hot.
I filed notches in the bottom of the stove, flip it over, place the burner inside and place tent stakes in the notches for a pot stand. Works great then.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for confirming that the French press cup will fit the 64 oz bottle! That’s all I needed to hear before ordering one!
You are awesome! So glad you have different platforms. Love season one and two! Won't watch any others.
Dave, you're pretty amazing dude. The idea to turn the stove lifter into a multi tool is really clever.
Dave is so awesome!

Modular expansion kit.....really nice Sir.
Just received my first SRO brand toys today, namely a haversack and a cup, plus a flint and steel kit. I have to say the quality of these products on their own tell you that Dave can stand behind the quality and not loose any sleep!
Nice kit.
Great video. Well thought out product's.
Great stuff Dave, thanks for making an M-40 cook-set, been wanting one for a long time now, the originals I gave up trying to find, the ones I did were outrageously expensive. I missed the boat on that! Time to save up some $ to get the M-40.
We’ll that’s just great. I want it all. Great video as usual Dave. I’ll be ordering Friday morning. Thanks again.
Dave, THANK YOU for this amazing kit!! I'll order mine very soon! All stainless is perfect! Atb - Luther
Wow Dave! All excellent, well thought out products. I'm seriously considering the French press.
Thank you Dave! i will be getting this.
The new coffee is amazing addition

When are the multi fuel stoves going to be back in stock? Thanks for the great products and videos. Kerry D in TN
Great stuff Dave!!..
Cool - and the Stove Stand can use the 90° edge to also light the stove with a ferro rod! - yet another tool for the count!
Dave this is awesome! ESPECIALLY the m40 cook set. I can't find em anywhere and when I did come across one, the price...🤯🤯🤯!!! I can't wait to get one!!
Be nice to make a tubuware container for the alchol stove.
Well thought out products. Always enjoy your videos. Hopefully you can come out with a Titanium version of the French Press.
Das schwedische Kochgeschirr M40 endlich in Edelstahl. Ich bin begeistert 😀😃🙂🙃😊
Looking forward to you'll getting your titanium stuff back in stock!
Thank you 👍.
Thanks Dave
I have the original Swedish m40 trangia and it's the best cookset iv ever used iv even baked bread in it this item will sell out in no time at all so if you have the money buy it now you will not regret it 😉
Awesome product design. Nothing gimmicky or flimsy crap. Just well thought out and bomb proof. Pathfinder: making gear great again!
I need one of all of them. Great for hiking & camping.
Awesome , I love the french press, no plastic like the Stanley I've been using. My Pathfinder Hammock is still in great condition, I use it just about every day, in this Florida weather, take good care of it and put it away when not using it, but I us it out back , been on a week long trip in the Smokey mountains with it.
I would easily busy another Pathfinder Hammock, if something happened to mine, I have just started making content, and will try to make a video showing all my Pathfinder gear, I'm proud to own.
great products sir...i hope it sells well for you
Good coffee while roughing it. I love it!
Great stuff thanks Dave!
Good stuff Dave, always trying to improve things for perfection.
Love that French press
This is great stuff, Dave! I'm looking for a camp oven. I wanna make baked potatoes when I can't use campfire.
I have used 120 proof and 151 proof distilled liquour in my alcohol stove and they both did well but the 120 proof took a little longer to heat food
now imagine that set sold in titanium. the weight savings would be priceless. well done Dave! :)
Great kit. I hope Dave decides to make a titanium m40 version as well
Omg I love that cook set
Been using a titanium Chinesium stove stand on my Trangia. It works for what it is, but that's all it does. I love the multifunctionality of this new one coming out.
Ordered the PMF40 mess kit from MidwayUSA. Ive got the swedish aluminum version and like it. Unfortunately the Pathfinder stainless version i have has some rough internal surface that obviously was not fully finished and the hinge on the top cap was bent. I like concept. I like the stainless windscreen. Quality of build was left wanting.
Will the alcohol stove work with Firebox Nano?
Have you considered making one of those box framed flat pack stove set ups? Where this could be the top cross bars?
That M40 set in all stainless is pretty sweet. Always been a solid system for the trangia burner but with the aluminium windscreen it didn't quite make it to multi fuel possibilities. With it been stainless can it now be used as a wood burner with the addition of a couple metal sticks across the top? Seems like the the multi tool stove would be a no brainer to be used in this fashion if it has the necessary slots to make it stable.

Thank you
looks awesome!
Appreciate your incalculable contributions to Bushcraft. With collapse of Western Civilization accelerating and unstoppable this will help us healthy elements left set forth a degree of Civillity in the resultant Chaos.
Dave the m40 Swedish where all stainless.The m44 is when they changed to aluminum
I have been waiting a long time for a durable French press. Nice!
Does the stove have a wick inside the wall like the Trangia?
put the hook into the slot on the side and it keeps the bail away from the side of the pot .
Good stuff dude, you can see the thought that went into this.
Missed opportunity not making the French press rod double function as a .410 shotgun 😆😆
You got me excited with the M40!
Our Molle bag fits it well
Looks awesome! Still hoping for Grayl nesting cup and filter when restocked!
Excellent video Dave Canterbury. Great products and SRO's quality and support always deliver satisfaction. I already own the original 48oz cup and 64oz bottle set.
