Dave Canterbury's PATHFINDER PFM40 vs. Swedish M40 Mess Kit BOIL TIME SMACKDOWN

[@ebikecnx7239]

How slow are alcohol burners? Is there any difference in boil times between the classic 1940 M40 Swedish military mess kit and the young upstart contender from Dave Canterbury's Pathfinder School (Self Reliance Outfitters)? The old one is much heavier gage steel so must be pretty slow to boil right? P.S.

Hyrum was the GOAT, glad you enjoyed!

New sub here...I've been watching a few of your videos concerning th PFM40 because I've been wanting to purchase one...and, I have been impressed so far by all the videos thus far.

[@ebikecnx7239]

Welcome, thanks for subscribing and checking out the channel! We really are using our PFM40 a lot since getting it, you won't regret getting one. A new Trangia set costs a lot more and they are aluminum, which we don't care for. With the steel potstand on the PFM40 you can even light a wood fire inside which we will demonstrate soon..

[@ebikecnx7239]

Added to the draw, thanks!

@@ebikecnx7239 I have 2 Trangias one new which I bought for another reason and one given to me a while ago...I have always wanted the vintage M40 but in Stainless Steel...but the cost! Man-O-Man, is that out of my price range...I just purchased the PFM40 today and hope you don't mind me mentioning you in a video when I get it...

[@ebikecnx7239]

@@ManLand No problem, please do, good choice glad you are getting one. If we see a stainless steel M40 going cheap anywhere we will let you know too!

Coming from a Yank - I love the metrics, as it's so easy to use. But then again, I lived in Europe for 6 years too ;). I'm very happy with my PFM40 from Big Dawg Dave Canterbury. Good content and thanks for sharing. Hiram would approve.

[@ebikecnx7239]

Glad you are enjoying the metric system, and also the PFM40, thanks for watching. Yes, Hiram Cook was the GOAT. Who doesn't love watching water boil?

The pathfinder m40 is not as sturdy as the original Swedish m40, but for the money it is a good value. Keep in mind it does not come with an alcohol stove, cup or alcohol container as did the Swedish m40.

[@ebikecnx7239]

You are correct, the Pathfinder PFM40 is a great design and we like to use it. Any ideas why the older, heavier M40 boils faster?

[@buckshot4428]

@@ebikecnx7239 That's a good question. I would have thought the lighter Pathfinder would be quicker. Maybe it's the difference in the steel as the Swed's are known for their quality steel.

[@misolgit69]

the problem with the Chinese titanium spirit burners (any brand) is apparently none of them have any wicking material inside the walls

[@ebikecnx7239]

Yes, they burn very hot and fast too. Inefficient but put out tons of heat if you need just to boil water only.

[@fromtheflightdeck252]

Does the Evernew have wicking?

[@misolgit69]

@fromtheflightdeck252 personally I don't know, but, judging by their prices I would hope so

[@ebikecnx7239]

@@misolgit69 thanks for the kind comments, the Tomshoo titanium might work best with our titanium Boundless Voyage 2-in-1 set. We will test that idea out..

[@Magoo652]

Vargo Ti burners don't have wicks. Reclaim fuel easily so no leaks to taint pot.

there's an Ebayer (UK)...woodlorien who makes handmade aluminium lids for various popular camping/bushcraft cooking systems, including mk1 and mk2 Crusader cups, Swedish M40/44 large pot, British Army large mess tin (also Dutch surplus), Yugoslavian surplus mess kit, and the latest the US army Arctic canteen cup

[@ebikecnx7239]

Thanks for the info, we were looking for who makes the lids. Don't forget to sub if you want to be in the 1000 subscriber giveaway.

Lid would be nice for frying pan.

unfortunately that would be a custom job​@fromtheflightdeck252

OK M8😂

Pathfinder took longer. No school like old school. Dave can keep the cheap stainless.

[@ebikecnx7239]

True, it did in this test, and we do like our M40 better. However, next test there was no difference. Then we discovered using the steel PFM40 potstand-windshield as a grill with charcoal and like the PFM40 more as a woodfire and charcoal grill! Thanks for watching, Happy New Year!
