Good to see you again. I dig the vintage Coleman stove. Maple Spam might be my favorite flavor. I love the XHDATA D-808. It's a pretty good radio. Can't go wrong with the USGI mess kit and utensils. GSI gear has never let me down. USGI canteen set is as good as it gets, but the British Crusader kit is awfully good too. Would you recommend an MLA-30?

@Jaxon1776 Thanks for your comment. I would recommend the MLA-30. It works great when I'm camping or away from electronics that make noise on the bands. Sometimes, it's not good at my house because it just amplifies the noise I already have. It just depends where you are. Thanks for watching my video!

Hard to beat SPAM ‘n EGGS with grits. Instant grits are perfectly fine for doing this stuff…. It’s definitely better than no grits!!! I had some bacon flavored ones this past weekend. The ol’ Coleman is looking good John.

I watch heaps of this type of YT video and always ask about entertainment? The SW radio 📻 would go a long way to providing that. While I sometimes took a SW radio with me, I generally only took a small transistor AM / FM radio with me when motorcycle 🏍 camping back in Australia in the 1980s. I’d also pack a small portable chess set with some printed games and puzzles. A paperback book 📕. A hand held computer game and a pack of cards 🃏, etc. Never got bored out in the Australian bush. Not enough people give much thought to entertainment on trips, especially during unexpected downtime.

@penguinvic9892 Thank you for your comment. Being a radio guy, I enjoy taking one and just seeing what I can hear from around the world. I'm also into Amateur radio and GMRS. I enjoy setting up a battery powered station and try to talk to my friends back home or other people I don't know. It's a great form of entertainment when hanging around camp, driving a road trip or staying at a hotel. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the SW tips! Recently I've had good success with fried eggs in a stainless pan that's got a little stuck bacon on it (with bacon grease still in the pan, of course). With low heat and a close-fitting lid, the eggs steam with just the liquid in the whites, the yolks will start to just turn opaque in 3-4 minutes -- and a flexible steel spatula easily lifts them out of the pan very cleanly!

That style is very old . Europeans have been using that style , as far back as the 1800s . In its original form , it might not have been German , but rather French . It worked well , and was a good idea , so every other country adopted their version of it . But it basically is the same . They still make them , Can get a brand new M31 , with some handy features on Amazon . Good piece of kit . Good ideas never go away .

Instant Grits are the hikers answer to a good breakfast. A buddy of mine paddled the Boundary Waters in Canada ( 30 days ) and for breakfast he would have a pack of instant Oatmeal and a pack of Instant Grits mixed together. Myself I like then separate. Everglades seasoning , Don't be caught from home without any. Try the Turkey Spam. I cooked a turkey dinner with stove top dressing , Instant potatoes , Gravy and Cranberry sauce in the middle of the Okefenokee Swamp ( Floyd's Island ) for myself and 4 paddling buddies.

Heh, heh, that also crossed my mind. Speaking of G.I., the radio on the TV show was a Packard Bell model 8RT2 AM but in the promotional material Thurston Howell the 3rd, is holding a large Magnavox Celestial Model FM-97 4-band receiver that obviously has the marine band and shortwave. It would make sense to have more than one radio and quite possibly while millionaire Howell was on holiday he’d listen to the stock reports and business news. As for the AM reception on G.I. since it was only a three hour tour chances are a local Hawaii islands station or two could be picked up during the day, but at night they would have been able to pick up a multitude of AM stations from 100s if not 1000s of miles away. Anyway, thanks for your post. PS. Mary Ann was my favourite, with the Professor at number 2.
