    • @RedswedeOutdoors
      @RedswedeOutdoors  4 роки тому

      Danke schön! I'm starting to get rather fond of the lit too. I guess that it wouldn't be to hard to modify the kit to facilitate a gasburner and that will shorten the time it takes to cook lots of glögg in it. :) Cheers!

      @@RedswedeOutdoors I used 2 tentstakes, drilled 4 holes and thats it. So you can snap in the gasburner. In the bottom from the stove I drilled 4 bigger holes and put screws in, so I have a little space to the bottom from the pot. Its for the airflow. Works better than without the space.

    Man you’ve made me hungry at 4:30 am 🤣 time for some eggs 🍳 and bacon 🥓 and I’ve subscribed. I lost my sense of smell after getting COVID and though my smell returned after a few weeks, unfortunately it has changed some of my sense of smell. Coffee ☕️ smells the same as poo wee body odour, car fumes, deodorant chocolate 🍫 aftershave and many other things have the same smell. I’m fearful it is permanent. That was last December 21 (my birthday) and nothing has changed. But I am happy I am alive and can still smell other things. Anyway I am so happy I’ve discovered your channel.

    • @RedswedeOutdoors

      Thank you Daniel. If you're going for this mess kit I would strongly advice you to make sure it's in stainless steel and not aluminium, since some of those kits are substandard. The pots are leaking aluminium in to your food and drink.
      As for the Covid I'm mostly recovered. No headaches and just the nasty smells are numb. Cheers!

      Det är begagnatmarknaden som gäller, ebay o blocket eller liknande. Mitt tips är att läsa noga, såg en gynnare som ville ha 1200 kronor för ett slitet exemplar utan brännare och vindskydd... finns även Facebook grupper som handlar om m40 där annonser dyker upp ibland.

    pathfinder now makes ,they call it the m40 ,it's a stainless steel m44 like yours here !
    i don't use aluminium or titanium ( titanium might be great ,I just don't want the be the tester ) stainless ain't that much heavier ! I would have bought the m44 years ago, if it was stainless steel great wind blocking cooker !

    • @RedswedeOutdoors
      @RedswedeOutdoors  Рік тому

      Yep, the m40 was the stainless precursor before it became to expensive and they replaced it with aluminium halfway through WWII. I still think both the vintage and the newly produced are overpriced but I guess it's up to every buyer to decide for themself. It's not a bad kit but it can't really match the hype surrounding it.
