USGI MOLLE 200-rd "SAW" pouch is perfect for this stove. Available in multiple colors/camos, and the greyish USAF ABU units and the greyish Army UCP units can easily be dyed with common RIT dye. If desired, add 2 x 1" "D" rings to the PALS attachment straps on the back of the pouch and a shoulder strap.

A good and nice man sharing his love for fire and fire.

Best chili EVER! we typically we throw chopped-up stew meat in the chili, have some shredded cheese, and eat it over Marie Calendar's (sweet and soft) cornbread.

Ahh.I remember this stove when I served in the Swedish army back in the 80:s. We called it "snuskburken" (the filthy can) :D

I thought my Polish kit was big! That sucker is enormous

Blackie, I have the stainless version & keep the brass stove inside all the time naked & have never even seen the slightest amount of discoloration whatsoever. Maybe the alum. is different. BTW this is my go to setup for car camping.

Its a wonderful little army stove, the meal looks awesome, right now I am hungry :-) I have my trangia stove for more than four years and it never leaves me alone. The idea with the creek water is really good. A little tip from my side: you can use the windshield upside down down as a hobo stove with fire wood or when you put the stove in as a emergency tent heater. Cheers from Germany and thanks for the great Video! Btw in Germany it its mostly prohibited to have a fire in the Forrest so i use this little trusty stove over and over again :-)

The brass burner doesn't really cause any reaction with the pot but it does over time release some stored alcohol vapors into pot. The burners are old military surplus and have some old damp basement smell to it so you might want to wash burners then store it in a zip lock bag to isolate residual smell from burner.

Nice video! The two steel rings in the handle of the lid is for sticking a wood pin in to use as a long handle to use the lid as a frying pan over a camp fire

wtg Mrs Blackie. I love you and your women friends are out in the bush having fun! You're an inspiration to many women to just get out and do it! God bless, one & all

You are one heck of a guy Blackie!!! I'm absolutely sure that anyone that could spend a day with you in the good ole outdoors, would have a memory to remember always. That entire cook set is awesome, and a very perfect design for any camper. It is quality as I have one. You can cook a man's size meal in it. Thanks for the video my brother! Stay Strong!

I like your presentations. You can deep fry fish and chips in the main container of a sweedish mess kit

Thanks Blackie. I really enjoy your style of videos. Very common man and easy to understand. You are what DC used to be.

Great content, cannot wait to try my stove out this spring.

Ever since you told me about that Darn Good Chili at Walmart, it's a staple in my kit. Thanks again, I love it. I have tried them all lol.

Wow Blackie it looks like you eat better in the woods than most people do at home.

I had some left over steak fajita strips that had been grilled and dropped them in that chili...YUMMY. my freind dipped that chili out over her hash browns and fried eggs and grated cheese. To each their own...bagged chili....who knew. Lol

A good friend gave me his s/s Swedish cook kit some years ago. It has been used many times & is about the handiest cook set I've ever used.

Thanks Blackie ,I've been eating that chili over the fire for a couple of years now ,Great for backpacking .....or home use !!

Blackie... looks like a good little kit. How you find these things is amazing. I have tried several different kits over the years, but I keep going back to my old coffee can hobo stove. I can use several kinds of fuel with it: wood, twigs, pinecones, homemade alcohol stove, esbit cubes, etc. Ì have a couple of stove (coffee can) sizes depending on the size of the party. I have several fancy store bought cook pots to use but back in the day when I was young a d poor we just used another can or my surplus mess kit. Alcohol stoves can be made from just about anything - I like to use potted meet cans. The thing about the hobo stoves is the only last about a year or two if you use them a lot. They tend to rust. However, it only takes about 10 min to make one from a coffee can. lol My homemade alcohol stove is probably over 50 years old. Oh, yes, the hobo stove works best in bad weather with a wind shield. For that I just use a piece of aluminum stove pipe cut to size. Good video.... sometime I would love to see a video on the homemade kit items you came up with as a kid to go camping. Maybe I am getting old and nostalgic but I have almost completed the base kit my cousin, Judy, and I took with us on our many adventures. It only weighted about 20lbs for a two week summer trip. My grandkids are amazed that we could get by with so little. lol. Of course we fished and foraged a lot for about half our food. Blessings to you.... Later......

Mrs Blackie is a smart lady. I love mine

Like how quick and easy that set is to set up! Another good video Blackie!

I’ve got the same kit I️ paid a whopping $5.87 I’ve had it for over 25 years. Painted mine with the same stuff, Mine is Aluminum as well. It’s a great kit for outdoors, I just used it this weekend on an overnight Paddle boating down the Trinity River... Great video glad to see you out and about in the woods, keep up the good work.

Beautiful set you got there and great video as well. Love these outdoor videos that comes with no other sound but that from nature, the stove and a person who know how to relax and enjoy life. That chili looked really nice as well. Wish there where something similar here in Sweden.

Interesting. I have seen these Trangia windshield's only black anodised never OD-green. I know of only one OD-green wind shield, namely what I painted green myself For my stainless mess kit.

Great little set up. Looks really versatile. Thanks for sharing 👍

Nice demonstration!

Spot on, Mr. T

Great video. Interesting cook kit. I really like the trangia when backpacking. Bear creek makes a good potato soup as well

Great video Blackie. Very informative. God bless you and Mrs. Blackie. John

The very best you tube channel bar none!!

Finally got around to making some chili with the Swedish military pot and stove. Added a little Cumin and a bit of Garlic powder. Mmmm.

Hey Blackie! I like this mess kit a lot, but the regular burner is often too hot even with the simmer ring. I have found that a can of “chafing fuel” provides enough heat to simmer or keep food hot after getting a boil with the main burner.

If you can find the stainless cookset you will pay a small fortune nowdays. A good friend gave me one of his about 10 years ago & I have made good use of it. Stainless is the way to go.

Nice.

another good video thanks for taking the time to do this one.

i had one of these mess kits for a couple of years. I liked it, but the oval shape and inability to to use the "lid" while the bail was up finally got me to pull the trigger on a zebra pot. no way I'll be getting rid of it though. super light, tough and a great design.

I'm going to have to try that chili!

Great video

I really enjoyed this. That's because I have never been a fan of alcohol stoves. But then my experience of them has mostly been restricted to those I have made out of tin cans! For myself, for this kind of cooking my Jetboil works very well given the fuel limitations. For myself, the multifuel options from stoves from the likes of MSR and Coleman have been like a godsend over the years. As with all things each to their own. Thank you for the video, I will consider the possibilities of this kind of stove with new eyes. :-)

Good looking kit

MOST of the time - it's not practical to cook on a fire. Sure if you sit around in an established camp, that's a way to pass excess time, but ever so often the day is full of enough other work that it's not really so feasible ...

blackie great video you should try the other bear creek soups I carry three in my pack when elk hunting or deer hunting they taste good when your up to your butt in snow and cold

Great piece of kit Blackie, l have one in stainless steel that I have used for several years. I noticed your pot doesn't have the curved wire hook on the bail, never seen one without it before.

Good video. I just looked up the Chili and it's ingredients. It doesn't contain any meat.

👍

Trangia have civil version that's round. It's great too, and better suited for couples

Thomas, do you know how to season aluminium pots like your trangia stove ?. I think its not safe to cook acidic foods in aluminium.

Many times here in Colorado we can't have open fires either. We can use a bushbox type of stove. If you stuff it with wood, it will put out a small amount of flame. It's a poor substitute for a campfire, but we do what we have too. Blackie, what do you think of the Boy Scouts letting girls join?

Hmmm, bought 5/6 mess tins in this German/Swedish style from different countries over a year ago and they haven't made it onto the kit list. Just keep using the kit I'm used to. Will have to try them out in the future, might be that one piece of kit I never knew I needed till I tried it.

i like it

That's is some good looking stick to your ribs chili!

Around here we call mixtures BY GUYS as Gumper that covers a broad range of Batchaler Chow !!-!!

That brand has a potatoe soup too and it's pretty good.

Tarnish toward each other, LOL, or galvanic reaction whatever. Just words, enjoy your videos!!

Hey Mr. Blackie, how does that paint hold up when you are cooking over fire? I got some to spray paint one of my mess kits. That chili looks good. Thanks for sharing

Is it ok to use isopropyl alcohol instead of metholated?

At 10.10 is that a 58 pattern water bottle behind/over your left shoulder?

I'm curious Blackie. Have you ever used a smooth flat rock to cook on? If you have, do you have a vid on it?

Does anyone know a good site I can buy one?

If the Swedes don't use the M40 anymore what do they use?

Have You tried any of the firebox stoves ? They ( Steve ) makes AWWOOSOM ( NOT A REAL WORD , BUT YOU know what I mean ) FOON TONGS ( ASK FOR THEM BY NAME )

Those Swedish mess kits w stove aren't so cheap now.

Can we see some vids of thr ladies camp

Link to the chili please,sir.

Great information, WAY to much Tomato paste for my taste, but great overall

Metal on alloy not a good idea plastic utensil does work

like your twang

What brand of chilli

Hey does Mrs Blackie have her own channel????
