"They're not good for you, but they're good". Truer words have never been spoken. Don't forget the Tums. LOL. Looked like a great outing.

Great to see your cook gear in use on an overnight trip! Scenery was beautiful, radio antenna worked fine, and fishing was good.

I find myself watching your videos over and over. Glad to see a new one. You have the absolute best videos on vintage military and boy scout mess kits and canteens. I hope you can do a similar video on all your canteens, similar to the one you did on the mess kits. Also the canteen cups. Looking forward. I'd like to send you a Holy grail of mess kits to review. Please DM me and I'll send you the kit for your review and for your collection. Thanks for all you do John... God bless

Nice 👍 .. thanks for sharing.
During this morning's Nordic Walk, I was mulling over which Cook Set to use with my Breakfast Oats. After watching this post, it'll be the Canteen Cup and Stove Set for the Oats together with the 'Schweizer Armee Feldflasche M84' Canteen Cup in which to boil the water. My usual addition to the Oats (I use the standard rolled oats .. it takes a wee bit longer to cook but I enjoy the creamier constituency thereof) .. bananna, peanut butter, honey, salt, ground cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Yumm and it keeps one going until Supper.
Esbit Tabs .. here in Switzerland, one can only get them at specialist Outdoor Stores .. and, they're quite pricy. I keep a pack in my little Esbit Folder (for 'just in case') but my 'GoTo' replacement is Alcohol Gel Fuel ('Sicherheitsbrennpaste') .. available everywhere .. Supermarkets, local Convenience Stores, etc .. and much cheaper.
I haven't seen one of your Feeds for some time now .. nice to see you back .. take care ..

Hi John! Im living in Europe and watching your videos about that bsa mess kit makes me want one.

Great to see another video with some cooking and some cool gear! I can’t wait to try that tamale recipe

[jeepnicc]

Man! That was awesome John! Those tamales looked more like something out of a nice authentic Mexican restaurant than canned cuisine. Looks like everyone had a great time. Thanks for sharing!

Great video. Still have my scout mess kit from the 70's. Red case. I never use it but can't get rid of it. Stays in our camp gear box tho.

[marekturcan]

Nice scout mess kit👍 I saw in yours videos Condor kephart knife this knife is better for outdoor kitchen and allround camping work than Gerber LmF.. You made nice videos👍

[wayneautwell]

Love me some tamales smothered in cheese and old WW2 boy scout mess kit cooking. Got my 2nd one a few months ago and couldn't be happier with how well the carbon steel seasons. Absolutely my favorite mess kit to cook in.

[tonysizzle]

I think it’d be super cool if you created videos using all your vintage mess kits to prepare their time period dishes.

[oxxnarrdflame]

Beautiful river.
I like those canned tamales too. I don’t eat enough of to worry about any health issues.
My brother slices them up and adds them to his breakfast burritos 😊

You just brought sunshine to a currently cold and wet part of Scotland.

Nice river camp spot. Did you guys catch any big fish 🐟

[redsorgum]

Looked like fun, John. It's been awhile since I had tamales from a can.👍👉🇺🇲✝️👈

[jenniferbauman]

Have you done a boy scout gear load out. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts. Great video. God bless.

[beerye]

I caught so many pan fish when I was growing up on the Brazos River that my friends just called me "Perch Jerker" lol

[jamesyoung]

Was this on the river between the dam and St John’s? I’ve scoped that area for years but have never found a camp spot.
