MKII Crusader Lightweight Cook Kit

[@Bushcraft-xz6xd]

I have the mk1 kit and use a .177 pellet tin with carbon felt for the burner. The lid has a 25mm hole for simmering or use without the lid for full heat. Probably my favorite cook kit and bomb-proof!

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

thanks for the suggestion, those stoves certainly are bomb proof.

Mk1 cup with the mk2 stove is the way to go

[@SweeneyTTodd]

Agree'd , thats what i have done , the whole Mk1 cook set with the Mk2 cook base and a Trangia inside the cook base fits nice in the Mk2 crusader bag , good combo

[@Steve-hb4my]

Best BCB cookset comparison I have seen. Being from the U.S. I found it very useful. Well done.

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

thank you for the feedback I am glad you found it helpful.

[@Mick028]

The Mk2 comes into it's own if you're working in pairs (close ops, sniper team etc.) because it will take two pouch main meals at once, top up afterwards for two brews.

I love the way you are not perfect, like me, and have the occasional hiccup. Keep up the good work

[@jefferydoty5141]

Thanks for the video’s. I enjoy your humor. Keep up the good work.

Love my MK1 cup but I use it with an MSR pocket rocket stove. The MSR is still super small and super light but it cooks super super fast. Only down side is the gas cartridges are bulkier and more expensive.

I can't believe you have Safeway in the UK.

[@thecuttingsark5094]

You didn’t use the gen 2 cooker correctly

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

Absolutely right, thanks for visiting the channel

[@crabtree8822]

fuel burnt off quicker because cup holder not down on stove maybe another test boil with it down nice video .pellet tin with stove rope in side add meths or bio ethenal burns a treat

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

Thanks for visiting, yeah I think not having the handle down may have reduced the efficiency of the stove a little bit I only really use dragonfire in an emergency as it's quite expensive unless you can get some army surplus from eBay. The squeezy gel is good but I think it goes under a different name like vango these days

[@alexandergutfeldt1144]

You missed the opportunity to show us how to skin and clean your heroic kill! ... 😉I mean, can you imagine all the knife-cred points you would have picked up.

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

Hahah I wouldn't want to be the guy to sharpen my knife after trying to skin that!

[@alexandergutfeldt1144]

Mountain Bear outdoors But you could wax poetic on 'edge retention', 'steel toughness & composition' and then, after demonstrating god-mode knife sharpening skills, you could shave some hair from an arm, or leg or .. I mean, isn't that what bushcrafting is all about? Who has time to get hungry out there and cook a humble meal? All jesting aside, thanks for that intro, I loved it!

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

@@alexandergutfeldt1144 hahah I know what you mean, too many KZbin guys obsessed with the latest steels and shaving their arms, I prefer to have a little fun and not take myself to seriously 😁

[@PreparedCamping]

😂😂😂 you nearly spooked it doing your intro mate thankfully you already had the rifle loaded or you could have lost him All the best Roo

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

boredom is a terrible thing, thankfully the beans tasted just fine after being shot, i was a bit surprised the pellet went through both sides of the tin and bounced off the fence, oops!

[@PreparedCamping]

@@mountainbearoutdoors always check your back stop 😉

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

@@PreparedCamping yeah ive melted that bag more than a few times, i think the worst time was using the tiny BCB rectangle stove up on Beacon Batch in the mendips, the wind was so high my bag got nicely toasted but my brew was pretty luke warm.

[@lukedorrington7455]

2 tent pegs and you can use a trangia on the mk. 1 or even better make a 1 inch can stove it fits perfectly, my gen 2 doesn't boil water on 1 firedragon tablet but my mk.1 will bring to a rolling boil from 1 tablet

[@paulo5456]

Does the trangia fit into the Mk1?

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

no the trangia wont fit the mk 1 but will the gen 2

[@snowjoe43]

Where can I get a decent price on the metal cup here in the USA?

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

realistically you would have to try Ebay stateside, although its pricey.

[@in0124]

Had my mk2 cup 2 years now and it's tough but not anywhere near as tough as the mk1 cup , mk2 cup has started to chip around rim of cup and inside ,

[@mountainbearoutdoors]

yeah you can just tell the MK1 is the tougher bit of kit. thanks for stopping by.

[@davidlaw233]

Stick to your lighter 😅
