Cookset Development and Comparison to USFS set

Comparing the PF Cook system to a 1940’s Forest Service set

I have worked for the USFS for the last five years as a wildland firefighter and love seeing vintage FS stuff... I have much pride for that badge and what it represents.

1st and for Christmas I got the mountaineer with maple handles and that’s the best knife I’ve ever owned in my life! Thank you!

I'm a line cook by trade and I love all these videos about cookware and bushpot cooking and camp cooking! Thank you Dave!

Thanks Dave, my bride just gifted me the French press and the skillet. Nice gear & great video!!

I have had lots of different cook set over my life from my time in the Boy Scouts, hiking and in the Army, and now I have most of all your cook sets, when I get ready to take a trip I pull from them and take what I will need for that trip. It makes it so easy. Thanks and I appreciate the old way and how you do too.

G'day mate.! Hope Christmas was awesome with the New Year bringing you more cooking recipes from the good old days. there's absolutely nothing wrong with old school stuff. it works then & even now. We just made it lighter & durable but expensive. Great presentation DC. Stay true. Stay safe. Warm greetings from Australia.

I've got all those PF cook pieces except for the plates, bowls and the bag. Great gear! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas with us Dave.

Awesome job Dave. I’m sold on your brand. Quality items at reasonable prices and great customer service. Thank you for adding to the outdoor community

Although I don't need a kit that big, it is always good to find and apply improvements to existing gear. I have, and will continue to say; ' anything offered by Self Reliance Outfitters" is and always has been FIRST QUALITY. This is because prototypes are extensively tested by Dave, himself, and the folks at the Path Finders School.
Another great piece of gear. ;-)

Hey David, When I was in the Scouts, we got those USFS kits from an Atlanta surplus company called "Old Sarge's." We packed them they had 4 cups, 4 plates, 4 bowls, and two skillets. One skillet on the bottom of the bag and one on top. We also packed rags in the bag so we could wash up with them or use the cloth as fire-making materials as they were usually some kind of greasy. Anyway. Nice kits.

"learning from the past". Yes! thank you for this humble, honest explanation what the brand is about. I'm a happy customer for a few years now. The products are doing honor to all the old designs and make it future proof.

I have almost every piece of your cookset. I bought the smaller bush pot in 2015. And have added to it since. Defensively want that coffee press. The cookset has served me well over the last few years. Keep making top notch gear and I will keep ordering merchandise.

Like it when u show your older things and how far you've come on updating the new cook sets. Try the antique mall off interstate 65, exit 76, has a lot of old stuff Skillet's, u name it they have it. In Indiana of course. Take care Dave Canterbury.☘️👍😎

Thanks Mr. Canterbury for the video. Nicely done.

Great video Dave, really enjoyed it. Thanks! Really excited about the 10 inch skillet, over the MOON to hear about the officers canteen set!!

[Bjohaz]

Miss your cooking videos! But thank you for all that you do Dave!

[tonyarledge]

I think one of the first videos of yours that I ever saw had that set in it and you were breaking it down explaining it. Of course, I had to get one similar. Very useful, very versatile kit.

[ericwooden]

Thanks Dave. Look forward to the future offerings to add to my collection. I appreciate you looking at history and bringing these neat items back to us. Also appreciate the great videos, been especially enjoying your cooking videos.

Cannot wait for the Officer's canteen! Really excited to hear about that. Keep up the great work!
