It's awesome that your family gifts you things you actually want. It's also awesome that you have videos showing you using the gifts. Those are really nice.
Great video, thanks. When you said, "You're going to hear search and rescue come over, it seems to happen every time I come out" my first thought was, "Mark, you need to tell your wife where you're going." Thanks for the laugh.
@@MarkYoungBushcraft Mark, I just watched your video on your water purifier! Sounds good but I would REALLY like to see you do a comparison on that one you just did for us verses The Sawyer Drip or Squise!
Wow, just about the time I think you have reached a professional and interest level high, you top it. This one hit a sweet spot with me. Hit an area I've needed. Best one yet my friend. When it comes to professional, interesting, and informative, the others are all chasing you.
I have a fair amount of the X-series stuff, my only complaint is that it seems to take on the smell of your food and drink no matter how hard you wash them.
Yes, the downside of silicone. Mine is doing okay but I rarely have meals that are likely to leave smells. Still, they have taken on some smells and have discoulored a but. Thanks for commenting
Nice cookset. I like their collapsibility. The silicone is very heat resistant and supports a large capacity. I also like the stainless pot. It has several nice features, but I would also be wary of damaging the plastic parts. And the fry pan is a winner in weight and performance.
The x series is really interesting. Us Lunenburgers call your meal pigs pudding, very yummy! It was a staple in our household growing up. Thanks for sharing all your interesting cook sets. :) :)
Yea! Mark is cooking again! Rats, Mark isn't cooking again....;-) I am very familiar with seasoning cast iron....how do you go about seasoning aluminum? Thanks for the video!
Couple of ways. Best I have seen is what Steve at Firebox Stove does. Can also apply a light coating of oil while on the heat, wipe it out, let it smoke, let cool, repeat. Builds up over time. Thanks for commenting
I love many of the sea to summit products. They make a quality product. I have the covered cup snd bowl set that live in my car cuz I use them as a doggie bag so that I am not bringing home food in styrofoam containers. Since they collapse and nest they fit easily in my purse along with a nylon shopping bag that folds up tiny in my purse. So not only use them for camping and hiking but for other things. Use them when I travel and need a bowl/plate in a hotel room and to keep items in the mini fridge. I have found the bowl doesn’t do great in a microwave tho. But I don’t use the microwave much anyway.
I remember seeing and commenting on the video where you showed your lovely gifts :) I personally prefer the stainless steel options AND items with lids ;)
Good morning Mark! Have you ever had a full cup (or any of the other products) collapse on you by accident? I’m pretty sure that would, sooner or later, happen to me. Pretty darn handy for space saving though.
I can't speak to others' experiences, but the sea to summit brand items are quite stiff and that seems unlikely. But, using a cheap Walmart knockoff I did collapse a cup when making pour over coffee. That works fine normally, just couldn't handle the weight of the device, coffee, and water (plus silicone is more pliable when heated).
I bough a dollar store version to see how they compared. The dollar store one is very poor quaility by comparison. I have never had an issue with the Sea to Summit stuff. Other than tipping it over by mistake. Thanks for commenting Jim
A good hard-anodized surface is the same chemical as a ruby. As long as it is undamaged by harsh chemicals or stainless scrub pads your cooked food will never be exposed to elemental aluminum.
I have not used the Sea to Summit product yet, but have a couple of collapsible bowels and cups from the $store that I keep in my carry bag with a water bottle for when I am walking my dog.
I love sea to summit products. Great show and tell.
I agree. Thanks for commenting

LOL... I think she may have hid a GPS tracer in my pack

Hi Jackie. My father was from the South Shore so blood (pigs) pudding and sauerkraut as somewhat of a staple with us. Thanks for commenting
I want to buy it. great!
Great bit of kit. Thanks for commenting

Such ideas! Thanks for the tips!

For sure. I can understand that. Thanks for commenting
I have the bowl and the same color cup, but the cup I got from Walmart. I like the green folding kettle.
Did not realize Walmart sold Sea to Summit. Thanks for commenting
@@MarkYoungBushcraft It looks the same, but it’s the Ozark Trail brand. I also have an Ozark Trail collapsible water bottle.

@@nvalley good to know, thanks. We'll be doing a family camp in august, and space will be at a premium, so I may look into a couple pieces.

@@MarkYoungBushcraft thanks mark. As I said, I may get some to save space this august.
I don't eat or cook with aluminum. I don't drink from aluminum cans. It is not safe. Is anodized aluminum safe to use?
No plastics??? I try but not always successful. Made my own beeswax wraps🐝I prefer glass♥️👍
yes it is. Thanks for commenting

I have some dollar store ones as well. You will find that the Sea to Summit stuff is much higher quality. Thanks for commenting
