I GOT SOME NEW GEAR

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

more cooking videos coming soon

[@outbackowl4026]

Hi Blackie,thank you for your time to make these videos. Muchly appreciated.

[@collinmclaren6608]

I don't know why I find these craft-based pantomiming videos so soothing to watch and listen to

[@gedeon2696]

I've used your BBQ paint idea and have been passing it on to others (with credit to you). Based on my late Father's personal WW2 experience (8th army 1939 - 1945, service corps ), the best 'field kitchen' hack was 2 Italian POWs running the company kitchen. Dad's company was the best fed in any of their camps. Brit officers never found out.

[@mannihh5274]

That seems a very nice pot - 1 qt is just the right size for one person. Painting it black does not only help with the cleanup, it helps reduce the boil time too - steel reflects the heat, the black paint sucks it into the pot. Thanks for showing.

[@kenbarrett6466]

Well the trash can didn’t say anything about not painting all over the top 😂. And Brutal man .. sandpaper right to the pathfinder logo right off the start !

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

lol i did not have my glasses on so i did not notice the logo there till you pointed it out

[@oldminer5387]

Thank you Blackie, good idea with the black paint.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thank you

[@B-leafer]

Hey Blackie, Y'all could put the old'n into the new one and still put your 6 meals in, and have 2 pots!

[@hogrotten6897]

Ahahaha, I've paint all over my trash can too ! 😂

[@worm_vaquero]

Additionally, the black paint allows you to use in a solar oven. Out here on the left coast fires are almost always illegal.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

it would be a plus in a solar cooker to be sure

[@jenniferbauman4802]

Good video. Ya cooking video's. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

[@outbackowl3040]

Hi Blackie, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺, thank you for your time to make these videos.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thank you for watching

[@Backin_Theday]

Good tip.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks

[@benterwellen]

Can also use a thin silicone straw for the bail and handles, when I was a youngster we would take a bar of soap and rub it on the outside of the pot for an easy cleanup…also can acquire those little silicone cup adapters so you don’t burn your lips on the hot metal…

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

true those do help for a hot cup

[@timlacy2284]

Blackie, Great Video and Information Thanks for Sharing. I always appreciate your tips and tricks on how to improve things and make things easier and more comfortable. Thanks Again. Tim L.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

glad to do it

[@charlesroth986]

I've long painted camp cookware with flat black BBQ grill paint. Wasn't worried about the cleaning aspect but instead found that it absorbed heat better and was non reflective when I wanted to be stealthy/sneaky in my choice of camp sites...

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i really dont like the flash of the shinny pots to me dark is more natural i guess

[@davidneal6920]

Hey Blackie, awesome tip about spraying the pot. I will try that one. Cheers Dave 🇺🇸 🇳🇿

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks for watching

[@misolgit69]

Hi Blackie to wrap the handles use plumbers self amalgamating silicone tape, needs to be applied under tension 😇

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

good tip thanks

[@jelkel25]

Do like a nice Billy Pot. Have a stainless steel pot with a spout that would benefit from your sanding down and BBQ paint. Great stuff!!!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks for watching

[@erolkavlakverizon6112]

Nice pot you got there! I like the BBQ paint tip.. Looking forward to some cooking vids. Stay safe Blackie..say hi to Hope.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

will do thanks for watching

[@williammccaslin8527]

Thx for the vid Blackie

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

my pleasure

[@hagman1077]

Hello Blackie- Thats a nice little bush pot. I have one similar by Pathfinder and have considered painting it as you did with yours. Cleaning soot off anything is dirty and Ill probably go this route and do 2 of my army canteen cups at the same time. Thanks for the advise as always and you be safe in your adventures.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

this is by pathfinder as well i really like the size of this one

[@jeffrichards5106]

Hi Blackie, I have that same Pathfinder Bush Pot. Very nice. 👍

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i really like the size of this one

[@ChrisSmith-vc7xs]

At first I thought this was a: Dear Dave, I declare war. Looks like I was wrong. 😄

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

no not at all its just a bushpot .. me and dave get along fine

[@ChrisSmith-vc7xs]

@@BLACKIETHOMAS - I'm certain boss. I've never seen you to be one to drop a yellow stream into someone's Wheaties - at least public persona wise. 👍

[@rleeAZ]

I like that little pot. I've never been a big fan of advertising on the side of my gear. Something in me thinks that if you're gonna put a big logo on the side you ought to pay me to display it.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

lol they dont bother me

[@FishTheJim]

I recently picked one up. Great little bushpot and it has go faster stripes. :)

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

they are nice

[@tobaccoroadadventures]

That heat paint tip was great! Thanks!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks it was good to meet you in Georgia at the gathering

[@lowrangeoverland9013]

great score❗👍🚂🇺🇲

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks Blackie

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

my pleasure

[@DamianBloodstone]

Great tip on the paint and soot. I just got one similar to that with a small steamer insert in it. I plan to put it in my get-home-bag with my little alcohol stove. Excellent tip on the meal prep. I'm going to try that too when I got out to the beach soon. Just a tip. I got one of those expensive Evernew DX titanium stoves. It can work with sticks too, but didn't have a fire plate to stop the ground from burning. I took a clay planter pot saucer and created one for it. I don't think it will burn the ground but I'll see and let everyone know. Take Care and Stay Safe, y'all.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks for watching

[@kalstreksandtrails7606]

I have one as well and have enjoyed using it. Awesome video my friend

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks for the visit

[@markw.3743]

As always Thanks Brother !

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

glad to do it

[@wolfdaddy5630]

Gives me ideas. Thank you ,sometimes more is said without words.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

yep no need to tell people how to paint a bush pot just do it

[@trynsurviven2440]

I’ve been thinking about getting one as well. It’s a perfect size for me.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i really like the size

[@williamdroom5789]

I got one of these when they dropped. Waiting for SRO to come out with waxed canvas bags for it, and the new 10" skillet.

[@thefucrew9865]

Great work !!! Keep it up !!!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thank you

[@alf3553]

More Cooking Videos Blackie 😂. I would like to see some cooking with that titanium canteen setup you have 🔥

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i will be doing some soon

[@duybear4023]

Nice mucket

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks that one served me well a lot of yrs

[@donwaldroopoutdoors3665]

I’ve got that same little pot u will live it not too small not too large

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

yep good size for solo camping

[@MAXCOBRALAZERFACE]

I saw a video where someone cleaned out a titanium pot in fire 🔥

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thats one way to do it

[@johnfortwengler4496]

Another good video. Did I miss the full weather one that you were going to do

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i have not gotten it yet

[@scottcatchot1598]

I have a lot of friends that do civil War reenactment. On the black paint, Mors Kochanski said black pots heated quicker.. what is your thoughts on that?

[@DavidPyro]

Black Paint: A dark surface also absorbs heat more efficiently that a reflective surface. Think space blanket.....the reflective side bounces heat away. Black leather car seats.....to hot to sit on in the summer. Same idea.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

yep it is not scientific but to me it make the pot cook better less hot spots

[@MeetMeOutside]

@@BLACKIETHOMAS Hiram Cook actually proved that to be un true, water did not boil faster in a painted black pot, compared to a non painted one.

[@TexasSheepdawg21]

And I thought all I could use BBQ paint for was painting my muzzle brakes…..😂

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

it is multi use lol

[@jackvoss5841]

OH! OH! New toys! We Olde Fartes have to keep our internal little boys happy. 😏 Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

lol

[@Wheeling88]

Why? Other than getting rid of the logo. Let the fire do its work. I dont like the smell of burning paint.personally. i get it now spoke to soon... Nice container tho..

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i do mine and i find the soot wipes off easier at least it does for me

[@stevenladrig9592]

Blackie I do the same thing but I fix my breakfast then I fix my lunch then I fix my and pack it all into a ziplock bag and and haul it out to the woods

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

good way to do it

[@skipharris5764]

Sanding was too long

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

sorry wanted to be sure the paint would stick to it

[@kirneyc.thibodeaux649]

I like this. Well done. Enjoyed the video. Hope you're doing ok. Charles 🪖🇺🇸❤️

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks for watching

[@mf3361]

Hey Blackie just wondering if you considered the Fire Maple Antarcti 1.2 camping pot with lid , compared to the pathfinder version? I have both versions. There are slight differences between the two . Just curious on what your thoughts are on the Fire Maple Antarcti would be ? If I had the funds I would send you one but unfortunately I don’t . Love your channel BTW 💯%👍🆙

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i have not tried one of those but i will keep an eye out for it
