This design is now on my must do list. Beautiful Bride will appreciate it and surely use this to brew her 3-1. If I get lazy, I may bring along some extra fuel and a few plain black coffee sticks instead of my usual drip system or cowboy coffee in the field. Please note that your excellent craftsmanship and your time to edit and post this video is appreciated.
Great little stove setup! I especially like the way the container is used as a windscreen. I personally can’t enjoy instant coffee packets. I have a Stanley French press thermos combo so I can pour my hot water over coffee grounds and drink right out of it.
I must agree that there's nothing more satisfying than making a decent cup of coffee in the great outdoors. The more involved the better as it allows you to slow down and take in your surroundings. French press makes a pretty good cup of coffee and I should look into upping my game by getting one. Thanks for taking time to comment
@EpicureanHikers, Admittedly, the French press adds quite a bit of weight over your system. Thanks again for sharing one of the best homemade “micro cook kits” I’ve ever seen.
Simply loving your ingenious direction of travel ultralight the way to go , my only criticism being the tin needs to do more than just contain everything , if crammed into a pot it could double as a receptacle to boil water .
The tin doubles as a windshield but I get your point and am now thinking of what I can do with a square mug if I ever find one. Thanks for taking the time to comment
I have a TINY little hiking kettle. It's 15cm acoss and 7.5cm high with a fold down handle. It's about 900mls. The inside has enough space for a little bottle of milk, a tiny container of sugar and a few tea/coffee bags. They sell online for about 4-500 South African Rand but I got mine BRAND NEW at a second-hand shop for R20.
Nice kit I’d love to see a template for the integrated potstand/burner stand Suggestion - with minor adjustments to bits you can store all of this in the Ti mug. Add “hot lips” for the mug and you can drink straight from it (or just blow on it and again drink straight from it). Your windshield then needs to be flexible eg titanium foil. The key is a mug that is taller than diameter - eg a 375ml mug.
I'll try and post a link to a pdf here in the next few days of a template for my pot stand. Obviously you will need to change the dimensions to suit. It's made from thin aluminium the type used for kick plates on doors. I cut the slots with a junior hacksaw or dremel type tool with a cutting disc. The aluminium can be cut with scissors, it's that soft and less than a mm thick. A sheet from Layland or similar is not that expensive. As for you suggestions I agree that they are all valid ways of achieving a compact usable setup but I took a different path. One day I will try to make a caldera cone sort of thing to fit this mug. Thanks for comments

Great setup!
Thanks, glad you liked it. I have more...

Thank you.
This fire straightener looks amazing 😍
Do you mean fire starter. Your Autocorrect playing games with you, huh?
Very cool little day set up!
Thanks.

Sounds really useful. Is it the type that can store a gas canister?
Impressive
Thanks 😊
excellent. consider a cup a soup sachet to mix it up a bit.
That's a good suggestion. I like the little miso soups that have turned up in supermarkets lately. Next in the series will feature one.
That's a BRILLIANT suggestion!
That's pretty cool
Thanks. More coming soon
Were did you get cup from, I'm needing one of those. Plus great vid
They are from a company called "light my fire" and called "Pack-up-Cup BIO 2 Pack - Mug"
Hope that helps
Nice kit

File is access protected. Would be great to see that template. TY.
@@pedalparadise4096
I've changed the access rights. Let me know how you get on
@@EpicureanHikers got it. TY!
I'd say that is prefect.
What are the scissors for?
Getting into packaging that has tear strips that won't tear. I used it yo break into one of the noodles flavour pouches.
Thanks for watching
@@EpicureanHikersOh Spare me. The damn' things say Tear Here and they just DON'T!😅
Try “push here to open” on a Mac n Cheese box!
Hilarious after two drinks 🤣
@DeborahThird-og1uo
Li6me when they sell scissors in a blister pack and the only way to free them is with...scissors. 🤷♂️
Or you could just carry a thermos.,,Have fun stay safe.
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
