Campfire Mashed Potato Bowl with the Czech Mess Kit.

[@vitezslavvelik4146]

Hi, Jonh, greetings from Czech! Thanks for the review our mess kit. :) I have one also. Its very practical, sturdy and it last for decades. :) I usually make tea in the smaller one, and cook food in the big one. Bye!

[@davidbrown7904]

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Looking forward to your next upload :) I'm really running low on military surplus buying urges...Ha! God Bless You!

Great video! I watch your videos and decided to get a camping mess kit and went with the one you used on that cookout,, thanks for all the info and sharing

[@John-Sherwood-W4JFS]

Indianartifact awesome! Thanks for letting me know. It’s a great mess kit that will serve you well. Thanks for watching and for your comment!

Looks good John. Im going to have to make this once the snow melts. I miss these trips!!!

[@John-Sherwood-W4JFS]

tenderheart314 I miss having you on the trips. We will have to do a reunion one some day!

hi john i am an avid watcher of your vids and i have a few european mess kitsbut i have never seen yugoslavian kit shown by you i have two and find them excellent items well worth a look

[@danielbowman7226]

They make them stainless steel without the small loops. In Czech Rep they cost under 15$

[@sirguy104]

Thanks for the review.

[@iainb1577]

Always have regretted not buying the Czeck messkit when I saw it.I very much enjoyed seeing one in use. Decent surplus is getting hard to find in Scotland.

[@John-Sherwood-W4JFS]

IainB Sorry to hear that. I hope if you ever run across another one you are able to pick it up. It’s a nice kit to have. Thanks for watching another one and for your comment!

@@John-Sherwood-W4JFS Thank you I will keep my eyes peeled. Always enjoy your vids. Keep up the good work.

Great scenery shots! Got a stainless copy of this mess kit, really handy for rehydrating dehydrated meals or anything else that needs to not be kicked over or have dead insects in like water boiled to be potable for the morning. Good stuff, thanks for the vid!

[@John-Sherwood-W4JFS]

jelkel25 how nice is the stainless version? Is the thickness of steel good? I really like this surplus kit. It is one of my top three military mess kits even though it is aluminum.

[@jelkel25]

@@John-Sherwood-W4JFS Mines a cheaper one bought in an end of season sale so even cheaper but it's good. Helikon do a version that's probably better quality though I'm happy with mine. I have no problem with aluminium and would have bought the Czech set if I hadn't run into this one, it is a great design.

[@John-Sherwood-W4JFS]

jelkel25 ok. Thanks. I was just wondering because some remakes are not so good. I don’t plan on buying a stainless one anytime soon but I was just curious. Thanks very much!

That was definately a culinary adventure for me! Never heard of a kfc mash potato bowl. Looked like a great spot and some good times shared.tfs.👍

[@John-Sherwood-W4JFS]

Scoutforlife lol. It was fun to do. I just happened to have all the ingredients on hand. Here is a 15 sec commercial from KFC about my inspiration: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJWpkqmZpN2Nr7s Thanks for watching another one!

Oxxnarr D'flame Thank you! Thanks for watching!

[@OKBushcraft]

I was wondering if you would use the liquid in the cans to offset water consumption. Good looking meal. I've not gotten the Czech mess kit. Still debating the "need" but I may. Thanks for bringing us along, John.

[@John-Sherwood-W4JFS]

OKBushcraft thank you for stopping by. If you ever decide to pull the trigger on a Czech kit, I can be pretty sure it will serve you well. Have a good one!

Thanks!

[@birdie399]

Was it a tasty meal? Where you were camped made me think of the old Florida Boy and his canteen cup Tuesday. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@John-Sherwood-W4JFS]

birdie399 it was a very tasty meal. The Florida Boy and me are both live in Central Florida but I am closer to the Gulf of Mexico and he is closer to the Atlantic side. But our woods looks very much the same. Thanks for watching and for your comment!

[@monicajones8450]

Hey John, I picked up this Chinese ARMY PLA Military Issue Type 05 Stainless Steel Mess Kit . Just got it in the mail. I was wondering if you ever have seen one or perhaps you have one and what your thoughts on it are? It comes with a stove and some other accessories. I love your videos, . I love mess kits too. I have quit a few thanks to you. Haha. Keep haring.

[@John-Sherwood-W4JFS]

Monica Jones No I don’t have one. I looked it up to see the kit and it looks interesting. It coming with a stove and pouch is nice too. Where did you get it? Thanks for watching my videos. I’m glad you like my channel. Sorry I got you hooked! Lol. It can be very addicting!

[@leestephenson4952]

Looks good John. Made me wonder how those poor troops stuck in a ditch or hole for long periods of time kept there cooking kits clean.

[@John-Sherwood-W4JFS]

Lee Stephenson I don’t know but I can see why MREs are the thing now. Easy clean up. Thanks for watching and for your comment!

[@gijr2003]

What was the reason you didn't use the fire ring?

[@John-Sherwood-W4JFS]

The fire ring was just part of a old 55 gallon steel drum that got in the way when we were cooking. It was easily moved after the initial big part of the flames died down to coals and we put it back after we were finished cooking. With it in place it would have been harder to stir the food without getting burned.

Flung a craving on me buddy!! Thumb's up video~John

[@robertdutcher8081]

I bet that was a mess to clean up lol, but looks tasty.

That wasn't broth the chicken was packed in. It was plain water. Should have drained it.
