You are welcome

It should come with a warning ⚠️ Stay safe

Thanks, glad you liked it. I have more...

They are from a company called "light my fire" and called "Pack-up-Cup BIO 2 Pack - Mug" Hope that helps

You may want to drop two burners in it as it will help if you intend to boil larger amounts of water. Good luck with the trip and let us know how it went.

Fire rope is probably better as it doesn't shrink like carbon felt does. Thanks for taking the time to comment

The carbon felt acts as a wick. Ot shrinks after a few burns but doesn't need to be replaced. Any non flammable material can be used. Glass fibre loft insulation was popular some time ago but I have never tried it. Hope that helps.

If you have alcohol in a container WITHOUT some sort of wick the alcohol will boil and spit small drops out of the container which will cause the whole thing to overheat and erupt into a fireball. A wick of any type prevents this from happening.

I got the rack from Ebay. I had hoped that it would fit my smaller trangia mess tin but it's a tiny bit too big. As you can see it's a bit too small for my larger Larken (nolonger available) mess tin. These racks are sold alongside copies of trangia mess tins so search for something like "lunch box rack" and check the size carefully. Thanks for the crumpling trick. Got to give that a go.

@@EpicureanHikers Nice one. Thanks for getting back. I'll have a look...

Definitely brown sugar. It's the best.

Thanks

V60 is a type of coffee filter that has a lot of pretentious techniques around it. To be fair it does take a bit of skill to get a decent cup out of it. I picked the sealer up from Ebay. Lots of similar ones are available. It was under £10. Search for "Mini Bag Sealer 2 in 1 Heat Sealer Cutter Handheld Bag Sealing Machine" takes a bit of practice. Good luck

I didn't realise they could be sealed at first. When I did it was a game changer

@@EpicureanHikers Just ordered some. Can't beat a good coffee outdoors, and I can't be asked to take my Aeropress with me. Atb Mally

Cooked this way the cake is moist and very sweet. If you keep the cake above the water on a rack it doesn't matter what you use, parchment or foil. Thanks for commenting

Sea to Summit. I did see one on a website, will post link in the description, in a pack of stuff called "Kitchen Bits." I picked it up decades ago so it doesn't look as if it's still available but you may find old stock somewhere. Hope that is of help.

@@EpicureanHikers haha damn it! I am in the States now, but was hiking the Te Araroa a few months ago and went by a ton of Bivouac stores. Thanks!

It is. One of my favourites to have on a day hike in late autumn. Thanks for commenting

Thank you for your comment. It's always fun to use something you have made yourself and the trangia burner is a classic for good reason.

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it

Yes. The cylinder is from a gas lantern. Most of these lanterns fit standard gas cylinders. Some offer a small cylinder as an optional extra that has the same valve as a standard gas cylinder. A company called Camping Moon sells a larger cylinders that holds something like 35g of gas as well as smaller ones like the one I picked up that holds 15g. I like the concept but didn't like the high cost of Camping Moons products so picked up the one in the video for about £15. Unfortunately it's no longer available but others of the same volume are out there and can be found with a bit of searching. I hope that answers your question if not please ask again.

The gas lantern cylinder is removable for filling. Also the lantern can be attached to a standard cylinder as shown at the beginning of the video.

It's quite heavy compared to an equivalent alcohol setup such as this th-cam.com/video/0UsuS68DJ8U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=b8RE3CyASDzDc6Gz but is admittedly quite cool. Haven't seen many videos about them outside of Japan. Better still put together both!

@EpicureanHikers true. But I do like the guarantee of more control for the simmering element. Having said that, I genuinely LOVE the other set up for a quick boil up!

I'll just leave this here... th-cam.com/video/r5O3OTJZeoU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fiE6YIQ6YKbhbaBZ

@@EpicureanHikers ♥️

Thank you for your kind words. They are much appreciated. May the Lord bless you and keep you.

That would work. Nothing wrong with just filling the tray with felt. Thanks foe taking the time to comment

I left both Opinel #9 and #6 at home. Thankfully I had an mini Victorinox Alox. I chuckle everything I use the ridiculous grater but it's OK for small stuff like garlic or ginger. It came with a bunch of other stuff so I feel obliged to use it. Thanks for comment.

th-cam.com/video/IeBzgwJJPd4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Aerm8odnneoz2klh Sorry about that. Thanks for bringing it to my attention

@@EpicureanHikers many thanks for the link. Another great bit of ingenuity!

I wouldn't say ingenious...after seeing this one th-cam.com/video/RLy75dTe30M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GxcwaaKnJyzuLQ3y Expensive but so cool.

@@EpicureanHikers personally I prefer the homemade version, recycled items and the thought that went behind it. Regards Broadlander

If I could I'd eat the lot. 😁 Sorry about that.

The smaller the stove = less heat. Sometimes less heat is better. We tend to prepare for the most extreme weather which we rarely experience. I started making these little stoves as a backup to my main stove so that if everything went pear shaped I'd be able to get a hot beverage or something. After using them in day hikes they are my main goto for day hikes. With careful choice of ingredients and recipes it's surprising what you can do with a simple setup like this. I'm still having fun with this concept but will rely on my canister stove for multi day hikes and use these as a backup. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

Thanks. I'm quite busy at the moment so the next one will not be for a week or two unless I get a few moments to myself. Sorry about that. Thanks for taking the time to comment

@@EpicureanHikers good luck with the video!

th-cam.com/video/5bkrmSWYGRc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=G9QJ0rsLVtNGurEl Finally finished it.

Tomshco titanium 300ml Probably lots of different badges on the same design.

I'd recommend making from cardboard first. Assembly can be difficult so see how I put one together. I assemble one of the "legs" onto the plate first then the second leg. First time you try you will see what I mean.

@@EpicureanHikers Thank you so much.

Sorry for taking so long to reply. Your comment has been held for review and I have only just now noticed it. The diameter is 45mm

@@EpicureanHikers thank you!

Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to comment

I do that as well. Usually after a heatwave when everything is bone dry which increases the risk of starting a fire. Thanks for the comment

I'm told that I have deep pockets and short arms. Hope that helps.

Thaks for watching

Thanks

The pot stand works quite well. Over the years I have tried all sorts of pot stands and have settled on this.

@@EpicureanHikershow can we make this pot stand? Tutorial?

@user-iz4qj4ku7j Just spotted your comment. The pit stand has been featured in a few of my videos but I intend to do a sort of tutorial with a few templates as a guide.

​@EpicureanHikers yes, pls. That would be so awesome

@Tom_Bee_ Will post a video soon with some drawings. Busy month for me but will make them accessible soon

Thanks.

Thank you.

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

Butterbeans would work I'm sure. Good suggestion. I'll give it a go later in the year when the weather gets a bit cooler. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching

Thanks

It was a travel deodorant or shaving gell. Details here th-cam.com/video/r5O3OTJZeoU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3tXl8Vnj79EjySTG Thanks for watching.

Two very solid suggestions. Chilli works well as does onion. As is, they work well on a multi day hike but can be thought of as a blank canvas that you can add onion, cheese, paprika, chilli, garlic and anything else you can think of. Not necessarily all at the same time! Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts.

The bcb makes a good basis for a stove. More details here th-cam.com/video/_7xA6vMoksM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ljTwUF0ouh7RNTWP Thanks for stopping by and commenting

Thanks. I am glad you like it. Let me know how you get on.

Thanks mate
