Another interesting and well produced video - thanks for sharing! A few comments… (of course!) Firstly, if the Mac and Cheese was all I had and I had flooded it I would have turned it out in the pan and let it ‘reduce’ over the burner for a few minutes to evaporate off the excess moisture 🤔 Also a couple of hacks from other Trangia mini users, one was an old chap who drilled a hole in the pointy bits of the windshield and then put steel wires through he had got from an old cooker - he cut them to size, bent one end as a ‘lock’ and one he bent a V into so the other could fit through and lock it. (Friction lock). He then used it to sit his Stanley pot on and boil water - worked a treat! The other hack was from a Geologist/mountain biker called Luke who lives in Spain - love his videos! He uses the bottom of a beer can cut with the base bit cut out too to fit over the jets on the burner… it damps the flame and fits nicely inside the mini windshield… worth a look? 🤷♀️? 👍🙌😁
Yes, you're absolutely right about the way to do a Mac'n'rescue, Amanda. This time I lost all interest in it and since I knew I was heading home I just chalked it up as a lost cause. Those hacks is definetely worth a look. Cheers!
The macaroni cheese "soup" didn't look too good, sadly, I don't blame you for not eating it. If you're taking requests, could you make Welsh cakes on yout Trangia? They're a sweet, scone like cake that you can cook in a frying pan or griddle. They're made traditionally on a "bake stone", which is a cast iron flat pan, over a fire, and served with butter and sometimes, jam too. I've made them before, and put all the dry ingredients in a bag, then added milk and an egg at camp. They're delicious, ideally washed down with a mug of tea. Please feel free to ignore this suggestion!
I hadn't heard of those befor so I had to google them and I'm intrigued. I always enjoy to broaden my cooking horizon aswell as a challenge so I'll put them on my "to-do list". Thanks for the suggestion Sarah. Cheers!
As ALWAYS and excellent video....We always carry a titanium cup between us with side graduations for water/etc quantity...but even then we find that instructions can be 'sloppy' and 'imprecise'. For popcorn, leave out the butter initially and then the oil does not begin to burn even at high temperature (use a high temp oil) and at end throw in butter and salt and dark brown sugar and stand for about 3 minutes while butter, salt and sugar amalgamate....WOO HOO....lol....Thank you for your video, stay well, stay safe...Helen with Kat and Terri with Robyn.
I usually have some kind of measuring tool too, but this time I thought I could do without... so Murphy kicked my behind. I never got in to the sugery popcorn thing, but for those that do I think your recipe could be magic. Cheers Gals!
I usually have maybe 2/5 the amount of oil and a mix of 2/3 rapeseed and 1/3 olive oil (no butter) but it's down to personal taste of course. Good work on the proper amount of kernels! I would've overfilled for sure. 😅 The second shot of the mac'n'cheese looked a tiny bit better, I probably would've eaten it, so don't be so hard on yourself. 🥰 It was great experiencing another visit with you to the woods, been having fever for a week, so been locked inside. The intro music for some reason reminded me of '70:s TV-series like maybe "Rockford tar över" (The Rockford files), hehe. I loved most of them in the same genre, so it was a perfect start!
Sad to hear 'bout your fever, I hope you're feeling better now. You're right about the intro, there's a 70's feel to it, now that you mention it. Cheers!
I'm sure you would have eaten the mac and cheese if you were hungry lol. I have never thought of popcorn in the trangia but I will remember that for the future. Its great that other people share ideas with you by challenging you. Great video thank you very much 😊
If I was hungry enough and that was my only option I'd eat them for sure, no doubt about it. I'm quite happy that I get theese challenges/suggestions. Lot of them I'd never thought of myself. Cheers Robert!
Yeah, if I had been on an overnighter or longer and didn't have anything else I would surely done so, or even possibly eaten it in the current stage. This time, I just got pissed off and discarded it, but the popcorn was good :) Cheers Tony!
Hej, har precis hittat din härliga underbara kanal. Vi tycker massor om att kolla på dina äventyr och även utrustningsutvärderingar, särskilt Trangias grejjer. Dina videos är lika lugnande som Älg TV 😊 man kan ha dig på i bakgrunden också och bara njuta av lugnet du sprider.
It's a good thing your spoon is a ladle! That's about the only way you'd get it out of the bag if you were going to eat it. Glad you left that part in. Love your take on writing instructions, too.
I looooove popcorn cooked over fire. My suggestion - not asked for - nix the rapeseed oil and butter and just use olive oil (more than you’d think necessary). If you’re really courageous, add brown sugar just as it starts to pop for what is called “kettle corn.” YMMV. Well done!
@@RedswedeOutdoors risk of burning. It’s one of those operations that might take a few try’s. Alternatively, skip the sugar and sprinkle your popped corn with your favorite hot sauce. A brown paper bag makes it easy to combine popcorn and sauce then shake the bag to distribute evenly. Good content!
Good ole to much water trick. I definitely know all to well about that also. Least before now I just make sure to undershoot quite a bit. Than add some mix an let sit than add a touch more an sit again until I can get it right
If I was relying on it as my only source of food I probably would, now I was so disappointed on it that I couldn't give a damn. Hope you guys have a great time on your tour over there!
I have watched you make coffee in a couple of videos and I would like to know where you got the black and red cup and lid that you drink your coffee out of . Thanks bill like your videos.
Thank you so much Bill. The cup and lid is a part of the AeropressGo kit. You can check all the features out in an earlier video. Cheers! th-cam.com/video/6By8tD9W2Es/w-d-xo.html
Good to know that it is best to restrict the Trangia burner heat also for pop corn. Your facial expressions were kind of funny with runny macaroni cheese stuf. I would be more disappointed with not enough water to dehydrate the food As measuring cup a small Wildo folding kuksa is about 2.5 dl as unbreakable one excellent. I also use inside Trangia burner a 30 ml medicine cup. Both are handy in darker lighting. Pop corn outings or whatever getting in the teeth is nasty uncomfortable yes.
LOL, Jarmo. I guess I don't have much of a poker face. I will bring some kind of measurment cup the next time I'm doing dehydrated food, that's for certain. Cheers!
Next time, squeeze the pouch into the pot with some water and boil it down (or pour it into the pot and cook it down if not making popcorn, too 😉 ). That will let the starches from the pasta help you thicken it. How do you like the Aeropress? I bought one quite a while back, but never seem to use it. I'm not a popcorn eater, but the occasional bit all buttery and salty like at the theater is worth the aggravation of getting it stuck in my throat 😂
Yeah, I guess I could have done it after the popcorn too. The Aeropress makes good coffee, but small cups. I prefer my usual cowboy coffee, but it works for the mini set-up since it saves some space in the pack. Not my first choice but a good runner up. Cheers Chad!
They do look similar but mine isn't lockable. My knowledge when it comes to folding knives aren't much to brag about so I can't even guess if it's common or not in Sweden.
Oh yes, there where severeal options for me to at least "guesstimate", but I thought the line inside the package was all the guidance I needed. Maybe it was my punishment for being lazy. Cheers Tiger!
Why on god’s green earth would that company put three fill lines inside the Mac and cheese bag? One should suffice and avoid any confusion. That’s just bad design, not user error. And good luck getting the kernel shells out of your teeth. I know, I hate that too!!!
Yay! Thank you for accepting my 🍿challenge! I’m glad it was a success 🥳🎉🤩 This is so cool 😎
Thanks for the idea and for pushing me outside my comfort zone. I hope you get good pocorn in your mini Lisa. Cheers!

This was the modification one… slight heresy drilling a Trangia but I see the point! : th-cam.com/video/V_yNitVf-MI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=X3ByTwEnxMDdJi6q
Thanks!
Popcorn on a Trangia - Brilliant! No schadenfreude from me, life is a tough teacher...
So true, and unfortunately you learn much more from your own mistakes than from others. Cheers!

Yes, my spoon has got the perfect angle due to me packing it wrong. I'm lucky it didn't snap but now it works as a charm. Cheers!

Now I'm intrigued, Peter, maybe I have to try it... Why courageous? Due to taste or the risk of having "sugar burns" in the pot? Cheers!

My new mantra will be: Measure twice, pour once... Cheers!
🙏🙏👍👍All ended well though
One out of two isn't the worst I guess. Cheers Wayne!
You just keep going from triumph to triumph. As to the M&C I am surprised you didn't bung it in the pan and simmer off the excess fluid.
If I was relying on it as my only source of food I probably would, now I was so disappointed on it that I couldn't give a damn. Hope you guys have a great time on your tour over there!
I would probably have taken the risk and eaten that macaroni soup even though it looked very thin. 😂
I wasn't hungry enough for that. ;-) Cheers!

I think you had markings on your water bottle that could have helped you work out how much to in.
That's true Helen. I'm just used to be able to trust the markings inside the bag, not a mistake I'll be doing again any time soon. Cheers!
Is that a Buch 110 you're using? Couldn't really see it to tell.
If you're thinking of the folder it's a Wright & Son, I think the model is a Barlow pocket knife according to their website. Cheers Debbie!
@@RedswedeOutdoors Yes, I also mistyped. Meant to say Buck 110. It's a very common knife here in the US, but probably rare over where you are.
They do look similar but mine isn't lockable. My knowledge when it comes to folding knives aren't much to brag about so I can't even guess if it's common or not in Sweden.
I think i saw lines for measurements on your nigel bottle
Oh yes there is. I just got too easy-going to use them. Cheers Alan!
Oops.. sorry about your mac n cheese 😬
Doesn't your nalgene bottle have water volume measurements? you could use that to measure water in a pinch
Oh yes, there where severeal options for me to at least "guesstimate", but I thought the line inside the package was all the guidance I needed. Maybe it was my punishment for being lazy. Cheers Tiger!

Yeah, but in hindsight I'll take part of the blame. Cheers!
