Bushcraft Brew Kit Cook Kit Updated Version.wmv

I first did a video on my brew kit/solo cook kit about 15 months ago and have had quite a few questions from newer subscribers about this kind of thing. So instead of directing everyone back to the original video, as there have been a few changes to this and my cook set has evolved quite a bit, I thought I would do this first of two videos to show this kit and how it workls for me now. The second video will be on the rest of my cooking capabilities.

[@JesterBushcraft]

That is a really great kit Jedi and remember "When the price is long forgotten the quality is always remembered" I really like the bag too, oh and the cup and the bottle and do you know what the soup looked good too. Brilliant kit. And a lovely spot in the woods for your shelter JEALOUS !!!!!

[@jediknightofthewoods]

A very true statement indeed buddy! The quality of these items should ensure a lifetime of use! Hopefully the shelter will work out well. Its going to take some time to get ready but through the summer I will be working on it so that come winter I will have somewhere more stable and solid to stay. Cheers!

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Hi Snake! Dont know how I missed this comment! Thanks for watching! It does take a while to get the components together, and they are not cheap! But like they say, buy cheap buy twice, and this kit will last a lifetime! Cheers and all the best!

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Cheers Mike! Its taken a long time to get this kit to where I like it. Each component is bomb proof, functional and will probably outlast me on this earth! Cheers!

[@richardhummell2497]

Re Tatonka: Take good care of your kit and it will take good care of you! Re Mossies: Keep a dryer sheet in your shirt pocket and one under your hat. Re Gun: Glad you weren't hit! Messy! Re Titanium Pot: You are right on! those are frightfully expensive. Great video! As usual! Keep on keeping on! Rick

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Thanks for clarifying JC, and of course thanks for taking the time to watch! Its a lovely area for sure, nice and secluded (as much as you can get in the UK I guess!) plenty of materials and a great place to it and enjoy. All the best!

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Hey Rob mate! Thanks for the kind words! Its a fantastic site, very secluded, plenty of materials. No I probably wont use ferns for thatching, there are plenty of boughs around that will stay green for a while, and also this will probably be used more for a winter retreat for me and my brother when the chance of rain is low and snow is high! :-) I plan a funky type of construction that will allow the use of my hammock as the bed, if it all comes to plan! lol! Cheers my friend!

[@BCbikerhippy]

Among the many, I use the same basic set up. Though with a Trangia and GSI cup. I've been trying for quite some time to find a stainless container like the one you've used for your bush stove. I've searched thrift stores, kitchen stores, and the "big box" chain stores with no luck. I've seen a few on youtube, and always seem to be from someone across the pond. After taking a break, and now seeing this, the search continues. Nice set up. Thanks for sharing.

[@karenchakey]

Very nice, I am making some of my own equipment too, I wanted a Zebra Billy can but can't afford the price! so I went to the Goodwill "second hand store" and picked up a stainless steel jar and made my own, can't wait to see your next vid and your new brew kit, nice vid!

[@nighthawk6376]

That's a nice tidy brew kit mate, And that's a nice location for your future camp! ..Tony.

[@hunyango2k]

great kit mate, love the minimalist type idea.

[@funkyprepper]

Very tidy cook kit Mr Jedi :) Love the tac bag (very cool) i like the way it all goes in one bag - smart move i feel the modularized ideology is gathering pace in the survival market - & you have got something there bro thanks for sharing mate all the best Darren

[@OperationDitW]

Nice bit of woods and nice little kit!

[@MrFermanaghman]

Great kit Jedi puts me in the mood for a brew! Lol

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Cheers Rick! Absolutely right, I like to wash everything when I get home. I dont mind the used, black dirty look but a little effort in maintenance goes a long way! All the best!

[@canoebushcraft1]

spot on bit of day kit. i have just ordered the 12x5 maxpedition water/bottle pouch to replace my copy of the 10x4 i will use the 10x4 for day kit use.. nice one jedi that looks a great bit of kit.. i havent tried any tatonka products but that mug looks good..

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Cheers Buddy! Thanks for watching! Does me too, Cant wait to get out there again! All the best!

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to commet. This set up has taken me the best part of 2 years to completely put together trying different options etc, I guess thats part of the fun in bringing it all together yourself over time! Cheers and all the best!

[@johncrouch8988]

Nice set up with more versatility than the expensive Canterbury kits!

[@jediknightofthewoods]

John Crouch Thanks for watching and for the kind words! All the best!

[@WiltshireMan]

Good cook kit Jedi. I have never tried tetonka but evryonr says it's good kit. Take care Sandy

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Thanks mate! I have been looking at the 12x5 but I think its just that tiny bit too big for what I have here. The mug is a great bit of kit, 500 ml capacity, nice thick stainless steel, graduated markings on the inside from 100ml upwards for measuring if you need them. Cheers and all the best!

[@MCQBushcraft]

That’s a great kit. I love the Guyot Designs bottles. They make good multifunctional hanging pots. Cheers, Mike

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Excellent stuff! look forward to seeing that and how it works! Cheers!

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Cool! cant get on with them myself. I guess some people get used to one thing and others get used to another. I do like the small compact folding nature of the burner unit, its the fuel itself I dont like so much. Cheers and thanks for watching!

[@AdventuresWithDad]

nice kit brother....and sweet looking spot

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Yeah that would be great Randy! get a vid done of it! Cheers and all the best!

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Hopefully it will work out ok, its nice and secluded, plenty of raw material and certainly a lovely patch of woodland to spend time in! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!

[@jelkel25]

I've got a cheap version of this kit, most of it's from bargain shops but it's all stainless steel and worked a treat right through the winter. Now it's (sometimes) warming up I'll revert back to the US GI canteen cook system as I don't need to put tea in the flask for later against the cold, a good bit of kit and we all know the brew kit is the most important!!!

[@camojoe83]

nicely assembled kit, jedi. and nithin wrong with clean pots either.. the only time i think a sooted black pot is beneficial is if you were distance hiking and had to make the most out of your alcohol burning when you couldnt build a fire, but thats pretty specific. nice spot in the woods you found there too.. enjoy!

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Cheers Tom! Those tent pegs are useful for sure. It always seems to be a process of evolution eh! Thanks for watching buddy!

[@martshal]

brilliant setup, thanks for sharing

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Thanks very much! Happy New year to you too!

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Thats what its all about buddy! Adapting all this stuff to meet your own needs. This is just the first module that I will pick up, and that I will add to with pieces from the second video going up soon. This one comes along all the time, every time. In the next video there will be pieces that sometimes I will take and sometimes I will leave behind, all depends on my thought process and preparation for the trip ahead, could be hours, could be days. Thanks for watching and all the best!

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Modular and options mate, I know you see the value in that philosophy! lol! Cheers and all the best for the rest of the weekend Bro!

[@dbxtexas]

Easiest way to remove the hobo stove from your bag: Put your hand into the stove, make a fist, pull your fist out while holding the bottom of the bag. Well thought out kit.

[@BornRandy62]

I found an old canvas strap with brass buckles that was used for some sort of government tote bag. Mail Carrier is the jist I am getting from it. I attached two spring loaded clips to the ends with soldered brass rod formed into a triangle. I salvaged a leather strap abrasion shrouding from other places and use that as a shoulder piece to spread out the weight. The strap clips connect to rings on either side of the maxpedition bag. I should take some video to show it put together.

[@05Rudey]

I really need to modernise my equipment, i have an old metal cup which i think belonged to my granddad, you might know the type, white enamel camping mug with a blue rim? I have no idea how old it is, it could be from 20 - 50 years old. They were really popular as a kid. quite large so good for a brew, beans cuppa soup or insant noodles, pop it straight on the burner and drink or eat from the mug, i just have to make sure i bring my billy grips or a workmans glove. For day hikes, I still use the same Hex burner i had from when i was a cadet, British army issue, it must be about 25 years old, a bit tatty but i just prefer the steel old ones. i have newer but i don't like the cheap flimsy aluminum quality of it, so i just keep replacing the hex tablets. Great for camping, day hiking, fishing or just a spare cooking system. Really like the pouch you keep your brew kit in.

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Hi, thanks for watching! Its a stainless steel burner made by Tatonka, very reasonably priced through a well known online shopping site at about £7 or £8 I believe. Great bot of kit, has a decent 'O' ring in the lid so you can transport fuel inside it, I have done so on loads of occasions, and it has an indented lid so you can use it to snuff the burner out. All the best!

[@DeepSouthExperience]

going back to old favorites

[@PaulOutdoors]

Wonderful Paul...although this video is 4 years old this cook and brew kit is similar to the one I take when wild camping on an open fire. The difference being that I have a Stanley cook pot with lid that nests inside the Tatonka cup and the stainless Nalgene bottle nesting in the Stanley pot...the Stanley loud also fits the Tatonka cup. I have a fish gag that fits inside the top of the Nalgene to suspend it over a fire or to move it. All fits inside the condor h2o pouch. If mobile I carry my crusader cook set with a coil of fire rope and meths and where a open fire is not allowed I take my wood gas stove, summit tiffin pan and lid that stove nests inside and crusader cup. Hope that you are well. Paul :)

[@kenneth6731]

I have been on a quest for years to find the perfect kit. This system has yet to be beaten.

[@TigerGeneral]

Thanks for sharing, I was surprised to hear the gunshot.

[@MrWmburr7]

You Limeys crack me up with your inventive British lingo . . . "absolutely crackin' bit kit". Too funny! Enjoyed your video, though; always interesting to see what bush crafters carry on "the other side of the pond".

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Absolutely right, it is 38oz! Thanks for clarifying and of course for watching!

[@galenlong3005]

Nice Kit Mate, Happy new year.

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Its not really so much of a 'survival' dog tag as such, just my personal info in case I get lost in the wilds of England and need to be identified! lmao! Thanks very much for watching, commenting and the subscription to my channel! Cheers and all the best!

[@billhickman6455]

It took you a while to get to the subject, glad I waited, I really like your setup... Did you mention the origin of the hobo stove? Looks like a stainless canister of some sort... Thank you for sharing! Bill

[@MaffTUK]

I know this is a few years old now but FYI your Nalgene is still just about hanging in the market but its now £28 quid.... Jeepers.... I still bought one though just two weeks ago LOL just had too..... without doubt it is a good tried and tested system... thanks for sharing ...Oh and by the way I also dont give a hoot about the how quick the water boils, and if another chap gets a brew thirty seconds before me then great that means they can go fetch some more fire wood when they have finished before me also.. :-) cheers Maff

[@jediknightofthewoods]

+Maff T totally agree! Time to boil is completely irrelevant in the woods, time is an entirely new concept in the woods not measured by seconds minutes and hours, but by the conditions, seasons and events. ok a lid may help keep debris out of your pot, or it may prevent all the contents being spilled if you happen to tip a pot over (anyone thats never tipped a pot over on the camp fire has either never done it or has not done it enough times! lol!). One of the biggest challenges I see in people outdoors is transferring a society based reliance on a need to run to times and deadlines without letting go.

[@OutdoorEnthusiast101]

Another top video mate , Was the Guyot an import or did you find them here ? Ive managed to find a supplier here but at £30 inc p+p but under the Nalgene name . I got the leather pouches video up too mate .

[@bradmatthews7124]

Nothing wrong with spending a little extra for quality equipment. If you look after it and get plenty of use out of it, then it’s money very well spent.

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Thanks for watching and the kind words! The bottle is a Guyot Designs 34oz stainless steel bottle. You cant get them under this brand name anymore, but if you are looking for one similar, try Kleen Kanteen, or if you are in the Uk I have a couple of other links I could send you. Cheers!

[@jediknightofthewoods]

The guyot was picked up here in the Uk for about £25 mate, but I reckon I must have got one of the last in stock anywhere cos they went awol very soon after. Nalgene I believe took them over. Gonna check your pouches vid out now! all the best mate!

[@BCbikerhippy]

I've thought about it, yeah. I'm waiting for someone I know to have the right size can. I don't drink coffee, and rarely eat canned foods from a size that would work for me. Good suggestion though. I've seen alot of "coffee can" set ups that seem to work top notch.

[@welshprepper8566]

nice kit you got there, where did the bag come from? i have seen something simlar on ebay for about £15. would you recommend it?

[@martinadejaquiz2482]

i have the same kit minus the hobo stove and i'm liking the looks of that hobo stove and that it fits and nests the bottle. can you tell about that hobo stove please.... how to make it, where i can get the container to start with and all of that? thank you very much

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Thanks for watching! I bought mine from an Airsoft website based in China, they are cheap knock offs of the Maxpedition kit, although there is a brand called Condor that I believe do this puch as well, a lot cheaper than Maxped though! I would definitely say they are worth it for a protective case, but I dont expect the MOLLE straps to hold up forever on the stitching. All the best!

[@jediknightofthewoods]

There is also a Highlander brand stainless steel bottle too which is only about £5 if I remember right, and thats a 1 litre capacity. Cheers!

[@Andersbork]

It is a cracking bit of kit you have and it is very well thought out! Very compact and versatile. I am still impressed:o) Great area for your lean to! Are you going to use ferns to thatch it with? Have a great weekend my friend! Rob

[@jackmccormack6938]

Brilliant brew kit mate! Its really hard to find any wide mouth type metal bottles! Cheers, Jack

[@SalvationInChristAlone]

The Straight walled Guyot Designs 38 oz Stainless Steel Nalgene is extremely hard to find, They stopped making them......

[@SalvationInChristAlone]

Look what I stumbled on !!! www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NALGENE-WIDE-MOUTH-STANDARD-STAINLESS-STEEL-LOOP-TOP-1L-/251469273958?pt=UK_SportingGoods_HikingEquipment_RL&hash=item3a8cbc9b66 (I WOULD DOUBLE CHECK WITH THE SELLER TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE THE STRAIGHT WALLED)

[@mickeyauthement6898]

I like the bag a lot. What is the brand name of it and where can I purchase one.

[@shawngallagher1031]

Great video, can you tell me where you found that pouch please

[@doogal1234]

or you can get a 32 oz. stainless bottle from the pathfinder school, good size for water purification tabs (32 oz to the shoulders of the bottle). I got these because the squared off (not tapered) Guyot bottles aren't very available, and when found can be near $50 U.S. Nalgene says they will have more (of which version, i don't know) in April.

[@BornRandy62]

I am still working out what is the best arrangement for my circumstance.

[@jediknightofthewoods]

I can waffle on a bit! lol! the hobo stove is exactly that, a steel cannister I found in a store. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! All the best!

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Cheers Cadet!

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Thanks for the comment! Lol! The Great British Empire was built on tea! and any stressful, emergency, or survival situation can be made all the more manageable will a good brew! Cheers and all the best!

[@kan-zee]

Good Kit to make Great Brew..Cheers MTFBWY ;-))

[@TheDD563]

what is the brand of that alcohol burner ? Is it SS ? Where can we get one ? Cheers mate ...

[@rayhill1371]

I’ve been trying to find a stainless steel bottle in the UK for some time without success. I would be interested in your UK links for 34oz stainless steel bottle Many Thanks Ray

[@Voipmonkey1975]

Hi Jedi what was the bag you have all this in?

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Cheers Foxy!

[@jediknightofthewoods]

I got it rom Opsgear mate, US site but the shipping was ok at the time. try Airsoft websites as well and you should find something like it pretty easy! All the best!

[@geographyinaction7814]

Finding the bottle in Canada isn't difficult but getting it on-line or on-line in the states is pretty dear....bloody expensive mate. Imagine my shock and surprise when I found a Nalgene (Guyet) in stainless at Superstore for $34!!! Bought it! It's like walking into Tesco's and finding elusive genuine kit and having it at discount pricing.

[@lptb13]

hey jedi what is the web site you got the bag from called? Luke.

[@davidcooper6704]

I have added a couple of inexpensive molle magazine pouches to the sides of my water bottle holder.....ideal for those extra choc bars etc.

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Thanks for watching and commenting! Its taken a long time to get these pieces together so that they fit nice and compact. worth the effort in finding them! Cheers and all the best!

[@mickeyauthement6898]

Ray I know you can get a 32oz stainless bottle on line from the Pathfinder Store.

[@thingyee1118]

great kit i use a hexamene burner.

[@wmosew]

Sorry , what is the extent of your bottle pouch? 12x5 ? or 10x4?

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Thanks for watching! The pouch was, if I remember right, purchased from Opsgear in the US, they had a sale and the shipping was reasonable. I think its the Condor brand. If you do a search on the online shopping sites for Airsoft Water Bottle Holder, or Airsoft Medic Pouch, that kind of thing, you will get a load of results come up. It may be cheap chinese made stuff but I find it fit for purpose. All the best!

[@deborapettigrew1258]

How did you make the hobo stove in the brew kit?

[@4850937]

What kind of alcoholic drink do you brew?

[@meltdownzero]

is that a survival dog tag set i see ? nice vid well informative new subcriber :) cheers

[@aerocap]

Nalgene Guyot Designs Standard Surgical Stainless Steel Water Bottle along with Tatonka Stainless Steel Handle Mug is currently the best set that could be found.

[@danielhove89]

Condor has a good 1

[@GreencampRhodie]

Brill kit! Thanks for the posting. Managed to get the smaller 32oz guyot designs bottle on amazon very recently £27, but having to order ur 36oz straight wall from america (private order, not commercial cos of import charges!!). For anyone wanting a woodburning / trangia combo stove but cannot make hobo, checkout "wild wood gas stove" on web - the bees knees!!

[@PRODIGALSUN]

don't waste your money on the maxpedition case, i just bought the 12" x 5" version and despite it being plenty roomy i still don't think it was worth the money... will post a review in the next few days if you want to find out exactly why i say that, i will discuss it there at length... i have also borrowed a few ideas from you, so you might be interested to see a different take on some of your ideas

[@jediknightofthewoods]

PRODIGAL SUN I never did get the Maxped 12x4 but will still check out your review! Cheers and all the best!

[@jediknightofthewoods]

+PRODIGAL SUN hey, there doesnt appear to be a video on the Maxped 12x5 on your channel? did it ever get filmed? removed? cheers!

[@jito7377]

Old video, when this cook kit was expensive. Yes, it is not really cheap. But most item prices went up and Bushcraft has a lot of gear junkies this days.

[@GreencampRhodie]

Forgot to say. If unable to get guyot in uk, only alternative is the stanley (750ml?) single-walled stainless steel water flask about £15

[@thingyee1118]

The hexe blocks do smell but there verry hot burning

[@novascotiansurvival]

The bottle is 38 oz I think

[@andrewtimms4299]

nice video. What bottle do you keep your meth in?
