Wait! Hold up! You left your camera behind! 😃 Thanks for the thorough review! Regarding the handle-mounts, I wish Kelly Kettle would make a folding "double-D" handle like those found on many cups and pans, and this would make for a one-handed pour AND you could pick up the kettle without the comically complex two-handed ritual required to prevent your hand from being right above the chimney. I opted to get the Petromax iteration, as this has the folding "D" handles AND a threaded bung so that the kettle can serve to transport water in your pack.
Haha I know, I've lost so many cameras through this 🤪. That is a fab idea,I must admit, I've caught my hand a time or two with the way the handle is now. I really like that idea. Cheers for your comment matey 👍
Mine just arrived in the mail. Got the basecamp model "ultimate" kit, so it has the hobo stove, the cooking grate, pot, plates, cups, etc. I probably don't need all that for myself if I'm using my mess kit with the kettle, but I figured it would be good if I went camping with friends.
Hi Kez, fantastic! Yeah I did like that set too, great if like you say you were out with others. I would definitely put that to good use. Let me know what you think of it will you. Thanks for watching buddy and commenting, Ant 👍
Hi Snake, aww brilliant thank you very much! I try my hardest to chat to every subscriber that comment's as you guys are the ones that keep the channel alive! I really appreciate each and every one of you guys. Thanks you! Ant.
Hi Rick, yeah a beautiful place to visit matey. Yeah that's the plan, I wanna try and do them all and move up Scotland. It had a very remote feel this one mate from the drive in, to the paddle. Thanks buddy for watching
Yeah a lot of people did just that. They are so very easy to use, even damp fuel works although Tuesdays video which features the Kelly Kettle in a Vs match I did struggle keeping it light but that was due to larger pieces of fuel.
I have a Trekker model with the hobo stove and pot stand. I've used it car camping but I'm taking it on my next canoe trip. It is a bit bulky when numerous portages are involved but this upcoming trip only has one portage. so I thought I'd take it along. Most of my cooking is a fresh steak on the coals the first night, then my own dehydrated meals...maybe a breakfast of some eggs and bacon, but basic cooking requiring mostly just boiled water. Your video gave me some ideas. I subscribed. Cheers from Canada.
Hi Prospector, yeah, a smaller size that one too isn't it so you should gain a little space with that model then matey? I do get you though with tge portage, it's the bulky items you really get fed up with after a while on a trip but it all sounds like a great idea when your planning it at home in your chair haha! Sounds like the perfect trip though that mate, one portage! That would do haha but seriously though the places you have over there look amazing! One day I hope to get there buddy. I've just got into dehydrated meals on my channel so stay tuned for some ideas pal, and if you have any, please email me the recipe, and I'll be sure to shout you out!! Thanks so very much for the sub, I really appreciate it.
Thanks, great video. I've been using Kelly Kettles for years. Have a few of them. One tip is to stuff the chimney full of sticks (fallen birch twigs fallen are best), then add water and place on the base with a small bit of tinder burning. Gives you some time to take in the lovely scenery.
I've recently purchased the ultimate Scout kit on sale, wasn't fussed about most of the extras but wanted the pot support that can also be used to raise the fire base off the ground. Amazing piece of kit I'm loving it, I mainly bought it for coastal kayak camping but have used it on a few day hikes too. Thanks for your videos that guided my purchase mate they've been invaluable 👍
Hello mate, ahh brilliant. Yes, you don't need the cookset if you don't want it. I wanted the full kit so upon adventures I'd be self-sufficient but if you just want it for heating water that's totally fine too. I'm really glad you're enjoying the Kettle pal. Ahh thank you man, that's very kind of you to say and glad my reviews have helped in some way.
Very ingenius device, k have o e too. Tend to use spirit burner with it as its more controllable. It works different from other kettles, from top down rather than bottom up. Looking to make a slight mod, to retain heat, if not cooking on the top, so you dont get covered in soot and smoke.
I've got a couple of Kelly's one in Aluminium and the other (a kind gift) in Stainless steel with the hobo cooker. Great kettles. Looks like a great place up there Ant
Hi Sandy, yeah fab pieces of kit aren't they pal. Yeah that's the one I have mate with the hobo. Yes mate, a stunning location to relax and spend time with old and new friends in. You should get your bike up that way Sandy, loads to see and explore matey. Thanks for popping by pal.
Hi Cath, thank you! Yeah love that sound, it's just so relaxing I think. Yeah one heck of a beautiful place to spend time in. I'll be heading back there for sure. You too Cath, have a good one!
Ahh cheers Si mate, yeah a beautiful place to spend 3 days relaxation matey. I highly recommend the trip dude. Haha I'm not back till Monday mate, was thinking I might get another in lol. Thank mate as always for watching! I'll get on yours tonight too pal!
First ive seen of the kelly ketttle. Definitely a nice bit of kit. I wonder, though, can you use the pot stand, hobo grill, whatever it is, on *top* of the kettle? It seems like you give up the rocket stove/chimney aspect of it otherwise. Maybe there's no real jeed, but it seems like a lost opportunity for more efficient cooking.
Hi Andrew, yeah they are great! Fabulous on trips like this. I would have thought it would be ok to do that. If the grill fits over the chimney and leaves enough room between each then I don't see why not pal. Thanks very much for watching and commenting Andrew
Morning matey hope your well? Yeah they are a great bit of kit bud and lots of fun to use! Yes, stunning area to visit that's for sure. Thanks for the watch pal
I got our base camp kettle but I messed up and didn't get the accessories. I tried to cheap out thinking i could use any small pan. If you are in the market just go ahead and get it all at once.
Yeah there's two different sets mine with the stove set, grill, pan and grip and the other features plates and cups. I take it you just bought the kettle and stove mate?
Great job! I'm not a fan of the KK for multiple reasons but that doesn't take away from how well you use this item. I like to see different approaches and meal ideas, so I really appreciate you putting this together and sharing. Thanks for sharing!
Hello mate, thank you for watching. Ahh cheers. That's very kind of you to say. Yeah not everyone's cup of tea, I get that pal. Yeah there's plenty of food options you can do on it. I've made some nice food in previous video's. Bit thanks for take the time to comment, I appreciate it. Ant 👍
I purchased a Ghillie kettle last year just before the winter price hike with the intention of using it if we had power and gas cuts which never happened thank the heavens ( mind you I did have my portable gas stove with enough gas canisters to last the whole winter my meths trangiant stoves again with enough fuel to last quite a while and my Mk 2 Swedish paraffin stove with a couple of gallon of paraffin) I think I had enough to survive 😀. I can't wait to try out my Ghillie kettle hopefully this year . Your carry handle lugs if you wish you could streathen them by getting some stainless steel folks or spoons from the charity shop 10 P upwards cut drill and bend them in to shape and then solder them in to place with a specialist rod you can obtain of ebay or Amazon the only other bit of kit you need is a blow torch up 1100 f Jobs a good en . Enjoyed the vid Ant as always.
Hi mate, yeah I looked at those at the Bushcraft Show before getting this, looked a decent bit of kit too. Ahh right well, you never know what can happen. Least your all set if something does happen with the cost of living. I probably won't be modding it myself if I'm honest, if it snaps then I'll look into it but thanks though for the tip Tarmac. Thanks as always for watching and glad you enjoyed the vid
Hey Matty mate! Thanks very much pal. Just in the process of editing the main film for next week. Glad you enjoyed it pal. What a place eh! We can't leave it as long next time buddy, we'll get something sorted ASAP buddy.
Hi Craig, thanks matey! Yeah what a place to visit, I knew it would be a cool place to visit pal. Yeah it did a fab job of providing food and drink on the trip dude. Thanks for watching pal 👍
Hi Denis, thanks very much pal. Yeah it's definitely a fun kit to have and very efficient at boiling water along with the cookware also. Yeah I don't tent to head far with it as it's more cumbersome than heavy so Yeah car, canoe or not too far walk and ut works perfectly. Thanks buddy for watching
Edited: Thanks for sharing. I agree with you about the eventual handle issue. Presently have the stainless steel Trekker kit and waiting for the Ultimate Basecamp kit to arrive. Noticed how you store the folding grate when packing everything up. Good to know. Like your canoe. Is it a solo type?
Hi there Michael, yeah I think it will eventually cause issues for me as it seems to given me problems a few times now but hey, it's OK for now. Let me know your thoughts on the Scout will you mate. Yeah, just pop it in the chimney and your good to go! Thanks Michael, it's a 17 footer, two man. Me and my son have been on many an adventure in her. Flip it round the way I'm paddling at the moment and it's better to steer if your solo paddling. Big thanks for watching and also for your comment mate, I appreciate it. Cheers, Ant 👍
Like the video and another look at loch trool. I've never considered the Kelly kettle I've thought it's on the bulky side but it's starting to appeal to me could be because I'm getting older. Because it's a rocket stove that boils the water so fast draws me to it. It may be my next purchase
Hi matey, thank you as usual for watching, I really appreciate it. Yeah it’s bulky definitely but when your out and about on a canoe trip it’s just perfect and great for boiling water quickly if you are gasping for a brew. You can get the smaller version, the Scout, which I’m sure you’ll love.
I have one of the larger stainless ones that’s about 1.8L or so. Great piece of kit but a bit of a pain if no dry wood around. It does dry wood out nicely though. That whistle used to be a solid bung and they’d explode, that’s probably why people to tell you to take it out. Mega scenery BTW, guessing that’s Lake District somewhere?
Hi Dave, yeah they are fabulous. I've always found it OK drying damp wood, as long as you start very small and thin plus some decent tinder your laughing matey. Yeah that's right mate, used to be a Cork in the top. Not too bad because you could carry water as long as you didn't tip it up lol. It's Scotland Dave, the beautiful Loch Trool, gorgeous isn't it pal. Thanks very much for watching and for your comment 👍
@@AntSurviveTheNight - Thanks for the reply Ant, I must check out that Loch Trool sometime. Shame they’re not a bit more permissive around the North West. Scotland has a much better attitude to camping and tourism and it shows.
No problem Dave. Yeah definitely mate, if you like peace and quiet and time to relax this place was great for that. Very remote mate. Yeah I wish we had that attitude definitely but I can't see it happening any time soon. Thanks again pal
So what happens with the burning material down the centre of the Kettle Ant? Just falls out the bottom? I always thought it a bit cumbersome to carry about and weighty though in a canoe I suppose that's not an issue unless you need to portage. I need to get back up the highlands soon.
Yeah the Kettle is just like a chimney Mark, they fall into the bottom of the stove mate. They are cumbersome but lightweight. It can fit into a small day pack still with water and food. Definitely great for canoeing and woodland camping mate. Yeah Scotland is stunning isn't it. Thank you as always Mark.
😀 was that flame grilled halloumi?? 😳😋😋 wow! Food looked delish buddy. Great, balanced review in my opinion 👍 does sound like a bit of a bargain considering the versatility, especially up against some more, rather over priced, options. And you'd be unlikely to run out of fuel 😂 👍
The only way to eat it isn't it matey haha, thanks man. Yeah cheers, its definitely a cookset to look at mate if you're I'm the market as I say. Yeah I boiled the coffee on mainly just dried ferns as there wasn't many sticks knocking about that area so yeah you would be hard pressed not to get the boil. Thanks matey for watching
Good instructive and informative video , but I want you to make a cracking venison stew on it ( only joking mate ) . Great video God bless you brother.
Hi Paul! Hope you're doing OK buddy, any news on the work front yet? Thank you matey, haha not a chance, it wouldn't come close to Matty's plus I'd be there all night feeding the small fire hahaha! The same to you my friend, look after yourself pal
@@AntSurviveTheNight I checked out the smaller ones so definitely would go for a trekker and pot stand. Just need to find a way to make it sound like it's a good purchase to the boss..
Hi mate, depends on the fuel really. Your good to go if the weather as been dry but in this video, everything was either wet through or damp. It soon heats up though and evaporates the moisture fast! Thanks got commenting, Ant

Hi Rick, yeah a beautiful place to visit matey. Yeah that's the plan, I wanna try and do them all and move up Scotland. It had a very remote feel this one mate from the drive in, to the paddle. Thanks buddy for watching
Bought mine when they were talking about rationing electricity, love it coffee noodles etc. just got a xast pan for it.
Yeah a lot of people did just that. They are so very easy to use, even damp fuel works although Tuesdays video which features the Kelly Kettle in a Vs match I did struggle keeping it light but that was due to larger pieces of fuel.
@@AntSurviveTheNight I have a little plastic football pump, works wonders👍

Hi Kurt, oh sounds interesting that, never thought of using a Trangia with it. I'll have to give it a bash mate, fab idea
what's not to love about a kelly kettle, brilliant bit of kit
I totally agree! A fab bit of kit aren't they!
The handle and daft chain.The petromax is a better design, but more expensive.
@hydraman5 they can be fiddly but it's no biggy. I'd like to try out some Petromax gear, I'll try and pick some up at next year's Bushcraft Show
I've got a couple of Kelly's one in Aluminium and the other (a kind gift) in Stainless steel with the hobo cooker. Great kettles.

Yeah, just pop it in the chimney and your good to go!
Thanks Michael, it's a 17 footer, two man. Me and my son have been on many an adventure in her. Flip it round the way I'm paddling at the moment and it's better to steer if your solo paddling.

Hi matey, thank you as usual for watching, I really appreciate it.
Yeah it’s bulky definitely but when your out and about on a canoe trip it’s just perfect and great for boiling water quickly if you are gasping for a brew. You can get the smaller version, the Scout, which I’m sure you’ll love.
@AntSurviveTheNight I'll have my Kelly kettle by the 20th I'll be making video for Facebook and for my TH-cam channel really looking forward to it
I really like mine, but it’s pretty big to hike with. Boils very fast!
Hello Brian, yeah they are fab but yeah I don't think I'd hike with one either mate. Thank you for watching the video, good of you pal, Ant 👍
I have one of the larger stainless ones that’s about 1.8L or so. Great piece of kit but a bit of a pain if no dry wood around. It does dry wood out nicely though. That whistle used to be a solid bung and they’d explode, that’s probably why people to tell you to take it out. Mega scenery BTW, guessing that’s Lake District somewhere?
Hi Dave, yeah they are fabulous. I've always found it OK drying damp wood, as long as you start very small and thin plus some decent tinder your laughing matey.
Yeah that's right mate, used to be a Cork in the top. Not too bad because you could carry water as long as you didn't tip it up lol.

Yeah wouldn't suit everyone Phil mate, not for every adventure but for some it's a must I'd say. Cheers pal 👍
@@AntSurviveTheNight I checked out the smaller ones so definitely would go for a trekker and pot stand. Just need to find a way to make it sound like it's a good purchase to the boss..
Haha tell her it would get you out of her way for a bit, works for my wife 😄

A bit smokey for a smokeless stove
Hi mate, depends on the fuel really. Your good to go if the weather as been dry but in this video, everything was either wet through or damp. It soon heats up though and evaporates the moisture fast! Thanks got commenting, Ant
No such thing as a smokeless wood stove!
😊
Thanks Jack 👍
