Free Soldier Camping Stove Review - Definitely Different

[@Buck1954]

The problem with a multi-use tool is that they are rarely good at any one thing.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Brad Taylor maybe. Except a claw hammer :-)

[@Buck1954]

Haha!

[@TheEarthandyou]

A bic lighter is great at opening beer. At least when you are really thirsty.....

[@toothytube]

The lone exception to that might be the original Leatherman® Tool. Most "if not all" of the tools work just as well as their individual counterparts among mainstream consumer tools. Even the little P38 style can opener is the only one I've ever used that actually works better than the original military issue version. And I've opened hundreds of cans of "C-Rats" with a P38. I also had a "knock-off" from Gerber and a "nice looking" Chinese clone, but neither one approached the quality and workmanship of the original Leatherman® Tool.

[@curtwinterstein1067]

Thank you for the review. It appears to be trying to do everything... It seems like "Gimmick" is what it does best....

[@chadjones4255]

A bad sign when the reviewer's blood is spilling all over the demonstration... Next review: chain-mail survival gloves. ;)

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I agree

[@bill65761]

Or any kind of glove or piece of cloth, actually.

[@Zanzubaa]

No, because chain-mail also protects against shark attacks.

[@rippy4freedom499]

Hold on Hold on, try using it just for food, cut a carrot, cheese grate, cookie press, veg chop, slice bread ?? .

[@Julian-bq9qv]

Ron Popeil could market that!! And if you order now, you could get a Slap Chop free, just pay postage and handling charges!

[@Perktube1]

Mistress JHolly It will do zucchini, linguini, martini, bikini!

[@hfortenberry]

Exactly! It's for cooking! Also, I think that "cheese grader" is meant to be used to create your wood shavings to make tinder.

[@BilgePump]

Oh yea good point

[@rufusintenn648]

Cheese Grader...the 11th "C" of survivability. LOL

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Quick! Somebody tell Dave. ;-)

[@GreencampRhodie]

+Survival On Purpose Lol

[@cathybumgarner3579]

Hahahaha

[@percymiller4570]

+Survival On Purpose Canterbury has turned on us. He sold out to the man. He used to be a mentor to me.

[@codelicious6590]

Grater.

[@Zanzubaa]

I had to like the video when he started throwing the stove parts like ninja stars.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

It seemed like the thing to do

[@jmtnvalley]

Gloves. It definitely requires gloves. Seems like the cheese grater was on the wrong piece. Thanks for the vid.

[@lucylu7389]

Indeed, where are your gloves, Bryan?

[@willamballard7857]

Who would have ever thought of a grater being cheesey lol I loved it 😆

[@thomasmckelvey7446]

That's a first! I have never seen someone be a crash test dummy for a fire stove. In the words of William Collins, "Take plenty of band-aids". LOL

[@kylehuang2361]

Why are there more chuck Norris jokes that Charles Bronson jokes? Because Charles Bronson is no joke

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

;-)

[@stepsofashaman...4283]

Kyle Huang yeah, but chuck actually sparred with Bruce Lee. can Bronson say that. toe to toe with a master...

[@wyliemitchell6442]

I guarantee Bronson hung around a bit with the Jun Fan Gung Fu group, as Marvin, McQueen did.

[@TheEarthandyou]

Charles Bronson doesn't bother us, but Chuck Norris has a bother character..... so we need to get even.....

[@JerryWDaviscom]

Charles Bronson was great. There is a truly outstanding "life of Charles Bronson" video on youtube somewhere, lots of stuff done on dead actors. Well done. As for this stove - The chinese words for "Free Soldier", actually mean "cheap chinese junk made with recycled biohazard metallic waste for yankee american"

[@richardweilandt3315]

You have no idea how hard I laughed watching you use a breakdown camp stove for other than its intended purpose. 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍 but it looks like a serviceable stove.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jimzee6954]

Free soldier makes some really nice tarps! Stove works. So thanks for the review!

[@Slumberjacksix]

"It hurts less". LOL. Good video. Thanks.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Best I could say

[@sandmanxo]

Finally! I can't tell you how many times I've been out on the trail and check my bag. Water, pasta, butter, milk, and a block of cheese all in the backpack, but no way to grate the cheese after cooking. This is the answer that everyone in the backpacking community has been waiting for!!!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I know, right?

[@kingsoutdoors4379]

The blade, grater, scaler would be ok for food prep...but I like My Titanium Firebox Nano

[@geoffnepo]

Honestly, this is like watching five guys changing a light bulb, and they're all tripping over each other while doing it

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+geoffnepo thanks for your helpful feedback

[@astrazenica7783]

now that's real dedication. saw one other review of this and they didn't dare try out the tools, only as stove. Good on him for mashing up his hands so we don't have to. Still not bad value mini wood stove

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Honestly, several people have suggested that the tools may be intended more for food prep. That makes more sense but I didn't think about it at the time. I see a blade and I think feathers, fire and flinging ;-)

[@leokline1ify]

risking life and limb in order to bring quality reviews to the viewers. I am standing and clapping. Great video. it was fun to watch.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

whatever it takes ;-)

[@ALWhiteAuthor]

The results of your testing on this stove system leads me to believe it would be best used whilst wearing a quality pair of gloves.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

No guts no glory

[@lildevilgamer]

For me it seems like it would really benefit from a pouch redesign. If you coud use the pouch to protect your hands from other "tools" when using a certain tool this could make sense, otherwise to me it looks more like a hazard than a survival tool.

[@tom_olofsson]

It is nice to revisit your classic videos.

[@randybradley7427]

The grater could be for making shavings to start a fire. Its cool

[@OtherThanIntendedPurpose]

this is one of the silliest things I have ever seen,

[@Tailsnpaws]

We have to hand it to Bryan...you even make the silly stuff entertaining. Thanks.. Hope your hands heal quickly.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

You mean you think this stove is silly?

[@Tailsnpaws]

Survival On Purpose Ha! Yes...any device that cuts YOU (several times) while using it is silly. You on the other hand are NEVER silly. Always professional.

[@MrSIXGUNZ]

15 minutes 42 seconds of fun lol!! heck extras could be a plus. dad always said I'd rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it lol!! thanks again sir !

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

It was fun to do

[@shaneforsythe1964]

when do you grate cheese, most ppl grate cheese over the meal once its cooked, but wait the cheese grater is hot on the stove. maybe make the cheese grater to be a door to cover the wood feeding hole, then remove it 3/4 way thru cooking to let it cool. there, it didn't take long to think of that did it.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Oh yeah. That's exactly what this thing needs. More moving parts ;-)

[@flindersadventures9410]

The only thing it didn't come with was a first aid kit to take care of all the cuts it gave you 😂. Great video brother

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

There may have been first aid tips in the instructions. -)

[@YaxisX]

Bryan, whoever designed that stove in the pouch is a very smart and inventive person, and I think that such people should give full vent to their creativity. Usually, when I think in terms of "survival" though, I steer away from carrying a lot of metal gear. In the end, it becomes a serious weight issue. As a young and poorly informed guy starting hiking years ago, I hauled an 80+ pound pack above the tree line in the Rocky Mountains, and I learned that metal gear us just a killer and a big energy drain. So I would think very carefully about packing metal other than a Marine Corps Mess Kit Canteen Cup, knife etc. However, I am very impressed with the inventiveness and the ingenuity of the fellow who designed this particular stove. I want to see what else is made by this person or persons. Good video. Keep'em coming.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Choices are important

[@TheTomBevis]

I never thought of a grater as a survival tool before...

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

You have to expand your mind ;-)

[@TheTomBevis]

It's slightly expanded, now. Thanks!

[@allieg6401]

I think the manufacturers have in theory a good idea it just still needs a few tweeks like a better way to hold the pieces when you want to cut them some sort of palm handle or that clips and unclips around the side and has a top and bottom latch to hold it on while sawing? BUT that's just for those of us (me) not smart enough to use gloves. Great upload love the 'bloopers at the end'

[@hfortenberry]

I like the stove. Really it's got all you need to make some wood shavings and feathers to create your tinder and then build the fire. And it doesn't have a bunch of parts to keep track of.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks for watching.

[@davej7458]

A stove that will more likely than not send you to the emergency room is not realy a plus in a survival kit.

[@Tnav02]

Good testing Bryan! Blood Sweat no tears ! Good close range weapon ,okay for a stove. Thanks again Bryan!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Tony Navarro thanks Tony

[@jeriatrix4526]

If ever I've seen an item that will end up forgotten in the bottom of your gear closet, this is it!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

It is already lost ;-)

[@denelll.bennettsurvivorwar8224]

*I Think This Stove Is THE ONE!* Have you heard of gloves? *I LOVE THIS STOVE!* I wish I could modify it somehow, so that it’d work better.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Gloves? I don't need no stinkin' gloves ;-) Seriously, to me this stove seems like a solution looking for a problem.

[@AlvaroDiazCastro]

...if you lost your knife but you still have your stove... hahahaha. great Bryan :)

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[@shawnsmith1865]

never seen a stove review video. this was helpful to see *How* to test equipment. very enjoyable.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Shawn Smith or maybe how not to in this case

[@watermain48]

Well done Bryan, you pulled it out of the fire. If it was half the price I think I'd pull the trigger, but not for $25. Thanks for the demonstration. Sorry about your hands getting banged up.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

It was worth it for the fun

[@btrswt35]

say what you will but I think the idea of a cheese grater is a good idea. It's probably faster and easier than carving feather sticks. If anything, maybe it should have been on a different piece of the stove.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I prefer using my knife. Just me I guess.

[@elliottrose2730]

I always where gloves. Good size for a backpacker'Stove maybe not so good for a multitask stove but like you said if you lost your knife it's better than a rock lol I like it.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Barely

[@IamNemoN01]

Take it from Tony the Tiger. "It's GRRRRRRRRRATE!"

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Groan

[@Cetok01]

An odd but interesting piece of kit. It would probably be wise to use a kerchief, gloves or other hand protection when using the auxiliary functions. I suppose if you lost your other gear...

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Odd is a good word for it

[@Cetok01]

They do make pretty good shuriken, though. ;-)

[@obliviontactical7974]

I think it's a cool idea. I wouldn't buy it solely for any of those tools but you never know when they could come in handy. I think if it as a portable stove, and the tools simply back ups to back ups. It would definitely be nice if I was stuck without a leatherman and a knife. I'm sure some people will say it's gimicky but I think it's pretty cool. I'd throw one in a bag or in my truck for sure.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Gimmicky? Now who would think that?

[@stevelucier8346]

Hand care is everything for me with having only one good hand. I would never work most of the features without hand protection. The least I would do is try to use the pouch it stores in in any way possible. I do like the ability to fasten it outside a pack. My bug out sling pack has several items inside that when needed can fasten outside the pack leaving room for things one can pick up and store in the pack. But the main feature I am looking for is the side holes. I watched a video with such a stove that had side holes and the man was sliding twigs in all around keeping the fire burning well all around. The only thing missing are cross pieces. If I would buy this I would make some. However I am leaning on fold out versions. Any hand injury can make a bad situation much worse for me.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

There are lots of other stoves of this style from many different makers.

[@Featheredprop]

Wow. That's a different kind of stove. Thanks for the review Bryon, it was an enjoyable video. Dane.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Different indeed.

[@OutDoorZombie]

LOL. Very funny review! Well done. Cheese grater. LOL

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[@BushOgre]

Needs to come with its own FAK and leather gloves.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

;-)

[@briargoatkilla]

Graters are always handy for tinder, making medicine, heck even hash browns. It's a good addition to a sheet metal stove. The other stuff could come in handy if the OPFORs miss it on a weapons search. Screw it, I'm buying one.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

It actually worked pretty good on the fatwood.

[@georgev5620]

I'm curious about whether the manufacturer actually calls it a "cheese grater". It looks like it is intended for and works great as a grater for fatwood or similar materials. All the other stuff is just extra. At $28.28 on GearBest, it's not priced much differently than similar stoves, and it's even less expensive than some that I've seen. This one is bigger than the one I have. I'm ordering one!

[@georgev5620]

FYI, GearBest does not have these in stock to fill orders. At check-out, my credit card was denied, so I tried a second time because there is nothing wrong with my credit card account. Figured maybe a number got transposed or something. About 5 minutes after I tried to place my order, I got a text message from my credit card issuer (Navy Federal Credit Union) asking me to verify this purchase order from CHINA. NFCU was just looking out for me against unauthorized charges. I replied that it was a valid purchase. Delivery time on the GearBest website says 5-7 weeks. Now I don't know if I am going to receive and be charged for two of these! I'll know in 5-7 weeks! If anyone orders from the link to support this channel, be aware of that.

[@georgev5620]

After first denying my credit card because my credit card issuer verifies international orders, GearBest ended up processing THREE orders for this stove. Their online-chat customer service rep was an idiot and couldn't help me. I think/hope I was able to get these orders cancelled through their website, but I'm not sure. I tried to support your channel by ordering through your link, but because of the 2 hours of hassle I went through because of it, I won't be doing so again.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Seriously? That is ridiculous! I am going to copy your comments and send them to my contact at Gear Best. I am really sorry you had such a hard time with this. I actually checked the website before I did the video and the delivery time was just a few days. Please let me know if you get charged for all three. Send me a private message or use the email link on my About page on KZbin. Comments have a way of getting buried and I don't want to forget this.

[@finefinefineverygood]

Very thorough review. Thanks man.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks for watching.

[@finefinefineverygood]

Thanks for making smart and actually helpful vids.

[@bangalorebobbel]

I would not recommend this thing as your only kit for survival, but in a scenario where you have a knife and just in case you loose it or destroy it you can do some of its tasks with your stove, it makes definitely sense. Better this one with additional functions than any mere folding stove. But, just to say it: every tool requires the right technique to work with. Trying to hold it like a knife creates bloody side effects. Keeping it between your feet on the ground and pushing things over the edge, saw etc makes more sense, requires less energy and allows you to completely avoid blood loss ;-)

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

that doesn't sound even a little fun ;-)

[@bangalorebobbel]

yes the real fun comes only when You try that method - I bet it takes you quite some while to become familiar with that technique :-))) In fact I have never seen it nor even heard about this technique before I came to India. But here, many people in rural areas use billhooks as one of their major tools, some seem not even to have anything else for food and firewood preparation. So you can often see ladies sitting on the ground in front of their house, holding a huge billhook between their feet, and cutting any vegetables. Or you see some old fishermen's old wives sitting on any market, cutting fish in that way. I found the principle very interesting - instead of using knife and cutting board, they simply keep the tool on the ground, edge towards the sky, and cut. But it definitely takes some experience, as I can tell from my own trials ;-) About the stove, ok ... meanwhile there are so many items sold under "survival" label, I never mind ... means, of course: who would need in a real survival situation a stove if there are three stones or three sticks available ;-) But to see such products (or even better: such product reviews) is really great fun and entertainment, and fodder for the brain, if one wants. (so, just btw: thank you! ;-) And such a stove is for sure another nice collectible item for gear freaks with a loose money bag, and wow, even so much cheaper as these wonderful overbuild titanium stoves (of which i got one a couple of weeks back but I still doubt whether to review it, since I am known for my frugality and don't want to destroy my image) ;-)))

[@jimbronaugh]

The various blades look more like tools for food prep than for chopping wood. I don't know the stove, but for an ultralite hiker point of view it was not too bad.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Jim Bronaugh I think that is probably their actual intent

[@waltero3035]

I have something similar and work really great for its purpose. A Firebox. But those fold down and doesn't come with those other gadgets. That's cool stuff! Great review! Mabuhay my friend!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks for watching.

[@nissanlord]

The best part of this stove is its a ninja throwing stove lol

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

That was fun

[@nissanlord]

+Survival On Purpose haha actually worked well too.

[@survivalcomms]

The designer took multi use to a new level !

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Yep, but was the elevator going up or down?

[@survivalcomms]

LOL good point. I think using the wrenches without welding gloves would have resulted in some grievous wounds.

[@scoutsniper485]

Bear grylls makes a tinderbox with a magnifying glass and a cheese grader built in. Excellent for making tinder

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Cool

[@coocookachoo2806]

You should have used it to rebuild the engine in your truck.

[@codelicious6590]

Better than a rock yet inferior to nearly everything else- an iceskate, a door hinge, a chunk of kitchen sink...

[@CastawayHikes]

A cheese grater on a camp stove, of course! I'm just imagining what the sharks on Shark Tank would say about this lol

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Aaron El i'm sure Mr. wonderful would love it

[@johnhoward7298]

LOL by the time You get the feathers and the dust burning.... the fire will burn out before You can get the stove put together !!!! ( BTW how many bandaid come with it & dose it come w/first aid manual )

[@kurtbaier6122]

Like the grater! I use the aluminum Coleman folding stove with a foil pan bottom for $7.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Cool

[@handmade3681]

This man is battoning wood with a wood stove, let's all let that sink in.

[@tiberiu_nicolae]

But the cheese grater got in the way...

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Indeed.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Doesn't that just grate on your nerves?

[@matthewgottung3182]

YES!!! I love the Norris!!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I'm glad you like them

[@MoranGuyVideos]

What is the next generation of stoves ???? A robot which function as a coffee machine, stove , tent , knife , multi tool.... haha

[@frostysoutdoors4135]

Looks like it works good as a stove

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I suppose

[@mrmack3772]

Hey Brian, instead of chewing up your hand, why not use the stove's carrying case to protect your hand when doing various tasks. I doubt if you would cut you that way. Give it a try. You can fold that case to any thickest needed to protect your hands. So do all of those task again using the case as protection and then tell us what you think of the stove's features.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Let me think about that for a minute........nah. ;-)

[@pastoramoscarmichael5986]

the cheese grater is good for shaving wood for fire starting ,I have one in my edc kit

[@jhgoldengt3420]

Video suggestion: must have Gear to ask for Christmas OR Gear That Every Boy Scout should have. I need a good video like that lol

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I did a series last year on "Best Gifts Under $XXX". I may do something similar this year.

[@jakesshopandtracktalk1835]

When Chuck Norris was in the Air Force the guards at the gate showed him ID when he came on base.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I like that

[@Perktube1]

[@AndrewSimpson-us9lf]

Seriously it's not bad as an extra to toss in a bug out bag. I like other stoves better for regular use, but for 21 bucks. I'll take it.

[@redhedkev1]

Maybe it should come with a first aid kit. I've never seen a flat metal bio-fuel stove used as a Ninja weapon before...kudos for that.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Kevin D. Herlihy just having some fun.

[@rxcess754]

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

;-)

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Looks like the case held up well to the fire... This thing really is ridiculous. Thanks for the laugh Brian!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Glad you liked the video

[@gierhedd75]

That was a very generous review, sir. I suppose if you lost everything, like you said, you'd be happy to have anything at all. But I'm questioning this one. I think a nice sharp piece of chert would be more useful. I think the Chinese just missed the point with this one. I'm thinking one of those hex holes is probably some wacky size like 13/32" too.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

But it was definitely fun to play with.

[@tangozulu]

thanks for the video Brian, I don't think I will be replacing my saw and knife with one of these but if your in the market for this type of stove the added benefit of all the extra edges are worth it I guess. oh yeah, the best use of all was the throwing stars! :D

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I actually had fun making this one

[@Mark-ol2ll]

I will be going with the Folding Firebox. Since it will be in my pack, I am thinking of getting the Nano.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Good stove

[@tom_olofsson]

Unique is a good word for it.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

That would be one word for sure

you did a great job looking at this all in one stove. thanks for posting

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks

[@allanthompson9695]

In the right circumstances, it could be very useful. Not seen them before.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Neither had I

[@toddcox8436]

Great video as always. Thank you much.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks

[@dieselstruck]

Ok, why couldn't it just be a stove?? No! All those tools don't belong in a freaking stove!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

But they are fun

[@scoopdedoop2673]

wondered where the rest of the first vid went, no fire was made... Great vid Bryan

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

IT was different

[@KCSmith1]

That piece with the searated edge would work well in the kichen...to cut vegatable with a decoratve slice.

[@Tnav02]

Hey Bryan! By the time you get the video done you'll be able to compare scars with Frankenstein! LoL ! Great video Bryan! You're the Man!! Thanks 👍

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks for the support!

+Survival On Purpose 07:04

[@roadhandviking2741]

A lot of companies have gone way overboard with multiuse/ multitool ideas in my opinion. Some things do what they're ment for and that's all. It did provide a good video . Enjoyed it as always

[@normanmallory2055]

Perhaps not a chopper of wood or a splitter , seems to be a stove that will work for a person out in the forest...I'm uncertain of the cheese grader but if one is out in the forest and that's all you have with you, well one thing you have is time on your hands, and you are hungry and need to cook something and warm up.. different approach i guess you could say..

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Norman Mallory you could definitely say

[@dfernandez3482]

I would love to use the cheese grater on the ferro rod and make all kinds of sparks lol

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Hmmm.

[@zook4886]

With out all the bells and whistles, that’s a larger take off of the English pocket stove.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Cool

[@timleaning6695]

thank you I will go look

[@Micsnutty]

First time I've seen your channel. Will definitely have to look for other vids too. :) Regarding how hard that was on your hands - I'm a person who will tweak most kits, & I'd probably do that here... I'd add a piece of the soft grippy stuff (silicone?) you can use to help open tightly sealed jars or place under hot dishes, etc... I'd cut a piece to the size of the oven pieces (or double if room), and put it in the package as part of the stove kit. Then if you need to do something where you are holding a sharp or biting edge, you can put the soft grippy silicone sheet between your hand and it. Kinda cool kit though. Very multi purpose. Sure it's not the best at anything, but it should work at being adequate for a lot more situations than you usually think of for a stove kit!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I actually think the tools are for food prep

[@earlelzy9975]

I think the multi-tool stove is a pretty good idea for processing wood and maybe some meat. He should have used gloves for a better demo.

[@timcushman2834]

The fishing spear, and now the stove gets you. a good pair of gloves might help. lol

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Gloves? Now why didn't I think of that? ;-)

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

That might have just ruined a good pair of gloves

[@lrrp692]

nice concept but not sure how practical......love my ember lit fire ant

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Practical? Since when do product engineers worry about practical?

[@kevinmccarthy6718]

I just now came across this video. I think you said, lot of better stoves in this price range. The multipurpose part is very unique, maybe just to in a bug out bag, along with a good pair of gloves to cut down on the injuries! You looked like you had some directions on that card? I don't know about grating cheese after you have soot on it, would add a very distinct taste! Thanks

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

It is a solution looking for a problem

[@Skills2survive]

Definitely different.... Thanks for sharing

[@cnawan]

That saw could benefit from a couple of holes to make a bucksaw out of it - or you could ditch the weight and make a swedish torch or dakota firepit or 3 rocks or....

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Or.......

[@sergebedard5746]

Maybe with some leather gloves or even an handkerchief wrap around it would be less painful good review thanks

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

That would take all the fun out of it.

[@MDPrepper]

So short synopsis: wear gloves while using the stove's "additional" features?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Exactly
