Guys, this is just an amazing set. Good job! It can be the best bushcraft kit all over the world if you make a flask that fits perfectly inside. I mean something like your "39oz Wide-mouth Stainless Steel Canteen", but shaped like this pot and maybe with a slightly larger mouth if that's possible. Good luck!
This is absolutely brilliant as a cookset! The Trangia of Bushcraft/prepping/survival. Without even testing it, i can enumerate it's strongpoints: - The ridge around the new alcohol stove design solves the trangia's biggest problem: cold. Alcohol is my go to fuel except for 4th season camping, where it is harder to use. The little ridge allows for a little fuel to be placed there. That will preheat the stove, and make it bloom into full blast faster. That is useful year round but crucial in the winter where an alcohol stove can be almost useless. I always light my DIY alcohol stoves with a match, because that way I can put the match to the side of the burner and before the match burns out, it preheats the stove and fuel inside. That shortens blooming time largely. That's the same principle that will work with the little ridge. - Using an alcohol stove will mean you can buy alcohol in bulk, which is critical in disinfecting tools for example. I always bring a little with me wherever I go. (ofc bleach is much more concentrated per oz as a disinfectant, but it's nice to have something that will work in seconds, and evaporate with no trace). I even bought a distilling kit which I can use to make alcohol for fuel, drinking and preserving food supplies. - Efficiency. Both in weight (because the potstand it the windshield) and in fuel efficiency (since the windbreaker surrounds and cups the cookware, effectively concentrating the flame and directing the heat to it. This most definetly recoups some heat that would be lost to the wind, or even simple convection.) - Lifetime guarantee isn't even needed. SS will outlast us with little to no care/attention. It can dent or rust but only out of pure neglect or ill intent. - Versatile as SS can be used with all kinds of stoves, even a campfire because of the Bail handle on the pot - Weight at 34oz is high, but that's a pot capable of cooking for two easily. plus you can replace the pan with a canteen and have it nestling, and saving even more space. (but personally I keep my lighter, firestarters, kindling and cooking utensils inside my cookware)
Been playing with Pathfinder stove....denatured alcohol gets 59 minutes total burn time before running out of fuel without flame regulation. Ever clear 151 proof distilled alcohol gets 78 minutes under the same conditions.
I think you may have out done yourself with this video - very well done! I have this product and am looking forward to using it more. P.S. please let me know when the titanium version is going to be available.
This is a luxury ONE made better than the original Swedish army canteen. Being made of stainless steel, the weight of the full set of canteen is close to 1 kg. So I wish the windbreaker part was made of aluminum and only the part that cooks food was made of stainless steel for safety. I also wish there was a space for a strap, like a German army canteen, so that it could be easily hung on the backpack's molle system.
Will the alcohol stove fit on the "firesticks" on a G2 Firebox stove, like the Trangia burner (that has the "lips" or edge that allows the Trangia to "hook" onto) ???
not in the convenient fashion, since it is wider than the original trangia burner, you would need to put the firestick on the diamond slot further down and rest the alcohol stove on top of the sticks.
Hopefully this one is the same gauge stainless as the original military one. Actually have my original military stainless I bought as new unused stock on eBay now for sale to replace it with this one. Only because I really wanted the stainless windscreen more than anything. And I didn’t care for the smell that came off of the original one. Only used it twice to boil water. An due to the smell. Can only imagine from the paint I never actually used it for food. So definitely hope this one is a winner. Really hate to be offing the real deal one. But do have high hopes.
Is stainless steel so more durable than copper, takes longer to bloom though. Trangia only has seams issues when you let it burn dry too many times. Hope this helps since I have both, the part I like about the Pathfinder is the fact that burns much longer without refills if I’m cooking something other than boiling water this is my go to stove.
@@jamesvickery308 Not really. For some reason Dave copied the Alum. m44 kit and made it out of stainless. I wonder if the Chinese use food grade stainless?
@@AquaTech225 The previous generation pathfinder store alcohol stoves leaked. Mine leaked from the day I got it. I went as far as replacing the gasket even though the one that came with it was brand new, but it didn't help. I was ghosted by their customer service. I even tried to leave a review which was honest but negative and they removed my comment.
@@buckshot4428 did you reviewed in Amazon? Every time I have an issue with an item giving it a bad but polite review never gets posted. Tons of reviews of people getting products for free and other bogus ones. Amazon reviews are a joke.
This is great as long as you can keep and stock alcohol. Alcohol is not renewable. But, you can always find wood, wet or dry to start a fire and cook up some grub. Save your money and the use of excess space to carry more gear. If you're camping a day or so, this is great. But in a SHTF issues, my go-to is wood, it's free and there's plenty to go around. Prep pray and stay outta the way. Be blessed
I’m a somewhat recent convert to alcohol stoves. What I love best is they’re completely silent and have little odor with the right fuel. Perfect for when stealth is needed or wanted!
I don't even want to begin to imagine how hard to clean this thing is going to be. Stainless steel cookware absolutely sucks out in the field, with the only thing worse being cast iron. If this was made of the same speckled hard anodised aluminium that the GSI Soloist pots are made of, I'd buy it, but being stainless steel, I just can't justify it considering the amount of water and scrubbing that is required to clean it... Hard pass...
@@carmenmartinez2882 Seasoning is just the act of pre-oiling your cooking vessel, and you have to do it almost every time you cook - No kind of fat or grease will ever 'soak' into a metal surface... I'd rather just use a nonstick cooking vessel whereby liquid-ey foods just slide right off it when you're done, with zero scrubbing required at all...
@@Funkteon Seasoning is *NOT* pre-oiling every time you use it. I've got 70 year old cast iron cook ware (heirloom) that is as non-stick as any teflon/ceramic pan because of the carbon layer that's built up. You can make all the claims to material science you want...the fact is you simply don't understand how to season...or cook on...cast iron.
Now this is a beautiful kit.
Fun little fact about or old mess kits; there are commonly refered to as "snuskburken" - the filth jar :)
Wow you guys are killing it! Killing me too, I’m broke right now!
That was awesome!!! Amazing production value!!! Better than Hollywood! 👍👍👍

Awesome product and even better price
Nicely done, awesome production value.
I just got mine delivered today and totally stoked about it.
I am SO getting a pair of these kits! 😎👍

I love it
glad they are finally shipping after the delayed pre order.

This is the best copy of the Swedish Military stove!! I think it's the best bullet proof stove.
Nice
Cool kit! Liquid fuel is easy to carry, too.
Stainless steel!!! lol 😂 I want one.

It’s exactly what I need! Friggin’ broke though 😢 Maybe the bushcraft fairy will gift me one?

Does the alcohol stove fit inside a firebox nano?

The new alcohol stove isn’t on the website yet. How leak proof is it? Will it need seam soldering like the Trangia? Will it fit in my Bushbox UL?

I have an actual Swedish M-40 kit, but I use the PF burner...
可惜呀！中間少了一個鍋子。
但是用不鏽鋼材質就是比較安全耐用。
It’s basically copy of Swedish Army cook set ( that one, that was made from stainless steel and that one which I have still)
Not basically a copy, it is an exact copy
of the stainless steel version of the kit. Just ordered mine.
It gets here tomorrow.
@@jamesvickery308 Not really. For some reason Dave copied the Alum. m44 kit and made it out of stainless. I wonder if the Chinese use food grade stainless?
@@buckshot4428 Probably to prevent scammers from beating them up and selling them as vintage...
@@buckshot4428 "Pathfinder has recreated this kit to exact specifications in High Quality 304 Food Grade Stainless Steel". Wonder if it's magnetic?
That's a pretty freaky sound design.
Copy of the Swedish mess kit, now this is interesting.
Can you just burn wood instead of using the alcohol stove?
Yes you can as the windshield is stainless steel, it will discolor but it won't melt like the original aluminum screen.
I wonder if this new stove will leak as bad as the old ones did
What old one? Gotta ask now that I threw out money on it.

Learn how to make moonshine, alcohol is renewable.
Unless there’s a fire ban, then you’re stuck without boiling water or cooking lol. Only gas canister under fire bans.
@@carmenmartinez2882 Does a fire in one of these, or a nano stove, count as an open flame under the law?
