You two cost me a fortune 😂just used the last fire maple stuff lol 😂
Good kit isn’t it!
@@ontheroadadventure very good that’s the problem? Lol 😂
Ahhhh enjoy it... why not!
also stick a couple of eggs to boil at the same time as cooking the ration packs. Breakfast of championships right there
Excellent idea! Thanks
X2 Pro sounds like an F35 preparing for take off!
Ewa: “thought it was really toxic”….Rich: “ah, don’t matter”! Hilarious 😂
It’s got some power!
😂😂💪
Ring is looking nice Eva!!
🤣🤣😂 A proud girl
Wow! 3 mins to boiling, that's impressive! Decent bit of kit that Firemaple 👍
We love their stuff and it’s all at such good prices too
Excellent as usual you two
Thanks Glynn
I lived off of ration packs for years as kid (perks of having parents in the military) I loved them all and watching you guys try them for the first time brings back some amazing memories for me. Thank you guys so much for your videos ❤
We are yet to sample the full menu, but we will!
@@ontheroadadventure they are very high in calories roughly 4000 per 24 hour ration packs, the biscuits are good on the road as they block you up the gun will relieve this with us added laxatives haha. In general I really enjoyed them especially the puddings.
We will let you know how we get on when we review them in time
My OEX Tacana is very similar, I use that and a large Ridgemonkey 👌
Ridgemonkey is amazing, I even use that at home now!
Stand by your tent's for inspection 😂
🫡
Looks a great product, the sausage and beans looked good for a quick meal when travelling 👍
We are waiting for a smaller version of the grill pan that will work on this and then we will be able to cook everything on it
Sorry to say I had a fire maple screw in stove top and it fell apart after a couple of weeks. Still watched the vid all the way through, 👍🏻 up and comment to support your channel 😁
Oh that sucks, which one do you have? Did you contact them for a replacement?
It broke on the road in Finland. No space to keep it until I return to U.K. no big deal, I replaced it, not expensive !
I bet with a couplepics they woul;d replace it for you, they seem very good as a company
3:19 Damn - you gased that dude in the background aaaawaaaaayyyyyy 😂
Lol yes well spotted!! 🤣
I find it interesting that you are using Coleman gas to power your cooking because you are touring Normandy and during the war, there was a small Coleman gas stove in every American Sherman tank. I don't know if they were included with the British Shermans, but I do know that they were much sought after by infantry as well. Basically the arrangement was the same as you are using with only the technology being different. Ive been an enthusiastic camper and backpacker all of my life starting in high school and I am well acquainted with the old technology. You would fill a small tank at the bottom of the set up with petrol, then there was a pump which you manually pumped air into the tank to create pressure. There was a valve that regulated how hot you wanted to make it burn, and a flange attachment that allowed you to place a pot on where you could boil water, or like you are doing with the plastic army ration pack, the soldier could place a tin can with a variety of different food items from condensed milk to canned vegetables into the hot water to warn the contents. But they had to make sure that pressure inside the can did not build up and perhaps make the can explode. Then also had an early form of powdered coffee and some cheese in cans. thanks for showing that nice Fire Maple stove set up. When I backpack, I do not like the modern propane stoves because I find a certain romance with old time backpacking gear and I use a petrol fueled Sven stove, a design from the 1920s. Again, same set up, fuel at a small tank at the bottom, a stem, a burner that is made of brass as is most of the stove. You do not have to pump the Sven, there is a small channel in the petrol tank that runs around the stem of the burner. You put petrol in the channel or use fire starting paste, and set it alight. In a very short period of time the heat builds up pressure in the fuel tank and as the fuel starts shooting out of the stem into the burner, the fire sets that alight. It is not a constant hiss but rather sounds like a pulse jet like the old V1 rocket sounds like. So it pops... pops...pops very fast. Where ever I have camped where there are other backpackers they are all using propane bottled gas and hearing my stove they come over to see what the noise it and they see a beautiful all brass stove heating up water. The aluminum pot that serves as a cover for the stove when it goes into the backpack is very small, about 8 ounces or a cup of coffee size. However, it works just fine especially when using freeze dried meals. You just cut an opening in the bag and pour the water in and fold it closed and in five minutes you have a meal for one or two people. I have very little idea what the old hikers did for food, perhaps they cooked rice or potatoes in water or a can of vegetables since canned vegetables goes back well into the previous century before the Sven stove was invented. Thanks for another fun video!
Wow we had no idea, that was really interesting to read. We are getting quite the collection of camping cooking kit now, it’s addictive
Your so lucky Rich having Ewa to cook those perfect sausages. But! where is the gravy for the potatoes.. 😑👍🏍🤣
I know, shocking behaviour 😉
That’s a good cooker actually!
Great all rounder
It'll be interesting to see how you get on with it, as I believe you normally use a trangia. I normally use the Fire Maple but was thinking about getting a trangia also. Fire maple for boiling the water for coffee/tea and the trangia for cooking, as I believe you get extra pots with the trangia. Keep us posted on how you get on, please.
Still loving all your vids 😊
Each has its perks, this one is small and portable simplicity at its best. The firemaple Saturn grill for example is perfect for grilling meat etc but is a one trick pony… one that I love deeply though! Firemaple also do a copy of the trangia but at a much cheaper cost, it’s marginally bigger than the Trangia though
@ontheroadadventure that's interesting to know about the Fire Maples version of the trangia, thank you, I'll go take a look
Use the link in our video description and you’ll get 10% off anything
You need to do the dragon rally in feb. Been going since the early 60's
Oh yes we know of that one but never been
That brings back some memories, boiling ya food then using the water for ya coffee or tea. Cool video. To be fair to the army, the food was good and the coffee not bad.
For simplicity on a weekend trip these rations would work but they are too heavy to carry very many for a longer trip
Love your adventures and you two are funny
Thanks so much!
Women in the background only wanted a coffee 😂😂 great as always 😊
We often get some amusing people in the background, people love to stand and stare to see what we are doing with the cameras 🤣
Best thing to do with boil in the bags is fold in half..food all in one place..these bags can take a lot of punishment...Place in sideways and you can fit them in and still be able to put the lid on
Thanks we will try that, we have allot of the army rations at home to try!
Seeing as your love of camping has developed you should go!
We maywell…
Its 1 crazy event
I’m with you Ewa on instant coffee 😝… stick with tea when the real stuff ain’t available.
🤣 Good stuff or not at all!
Looks good .. just needs a see through lid
Makes sense 👍
Nice review. I use one of the well know other brands, and as you say, these stoves are brilliant for a quick brew, cooking up some one pot dinners, or heating up MREs. We didn't get your opinion of the rations - is that coming? I personally think they are pretty good and great for an easy/quick meal when you don't have the time/energy for a full on cook up.
Hi Mark, we intended to take the rations for cheap easy eating on tour but they are incredibly heavy to carry, so we will do full menu reviews when we are back from the all in tour. But the two meals I have tried were both perfectly edible
Yum yum...ration packs...lol. just throw them in a bag and take a lucky dip.
We only had chance to try this one before we went away but we will do full menu reviews when we are back from the all in tour
watch your video , the outside of the pot was bulging at the bottom after full boil. somthing is failing .
Optical illusion maybe? When we go home from our current tour we will boil the hell out of it and have a good look but we can’t see it 🤷♂️
Niçe one guys
Cheers cliff
Some people slag off the army rat packs but I think they are very good, had a few 24 hour boxes that contain 2 main meals and a breakfast, only negative was the one with a muesli breakfast that was 🤮. I use a Crusader cooking system with a triangia burner, not the fastest but packs down very small.
For £15 a days feed it can’t be that bad! Time will tell
@@andydavidson I found the muesli is better if you use milk rather than water. It’s still average, but better 😂
Noted, cheers
Agree with Ewa - not drinking boiled plastic water ... 😂
Ahhh it will be alright!
@@ontheroadadventure 😂 I sense this is Rich saying this. Actually I could do it but only if I remembered to wash the packet first and it was good quality …
Yes, because rich is known for being the hardened biker that will eat anything! lol
Stop it you 2. Costing me money. Loved the look of this so just ordered one and the hot plate 😂 excited to get camping. Just need the big tap turned off in the sky 😢
You have one more than us now! We really want the plate to go on this too
@ontheroadadventure when I got the cooker it offered me.20% off anotjrt purchase so thought bugger it lol
Oh well, its good kit, youll enjoy it as we do
Can I drive the support vehicle for all your kit?😂
Ride safe 👍
Do you have HGV licence?
@@ontheroadadventure yes. Full Arctic, if required. 😷
and trailer!
No, first rinse the bag! Then cook the MRE, then make coffee with the water! 😂😂
Ahhh be alright 🤣
@@ontheroadadventure 😂😂💪
You didn't say how tasty the army rations were 🤔😅
Cheap and cheerful! We will do full ration reviews when we come home from the all in tour 🤣
Check the exp dates .🤣
As fresh as it gets 🤣
👍🌹
Cheers
@@ontheroadadventure I wish you success my friend
