In this video, I will show you my original Swedish M-40 mess kit, which I have used and loved for many years. It is the ideal size for one person on a camping trip, as it can cook a full meal for an adult and still fit easily in a rucksack. I will also compare it with the Pathfinder M-40 mess kit, which is a newer version of the same design. I will go through each part of the kit and explain how it can be used, as well as share a simple modification that I made to improve its performance. If you are looking for a reliable and versatile mess kit, you might want to check out the Swedish M-40. Thanks for watching and safe journeys to you!

4:59 It’s not just to hang off a horizontal branch over a fire, you can hook it into the latch on the front and in that way, pour liquid out without the mess tin swinging all over the place. Also you can put it in the latch after you’ve closed the clasp bit that’s on the lid, which prevents it opening and also keeps it firmly held in the wind guard, so DON’T take the hook off, it’s very, very handy!😩🤷‍♂️

Great video, tips&tricks. We lived w those during my military service in the late 80's in Sweden. One of the guy's learned the hard way not to let ones foxhole buddy refill the burner while it's hot, it turns into a rocket engine and shoots a jet of fire up to a meter (3 feet). He got hit straight on his ear and wore a bandage around his head for a week.

I recently got an unused Russian Mess Kit (pretty much the same as the M40) off ebay recently for less than $35. Now all I need to get is the post stand/wind screen as the Russian ones don't come with one. I also have a Swedisg one, which is pretty much the same design. They're pretty proud of the Swedish M40 as far as prices go these days.

@eskimo_airgunner2314 7 ай бұрын
@barryduckworth5224 30 years ago, I was on a hospital construction site, and there was a debate going on as to where the non-magnetic stainless electrical outlet plates had to be used and where the magnetic could be used. When you are buying thousands, by the case, the cost added up. O.R. areas and labs had to have them, but the offices and non-sterilized areas didn't have to have them. To me that meant the non-magnetic had better damp environment corrosion resistance. There was a slight color difference between the two. I believe it has to do with the chromium or hexavalent chromium 6 content.

Ingenious. I have almost all that stuff already. I could put that kit together tomorrow. I do not have the oval Swedish mess tin, though. I have a Swiss, East & West German, Hungarian, Early and Late Italian.mess tins. and a Swedish 'chimney'. I need to resolder the lid on my Swedish Crown Issue Svea spirit burrner so that guy's out, but the small Trangia burner [or clone] I can fit in the Wildo cup. The US GI VN Canteen Cup in SS or French aluminum butterfly cup, also fits US mid '40s metal canteens. [French one has indents in the sides to set a 2 finger wine ration level.] I use the Trangia pot gripper. For a grid over the 2 bales I have a 4.5'' square heat diffusser off a Soviet era Prymus PT-1 Touristnik [Opti 8R clone]. . I can set a US or allied canteen cup on it. I could add a lid for the canteen cup. KFS is covered. The whole works could fit into any European military bread bag.

The bail handle, pan handle, and rivets are all stainless steel for the aluminum pot and pan. You should never store alcohol in any aluminum container due to alcohol affinity to absorb water from the air and cause pitting to the aluminum if left inside for long term but any container that is made from HDPE will store alcohol forever just as the M40 kit has one issued with it.

I have been an avid user of my Swedish m40 since I found it at the local surplus store in 1999. Lately I have been thinking of retiring it in favor of the S.R.O stainless version, any thoughts or considerations.

Some stainless steel is non magnetic and the stoves have been made with a mix of materials or the surplus items have been mixed up to make a serviceable kit. Just nit picking good video as always thank you.

Block that front hole with your piece of aluminum foil. Done deal, no need to cut the windscreen.
