It is not made for people sitting at a camp site, it is made for distance hikers. You get up in the morning, cook breakfast as well as your lunch, then hours later you can stop and eat with no fuss. It is made to save cooking time, cook one big meal and carry half of it for later.

I agree on a 5 day canoe trip each breakfast you get the fire going for coffee anyways. its convienent to have dished stowed already holding your cooked lunch.

When I'm hunting from base camp, hiking out a mile or more planning to spend the day at my stand, perfect. Cook up grub at camp, go to the stand and have a hot lunch to tide you through till back at camp. Love it.

"Thermal cooking is awesome" Most people just completely missed this point - with the exception of Silhouette Park Farm. This Stanley Cooking System (not food system) is very energy efficient (always a bonus when living off grid). Just bring contents to boil and then seal in the vacuum flask to slow cook until required. Wake up to a hot breakfast, or prepare an evening stew earlier in the day. Would I use it for hiking/back-packing? No I agree with Donny here, but would I use it at base camp or in my vehicle? Yes, definitely
@Readymagazine7 жыл бұрын
I have a theory. If you are on a multi-day trip and you want to have a hot meal at lunch you can prep the meal while you make breakfast, seal it up and have lunch when the time comes. That makes sense to me and I think it would be welcome if you like cool weather camping. Thanks for another great review.

Ever hear of thermal cooking? Bring water to the boil. Pour into the vacuum bottles Bring temperature of vacuum bottle up. Then start to cook a meal in pan that requires an hour or so of cooking. Pour out hot water and pour in simmering food, cap it off and food will continue to cook in this device. This work for foods such as stews and whole oats. Look up Shuttle Chef. My guess is that this device is designed to do the same thing at a fraction of the cost and without the bulk.

If you pour water from your Nalgene bottle you will know how many ounces of water you pour into the cup. I have Type 1 Diabetes and I have to keep food in me if I'm hiking, I'd totally use this just like you said, I'd cook my meal in camp and put a second meal in the thermos for a second meal while out on the trail later or cook it at home and take it with me in my day pack. I wouldn't take it for bushcraft but I am a big hiker and this totally fits the bill for me runnin around in Red River Gorge in my home state of Kentucky.

A good use for this would be as a "luxury/(heavy) item" for an ultralight backpacking scenario with multiple full days worth of walking and no time to set up a quick camp. I don't recommend using the vacuum container on the fire because it's probably a double wall which is dangerous to heat directly.
@tompain95867 жыл бұрын
The idea is heat the water, put your dehydrated food in the thermos and add the hot water. The thermos contains the heat and cooks the food while not wasting fuel. "Mountain" is in the name because water evaporates at altitude and wastes huge amounts of heat/ fuel.

@Phantom8Bit6 жыл бұрын
As one other comment mentioned, there is such a thing as thermal cooking. If you boil extra water during a meal, you can put the ingredients for your next meal in the container along with the right amount of hot water, and it will cook your next meal as you hike or sleep. For backpacking, it makes for quicker/easier lunch breaks, or lets you pack up faster in the morning. It works pretty well, you still get a hot meal but without having to take the time to cook it. However, you can purchase much lighter containers that are the exact size you need for that purpose. The Stanley looks huge and all that extra plastic adds unnecessary weight.

I ment to add i was reading a older hunting book on moose hunting (Jack Oconner) I think and he said to his woods guide it was time for coffee the guide thought it would be to hard to make coffee in the rain and wet woods. Well the hunter pulled a thermos of hot coffee out of his pak and they had a cup of coffee. The Indian guide looked the thermos all over and Jack explained it would keep things hot and cold. The guide looked at Jack and asked how does it know. Jack gave him the thermos as a tip t the end of the hunt some 20 years later Jack went back and the guide was still careing the same thermos

I think a food thermos is a good alternative to bringing 2 stoves. Then i can boil enough water for maybe some rice and gravy, before i add it all to the food thermos, shake it up really good, and let it prepare itself, while i have the stove free to cook meat. Of course you can just make the meat and rice first, and heat it up in the gravy, but this will take a lot longer than if you can prepare it all simultaneously.

One could boil water for breakfast, plus enough to cook a freeze-dried meal, put the freeze-dried meal (plus boiling water) into the thermos, then eat breakfast, break camp, start hiking, and enjoy a hot lunch on a cold day on the trail with no need to break out the stove. Just sit down, open the thermos, eat, and get back on the trail. Whether the convenience justifies the weight is someone else's call. Just my two cents...

Bring your hot coffee ready to go in the thermos, drink it all morning. Rinse out the thermos at lunchtime. Then use the pot to heat up water to make something like hot noodle soup in the thermos. Thermos keeps it hot while you're eating. Too bad the lining of the lid of the thermos is plastic, otherwise, it could have been used as a lid for the pot. If it was silicone, it would have been fine. I don't know if this needed a "wtf" though.

You can use this setup to actually cook meals, not too warm expensive rehydrated meals. The first thing I was making, chicken noodle soup with two eggs dropped In.

During my conscription service we got issued a 1,2l food/drink thermos so that on the field exercises if needed, we could get given our meals straight in to our thermoses and then continue in to the "operation area", and enjoy our hot meals without the need for the cumbersome food logistics to follow up during an offense or anything. Another use for a thermos system like in the video could be to fill it with hot water at a basecamp, then use the hot water for a trekking meal and while waiting for the trekking meal to get good, boil more water in the pot. This way you would make the whole process a lot faster. We did that in our NCO training with our trangias and thermoses, (Although usually we carried one trangia per 3 soldiers, 1 person carried trangia and 2 persons had extra fuel for it.) when we were eating trekking meals that we got in our combat rations. So, I could in a way see this as a one mans substitute for the thermos/trangia combination that we carried. Just add a small gas stove and you'd be ready to rock!

If you're heading to the duck blind or deer stand for the day it's a good way to take your lunch and have hot, instant coffee/hot chocolate, etc. (keep the powder in the storage in the cap you showed) to go with your hot soup or stew and that's about it. To serve as a multi-purpose camp/bushcraft kit, I fully agree. No bueno. That said, seems stout and will probably serve it's purpose for a long time.

Why not just use a regular thermos? Why would you need to bring a pot with you to a deer stand. The question being asked is, "why is this a system that makes sense?"

So I have lots of different set ups and use this one as my backpack set up. But your are correct on many items. What I do is only use the pot to boil water or else it’s makes everything dirty and messy when you put the dirty pot back over thermos. Boil the water when you have time pour into the thermos with your dehydrated meal. Then continue on while it cooks your meal then when ready stop and eat. Also I only put food only in the thermos so the cup is always clean for a drink and tea bags go in the storage spot. The pot works good over the fire or stove. I tossed the spork in place for a long handle one

when I buy ready to make meals like mountain house, or mountain aire, I try to get the larger "two portion" size. One, because I may be making a meal for my wife and me while on an outing. 2nd and most important, if I'm trying to be highly mobile like in a SHTF situation, now I only have to stop one time to prepare my meal, I get to stash the second half in the thermos to eat a second warm meal later as i stay on the move. I have the other Stanley cook sets as well and couldn't believe my good luck when I found this new kit. I agree, Volume marks like on their other kits would have been helpful, but it's Dremel time till that day. Also that handle does get too hot on an open flame to touch bare handed.

For the folks that are interested in classic camping, Steve Watts, this is a great piece of kit. Also for those that are interested in slow cooking style meals using thermos or hay ovens this is a great durable product from Stanley. Not really good for a day hike as would a small alcohol stove with a cup would be. Bush craft cooking I have seen uses open camp fires going for hours. This kit is better suited where you want to conserve fuel. I would get one but I have an Esbit vacuum jar, and prefer a stainless pot.

I totally agree with how this would be used and maybe for kids to take to cubs scout camping trips.

Tree, land, or duck hunting blind with provided warm food and drink. Can put between legs to keep warm, and as a hand warmer.

It's a prototype. Would be cool to see an all in 1 system you can cook with and store as well and a bowl and pan that fit in an enclosing foldable structure would be great for hiker/backpacker/all.

a lot of hikers when they stopped for lunch like to take all the dry ingredients for their dinner and throw it into a freezer bag with hot water and then put it into a insulated pouch then throw it back in their pack so at the end of the day when they're done hating their dinner is already done I see this being useful in that kind of situation just throw your ingredients in it was some hot water and then by the time you stop for your next meal it's ready to eat and hot

I could see it being of good use for winter hiking/camping.

Thanks for making this video. 6 years ago when you made it, for seeing today’s political and world turmoil was harder. You day pack idea is excellent. My need will be for a more dire situation. I looking for something similar to store a warm meal if you need to be on the move. The idea is to cook once and eat twice. Peace

Can't you use the top for a lid for the cooking pot? Looks to me that it may fit for a lid?

Maybe for the work place, or a picnic. Just not for camping, bushcraft, or the bug-out bag.

I have used this to keep coffee warm/hot so as not to have to fire up my stove when I wanted more the one cup

So, while on a stupor from plenty of sailor jerry, diet coke and fresh squeezed lemon juice, I have to ask... What about using an engraver to mark the inside for oz or other measurements? Trust me, I feel you on the lack of markings. That being said, you recommended it not be used by bush crafters... With (legitimate) all due respect, part of being a bush crafter is holding the "can do" approach in high regard, you know, "adapt and overcome" mentality? If anyone can make AWESOME use of this, its a prepper or bush crafter. That being said, being an IT engineer, I would totally have this in my office, but also love using it in the great semi-outdoors. lol. Hope you are well, thanks for the heads up on the equipment (didnt know it existed).

You mentioned you didn't know how many ounces it holds/cooks. It's a 20 0unce vacuum container and 20 0unce cook pot, it is printed on the bottom of both container bottoms, both the vacuum insulated bottle and the cook pot are clearly labeled with product information. It is likely printed on both bottoms because with use the cook pot bottom with darken (carbon black) so the information is redundant on the vacuum bottle bottom.The biggest difference in information given is that the cook pot is dishwasher safe, the thermos is hand clean only. The thermos seal plug has a small dry storage area for spices and such on top of it, the green rubber rim pulls up. Hope this helps and have a good day.

Danny-seems to me it would be nice to carry meat to the woods and hold it for 10-15 hours, if frozen. So you could have fresh meat the following day.. Bob

What would make sense to me, is that during a hike or hunt prepare meal out in the "woods" in the removable boiling container. Then place contents into thermos to be consumed over a multi hour period/ not all at once.

Because of weight, I had a similar thought. A hunter working from a base camp where there is a fire or a wood stove. Take a hot lunch along to the tree stand or blind. Or if they want an early start, fix supper and then cook breakfast oatmeal or whatever and have a hot breakfast perhaps cooking that lunch while you finish the oatmeal. But the idea is someone who is not walking around or staying in one place all day but has two stationary locations and at least one location where a fire or stove would be inconvenient or give away your position.
