I know this might sound a bit weird, but thank you for your videos. I'm house bound because of my ever growing list of allergens but watching your videos is soothing somehow. I'll never be able to go out on a hunt or anything like that but I find it endlessly interesting to learn about hunting.
I didn't see any Old Bay.
You feeling ok? Lol.
It should be added as part of the 10c's... number 11 'C'easoning 😉
Nice video!
Did you know Kelly Kettles were developed in Ireland by farmer and fisherman Patrick Kelly in the 1890s? Since the kettles were capable of quick boil times on wet and windy days they became a hit among fisherman, and only grew in popularity with the outdoor community since! The functionality of the kettles has evolved to offer even more, including a fire-base and kettle chimneys as additional cooking surfaces
The hobo stove is a must have with the Trekker being small. It's a game changer. Now as the Ultimate Kit, it's a great solo cook system. Thank you for sharing.
We would have less problems in this world if everyone spent a little more time in the woods! Great vid!!!
We've had the Kelly system for 3 years now. It is fantastic! I did a side-by-side boil water test with the Kelly and a twig stove, a nesbit chemical stove, and Firebox stove. Winner? Kelly, followed by Firebox. The others work, but not nearly as efficiently. The Kelly and Firebox systems are really well designed and have lots of flexibility.
I'm the happy owner of a Kelly-Kettle Scout model. I'm sure this item will be an excellent addition the offer of your shop. I don't know how well known it is in North-America, but here in Europe several manufacturers offer models in different sizes since many decades ago. I would strongly advice potential buyers to use stainless steel versions, and not aluminum. For 2 reasons. First of all, aluminum cook ware should, and is, phased out because of health concerns. Second, the direct heat from the fire rapidly and increasingly softens the aluminum and deforms the whole set-up to the point of needing it to be re-shaped constantly. Even if the stainless steel is a bit heavier, go for it. This said, I there would be a titanium Kelly-Kettle to come out one day, I would consider it, even if the price would be very high, I presume.
Love the Kelly Kettle, been using them for years, from Gail force winds on the beach to torrential rain in the swamps.
Highly recommendable Kelly kettle I have one and so has my son great for camping/ fishing / out pigeon shooting brews a hot drink and a quick meal made here in the UK, thanks for sharing Dave nice video well presented.
👍👌🇬🇧
Got me a Kelly Kettle. Used it on a Boy Scout trip, so far. The beauty is that you don’t have to pack fuel. You can cook over the kettle,which Dave didn’t show, using the heat from the flue.
David, what a life . This is brilliant. I just bought a Trekker Kelly Kettle and I bring it fly fishing with me. Im only using it for tea atm but your giving me good ideas. Great video
i had a beaver roast when i was a kid and i remember it being a real rich color and a taste simular to beef
I'm from New Zealand and we don't have beaver, but I've heard it taste like beef. N.Z. beef is brought up on grass and tastes extremely good, so I gather so does beaver.
can disinfect water easy in it as well, i like that set up
Dave, there is nothing like watching you eat!!
Thanks for everything brother.
I am in uk just got a kelly kettle scout, its the next size up 1.2 litre. Very good if a bit bulky but not heavy.. i also have a trangia 27 if you combine the two you have a good system have used trangia burner in kelly kettle to that works too.
Interested to hear your honest views on these differing kit options. Most of can’t afford to buy and try it all, and I respect your seasoned input. Thanks.
I have just purchased the "Ultimate Trekker".. so excited to cook on it. We have power outages where I live so this will be a fantastic system to use. Great video.. thank you.
Praying for you Dave, hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas. Enjoy your video's!
Love that song in the beginning!
I love you Dave. I used to watch all of your videos on the regular, but life happened and I've been distracted lately. I forgot how much I enjoy watching your process'. There is a confidence and a beauty to the way you do outdoor tasks. When i want to know the best way to do "whatever" in the bush I look to you; you will always be my guy. Happy new year brother.
Fine acoustic music on this video. I never got on so well as I hoped to do with my Kelly Kettle set: I had a larger model but it still did not boil much water for what appeared, at first glance, to be its packing volume. It did not help that I forgot the warning NOT TO LEAVE THE PLUG IN THE WATER SPOUT when boiling up. About the time I remembered that, the plug blew out! Hot water sprayed everywhere. Nothing wrong with the small 'twig-style' stove. It did what it was first designed to do: brew up and provide a hot lunch for road workers in Britain. There is no doubt that it is a good piece of kit in wet weather with some breeze. The stove is well-screened on the sides and the bottle shelters the fire from the elements. It also makes a good teaching kit for a class of individuals who want to build their own fires and purify water and reheat a small can of hash, stew, soup.
So glad you guys are getting this stuff. The Kelly kettle is some well thought out good quality stuff. I bought all my stuff seperate, but I think you save money buying the kits
Dave you are the true day Daniel Boone my friend. Totally enjoy everything you do. Also great products at the store which I have bought from. Best wishes to you and your family in 2019. Take care brother, this world is not in good shape.
I always appreciate Dave's economy and purpose when he moves around. He doesn't seem to do anything that he doesn't need to.
beaver is actually delicious, especially when stewed, it almost has a pulled pork texture. I always recommend stewing freshly killed meat to make it tender. Fresh meat needs to be aged to tenderize and reduce the affects of rigor mortis but there are exceptions depending on the animal and size
I would've used my hand to baton those small branches. That's why you're the expert and I'm the idiot with splinters
I have been a HUGE fan of the Kelly Kettle system for years for the reasons you lay out in the video. Glad you're offering them on Self Reliance Outfitters. I would never want to be without the base camp model whether for camping or emergencies because the primary thing one needs to do in either situation is boil water and NOTHING does it more efficiently. To be able to convert it to a "stick stove" as well seals the deal. I prefer the Pathfinder bush pot and fry pan which work with it just fine but having a pot and lid that pack up inside the kettle is compelling.
You can get the same thing done with a Pie Tin, Cut out Coffee Can and some steel rods.
Pick up a Kelly Kettle. awhile back. It is great on the 6 wheeler. For that quick lunch and hot coffee. Nice video! Thank you for posting it.
You got some turkey tail mushrooms on that stump to make a good medicinal tea with too brother ! Thanks for your great work and best wishes for the new year sir! 👍🏽👍🏽😎
It has it's place, i like that it is a kit and will fit someone's style of doing things while retaining or adhering to the five/ten c's.
Dave. Have to say this is very educational. Thanks for the chance to learn.
Is that notch in the knife blade a modification? Or an illusion? 🤣 0:47
A trick I picked up while living in SE Alaska was, 70% beaver and, 30% black bear fat makes a great burger.
Sounds good. Beaver meat is so lean.need to have a little bit of fat with it. I live in the mountains or NW Oregon. Beavers are always flooding things back there.
Been a fan of debris stoves and been using SOLO stove and settled on it as a primary.
I've got the med and large Kelly. They have changed the design a little I see for the cookset but I found them brilliant for boiling water as they will run on grass, leaves, twigs, etc...but the stove part will only take small stuff so if burns too hot for cooking I've found
I read this, this is part of the post, from Kelly Kettle on some UK bush craft site
Says new kelly kettle stuff coming out this summer
The Kelly Kettle company is in its 4th Generation. Our kettles have been copied over recent years (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery) yet we continue to be inventive and are first to bring you bespoke cook sets, a pot-support for cooking over the chimney, stainless steel kettles and cook sets. We also have some exciting new, yet simple, bespoke products in the advanced design stage which will be launched this summer.
Lost in the debate below and in the video above is the fact that there is available (or you could yourself fabricate) an insert for the chimney that enables you to cook in a pot or pan WHILE you're bringing your water to boil. By the time the water is ready for coffee or tea, the bacon & eggs (or steak, stew, etc.) are cooked, also. Try that with your gas system! When not in use, the insert (2 flat, slotted metal pieces that make a cross to hold your pot) slip easily into the chimney when you pack up. You handle the hot pieces with the pot grabber in the kit.
It almost looks like you could choke down on the fuel and vertically cook in the flue of the Kelly kettle
There is a "pot support" for cooking over the chimney. The problem is the water boils so fast, it's not possible to finish cooking that way.
David, that kelly trekker system cooker is the bomb ! that's kool.
I got baited in from the video image just to look at this thing. Pretty cool kit Cantebury.
Got a bite of beaver and turtle soup 60odd yrs ago ,both were great.A goat roasted over fire all night made the best b,bq I,ve ever eaten.My dad was a river rat that ate anything but beef.He believed you killed it you ate it.
dave. you should look into rocket mass heaters for permanent yurt heat. ran across them in youtube. very neat
The main advantage seems to be speed. Additionally, carrying water in the container is probably possible. No need to carry fuel, as the plan would be to make fuel-but that goes against the concept of speed (processing fuel).
I’d like to see a side by side comparison to a jet boil with similar capacity as far as weight and times (assuming no time required to find / prepare fuel on the kettle).
Of course, the jet boil fuel is expensive (and is a finite resource):
You really know you're Canadian... Long ago when I was 15 yrs old I came home from school hungry as usual. My Pa asked me if I'd like a hot sandwich, and I said absolutely. Now I knew we didn't have much and it was just me and my Pa in those days but he set about and fixed me up a hot sandwich smothered in gravy. After voraciously devouring this delicious meal, he asked me how I liked it. I told him "Pa that was an awesome sandwich but where did you get the beef I thought we were all out of food"? He said "son that wasn't beef that was beaver leg, see there on the counter there's more". I looked on the counter and sure enough there was a broiled beaver leg and the left overs of the other. I should have known because our old friend the trapper was sitting there at the table chuckling to himself over his hot tea. First and only time I've ever eaten beaver. :)
Looks like turkeytail on that stump. Boil those up and drink the tea. It'll knock out a cold in a day. I like to simmer in a crockpot for two days on high and freeze the tea in freezer bags. Bust one out if I feel like I'm getting sick. Works every time.
Hay I love your videos & reading about you in the magazine Back woodsman . I want to get a Kelly kettle . Good tool to have to cook with. 👍good job.
Reminds me of when I was a kid. My stepdad told me to come downstairs to the outside. He had a huge beaver without a head on a big stick. He said he was waiting for a few hours and the beaver stuck his head out of the water. Blew the whole head right off lol. Now we use traps. Allot easier then waiting for that perfect shot.
Caught my first beaver on Christmas morning, was a good day.
You should try the Roast meat above the beavers tail Dave .About 9 inches of good red meat and leaving about 4 inches of actual tail.Good stuff
Very nice 👍🏻👍🏻
Cool setup, never had beaver, but it’s probably just as good as all the others I have tried.
One day I'd like to come up and take one of your classes.
Nice outdoor cook kit!
Great video! I like the guitar rendishen of let it shine at the beginning of your video. 😀
Gotta be crazy not enjoying some good beaver !
This looks like a great option for a hunter or hiker whos on the go!
Thanks for the kit review.
I added a rigid handle to the back of mine to make pouring easier. It would be nice if it came with swivel handles like on the Kelly kettle cups. Otherwise a nice piece of kit.
I bought the med. One, I love mine, I plan on wearing it out to
That's a sweet looking setup! Gonna have to get me 1 of those
I love my KK Trekker. Good choice Dave.
Appriciate all you have taught me everything has been affective trapping almost 3 years aint missed a meal yet David
Very good. Thank you very much
LOVE that pack!
Happy New Year...
Hey Dave, with some tending it would probably take the chill off inside of a shelter. Think so? :>)>
I like my base camp model
If that kk was bigger I'd buy one and turn it into a still.
Another Storm Kettle maker in the UK has a over 5 litre/9 pint version. Eydon Kettle Co's Triple S. www.eydonkettle.com/the_triple_s_kettle.php
If want to go larger, there is New Zealand's 10 litre Thermette.
I like your style my friend
That's the smallest one in the series.
You might want to look at the base camp model.
You could Heat or cook stuff on top of it while the water is boiling :-)
Awesome kit
Who does the fabulous intro and video music?
its funny cuz this is the 4th time ive thought about something random u should do and within a week u make a video about it lol its awesome
You thought of Dave eating beaver?..................me too lol
My 2nd comment. Reminds me of a wranglerstar video.... very relaxing and peaceful
Thanks för sharing, very well explained advantages, very usefull
Cheers from Sweden
Cool song to go with the vid, Dave!
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
Cool new gadgets for camping season God Bless...….
Great video! Made me hungry. Definitely will check out your website.
Looks like a good outdoor cook system Dave beaver looked delicious.
Is Rufus your dog still with you
Happy new year
Dave, you said you were going to be looking into some bio stoves, if you have time would you review them, especially the ones you think suck?
Love you videos and as always thank you for the knowledge!
Is there a reason you processed the wood for the fire using your knife instead of the ax in your basket?
A Knife is a much more controlled and safe method for small kindlings that a 2 lbs axe
Thanks for the demo on the Kelly, I haven't seen it untill your video.That cooking system looks pretty awesome! Can you carry it with the water in it or do you fill it when you are going to use it?Bever meat to me is just as good or better than beef.
Hello: It looks to me like the fire box is a little small on the KK.
Hey Dave what is the notch in your blade? On the back near the tip? Just curious? Possible mod???
Was the turkey tail on that stump too far along for adding to your coffee? Just wondering...
hey, how long would a pack basket like that last under daily use? I have one, just never used it. My dad still has one from 30+ years ago from when he used to trap, except his is all broken from being in the shed for years and years. Stuff got thrown on it causing damage of course.
If I would oil mine up would it help it live alittle longer if I used it? They are pretty expensive for me but I bought mine at a flee market. The bottom was blown out in a corner but I put a piece of pine board and tied it up with raw hide. Fixing it up like new!
Also got any videos planned on firearms, Journal of the yurt "style"? I understand you're busy! Happy holidays from Canada!
You can put ALICE pack straps on a trash can and it works. That's what I use. Heck, I think Dave used to use one too.
Those are cool. I want one!
I love the idea of boiling water fast with little effort...I'm gonna get me on to test a theory... I personally believe that this is fast.
Did you season? Salt is needed always.
I'll stick with my SRO Woodland Chef Cook Kit (With Pack Grills).
Shall you use the fur and/or leather of the beaver for something...? What for ?
Thanks for the reveal Brian 78
To me taste like a cow made a baby with a rabbit and it grew up and I ate it.
Nutria is also good tastes the same.
Hey Dave, what does beaver meat taste like.
would not have to worry about over eating
Does it ever snow in Ohio? Sorry I base everyone else because I live in Yellowknife Canada
P.s will there be a pathfinder version in the future? Best wishes again 👍🏽👍🏽
What kind of mushrooms are those growing out of the stump you're cooking on?
