Using the alcohol stove & hexamine fuel tabs gives plenty of options. It's a terrific cook set. I wont be building a fire in mine. The main pot has a good capacity & the shape packs very well into saddlebags on my motorcycle. The shape makes it more convenient for me than my Trangia 25 storm cooker. Thank you for sharing👍
👍 .. if necessary, as a heat shield under my burners (Trangia / Fancy Feast / Other), I use a piece of a Silicon Kitchen Pot Mat cut to size. Good heat damage resistance and slow Thermal Transfer Properties. Ja, a twig fire would be only as an absolute last gasp 😁 .. best stick to that designed for it. Although, the Alcohol Gel Fuel that I get here in my neck of the woods burns extremely cleanly and hot .. albeit, not quite as hot as the liquid stuff.
I just got it. I have the pouch for the PF canteen cook set. Everyone says the M40 fits in it. It doesn’t. Anyone know a pouch that will work with it? CLS is closed until October. They have the “Ma” canteen pouch which it would easily fit in.
While watching that video, I noticed that the wind deflector wobbles quite a bit. It seems that the bottom of the windshield is not straight but shaped. If this is the case, the manufacturer should take over quality control.
Was your 145e for the cook set, alcohol burner and carrying case or just the cook set? I know things from the US can cost more in Europe also shipping is rough. Most of the canteens and mess kits I see on eBay, shipping is around 20 US.
@@planetsideagent canteen cost 110-120 (Sale) + 21% tax. Alcohol stove 35.19 + tax. Shipping from USA = 60 USD + tax and import costs. Ebay shipping is unfair. Believe me when i say its sad to sell to Europeans with these European laws. Very high Tax
You might not get good air flow up side down, probable best to set the pot sideways and you could feed sticks from the side. I'm thinking of doing some burn tests.
You have to turn the wind screen upside down to use as a twig stove.

Riding in a saddlebag the M40 would hold up better than the Trangia.

Silicon or silicone?
They are completely different.
@@danielkutcher5704 Use your common sense. In my case, a spelling error.

I put a piece of tin at the bottom and cut the side bit alil and it works great
I would like a proper lid. And spot welds on cup i stead of aluminun rivets. He cheaped out.od the lid. No aluminum
I paid 145 euro's for this entire kit in The Netherlands. I hope its worth it once it arrives and that its not a cheap piece of crap. Aprox 156,20 USD
They're solid. I've never had any issues with Pathfinder gear.
@@planetsideagent i really hope its true. Cause i spend way too much
