Although not designed to cook on from what I remember about them, these kits ended up being a favorite to many. I've cooked on mine plenty with good results. These days I try to figure out the most nonstick meals to cook, makes cleaning up go better.

I have the Polish kit and it's very sturdy.

Dirt don't hurt!!

Say chowder Frenchy

I would have drained the chicken before adding it to the soup, That may have been enough to leave the room you needed to add the rest.

How long does a tank of fuel last?

This video is so cool! I literally found a 413D on the side of the road next to an old Little Buddy Heater. I mistook the stove for a 425 and could not find one online that looked like mine until I saw it was a 413D. It is a little beat up but I want to do exactly what you have going on in this video. Do they make high heat green and copper color paint? Think some fine steel wool might polish up the fuel tank instead? Any tips or afterthoughts would be appreciated. Awesome looking restoration and I am sure it will receive complements every time you use it.

Nice restore on that one and great cooking footage. It's completely normal for those valve packings to leak and need adjustment. You shouldn't need to replace them if they seal with a little turn of a wrench, but I don't know how hard it was to turn. Sucks that it ruined the paint job. But packings are made to be tightened as needed. I did notice you had a leak at the gas tip/mixing chamber. There was some yellow flame at 7:53 when you started cutting onions. Again, it's not unusual after are refurb to tune them up after the first burn either. When I was refurbishing a lot of these stoves and lanterns years ago, I ran across Key Graphite Paste. Perfect for sealing stuff that gets really hot like generator tips.

Blackie Thomas has done a video on this cook kit. The first kits were made of Al. During WW2, Al was at a premium, so the BSA started making the kits from galvanized steel so as to save the Al for the war effort.

Did the French sell materiel to the IDF? [6:33] Oh hell yeah. They sold Dassault Jet bombers [Ouregons] and Fighters [Mysteres] and a lot of other stuff. I 've seen photos of Isreali soldiers packing the 1-1/2 Qt French canteens too. Deniability could be a reasson not to have French Army markings stamped. There was a riff in Franco/Israeli relations, at which point IAI made bootleg copies of the Mystere fighter. They actually improved it.

73 to you! -kc8kbk

All that work. Percalate it

Buying one; I wish it had more of a closer mesh grill vs a pot stand. Still glad to have it though.

Hi John, The cup's measuring line is about 8 oz in US Customary Measures. [6:06]. My theory is that that's the soldier's daily wine ration. French Army is big on having their Wine. I have three of these now. And I bought more Canteen cups sold by Sportsmans Guide as Belgian Army surplus. Which may have been true, but the manufacturer's mark on the bottoms were all PUR-ALU. NORD. Nord was a French aircraft manufacturer, builders of the Nord Noratlas transport. [A French-built Flying Boxcar type transport, used by Armee del Aire, W. German Luftwaffe, Israeli AF , and Greek AF. in its day.] I have three covers, too. One is Olive Green like yours, the other two are later ''Lizard Camo'' -- three toned woodland-like pattern. The olive one, I bought in late '70s or early '80s and it had some Sharpie Pen art on the cover. A phoenix or eagle in black ink was rising out of a Fire in red ink, and the smoke lines made ghostly SS Runes. I snapped it up at the local surplus store. When I got it home, I showed it to my Mom, mentioning that it could have belonged to a French Foreign Legionaire at Dien Bien Phu. The Legion ''sheepdipped''a lot of ex-Nazis and deployed them in Indochina. I left it in the kitchen to soak in some good water. I found the cover, days later, its art work washed out. Fearing disease-ridden South East Asian microbes or German germs -- she had bleached it. A name <<SERGE'>> in India ink did not wash out. Not sure if that was a rank or a guy's name? The covers have a bent wire clip that will attach to the WWII USGI Pistol Belt grommets. Also the wide loop slides on european pistol belts. The bakelite cap is its weak point. I acquired a Chinese copy of the French Bluet [Esbit] hexamine cooker. Very low to the ground. It will fit under the Cup and Canteen in the Lizard covers with double snap sets. Capacity is about 1-1/2 Quart.[US].

Great bag. My one was made in 74 (according to the ticket floating inside) the internal pockets didn't have snaps though. had a string loop style fastener

I got one in great if not new condition but could never find a new canteen to go with it. The one I got has a crack in the rubber seal and it bugs me.

Thanks for the video John.

Best method for cooking buckwheat I've come up with so far: 1:1.5 grain:water ratio. Fast boil for fiveish minutes lid on. Low enough that it doesn't try to burn to the bottom, hot enough it bubbles of rolls really good. Kill the heat, insulate pot as much as possible (blanket, reflectix bubble wrap, whatever just don't melt your sleeping bag trying this) Let sit for 30min. Works for rice (1:1.75 water for white) etc too. Saves you fuel and it comes out as perfectly as if you did it in a rice cooker.

John, I think more needs to be said about the M84 canteen. I have two of these. They are very nice, strong and solid. It's a pity that there are no factory lids for the aluminum cups of these canteens. Aluminum foil is fine in a home kitchen, but in the forest the wind tears the foil off the cup. There must be a solid lid for cooking in these cups. You will never find out what plastic these black M84 bottles were made of. My own research on burning a piece of plastic shows that it is some kind of polyethylene (HDPE?). Surprisingly, the M84 bottle can easily withstand being filled with boiling water (100 degrees C) and, when tightly screwed on, it remains tight in any position. However, for me the M84 bottles are not suitable for use with pleasure. These bottles don't smell, they just smell terribly of some kind of chemicals (although I scrubbed and rinsed the bottles with large amounts of water dozens of times). Also, water kept in these bottles for half an hour or more acquires a disgusting taste (BPA?? Probably something else; BPA itself does not smell so noticeably). I DO NOT RECOMMEND these bottles for frequent use 😕

Thanks John for the info. I have one of the 1930's to 40's kits, (888) on the fry pan made by Wearever, but none of the pots or fry pan has the boy scout emblem on them. The cover has a plain snap but also has two flaps on the inside that also snap together. Again no BSA markings on the cover. I also have one of the steel ones but with no cover. I love that fry pan, very heavy duty.

Love mine. I have 4. They're grey. PSL88

More information about the soviet obr.36 messkits. They used a variety of bales including ones similar to the German ww2 and NVA ones on pre and wartime models and into post ww2 production. the brownish paint seen on the example shown here was only used post ww2, ww2 models used a much greener paint and grey paints or no paint at all. The information about Soviets not attaching their messkits to their haversack is not entirely true, however the messkit was designed to be placed into a cover with loops sewn into and them it was attached via equipment straps to the ranyets rioksak (obr.36 haversack). However this practice was only done pre/early ww2 and the reemergence of the myeshok haversack meant they stored it in the bag itself.

How long to simmer the buckwheat?

Was looking pretty good until the cheese showed up. NO to cheese please

Got issued in legion etrangere with this 1981,I served in UK infantry before never understood why British military used to have plastic bottle and cup

Teil 1 und Teil 2 kenne ich auch noch . Es war gut verarbeitet .

The m32 looks perfect for spirits if you're going camping with some friends for the night, and the little mug is so you can keep it civilised!

Cool thanks mate

I just rewatched this video because I recently got the 1940 canteen. Mine is a little more used 😊

It's a 40's aluminum was needed during WW2

Mi favorito fue el cinturon ojala ubieras ablado mas sobre el

This design of water bottle and carrier is not easily accessible. Is that deliberate ? I've read that some armies had a 'procedure' where things such as drinking could only be done when ordered etc. or it's to stop soldiers taking a drink when they should be paying attention to their surroundings etc. Or maybe it's just bad design ! It's going to bounce about a lot and make a lot of noise as well ! Adrian: UK/England

The Self Reliance Outfitters school has a NEW Swedish mess kit (Stove is extra I think) that is stainless steel and cost $59.00 or so... (And a bunch of other stuff up your alley!)

I love these mess kits, thanks

I looked through your videos, but didn't see where you'd done one on the pre-war canteen. I'd like to know more about that one

i have a 70's aluminum one, aweome you found a steel set.

😃😃😃😃😃😃

😃😃😃😃😃😃

😊

Nice! I found an old 1960's (I reckon) model, at a local antique store for $24 ! Near perfect condition.

Mr Sherwood, I love your lantern, I have an 02-75 just like it! It was my parents & set me off on collecting coleman lanterns. I also wanted to say I took my xiegu g90 out to a park yesterday & had my first pota activation. Your ham radio videos piqued my interest in that rig, more so than many other videos specifically about that rig! Keep up the good work, I enjoy your videos & I also appreciate how your interests on your about page align right down the list with mine. I do prefer a canoe though. 😊

these packs are designed for children, will not work for an adult

The side pouch is perfect for an M71 Swiss emergency cooker.

Nice video John, Good to see you back in the woods. That breakfast burrito looks really tasty man. Keep up the awesome work

Very good video. Thanks.

What I wouldn't give to be able to make my dad dinner over the fire still. God bless you and anyone reading this..

Thank you Sir for a wonderful video and I always carry some butter so that I can fry my spam and then my eggs also it keeps things from sticking and I carry my salt and pepper along with it. God bless you and anyone reading this from Detroit Mich...

I love the East German mess kit
