Petromax Percolator Le14 & Dead Mammoth Coffee Company First Impressions

This video was of myself and john out camping before Christmas and I had recently purchased an new Petromax percolator Le14 as well as trying out some great coffee at the same time, both performed as expected and was very happy with the results and quality of both items.
Thanks for watching

We had a percolator like that when I was a child. Maybe 55 years ago. I'm glad to see that they are still manufacturing them.

Thanks for watching, yes I love it and ideal for group camping.😀👍☕

[@wildernesspilgrim]

Definitely a robust piece of kit! The coffee was really nice too, just put my order in for some on the strength of tasting this brew!!👍😋🤜

[@wildernessnomad3785]

Fantastic m8 I should be receiving mine any day now lol I especially need it over the next few days lol, thanks for watching mate very much appreciated 🤜👍

[@t_poutsider]

That looks a good peice of kit, I'll look for a smaller version for my day camps 👌 cheers for sharing.

[@wildernessnomad3785]

Yes m8 to big for hiking and day trips but if vehicle Bourne or at a base camp fine, I now use coffee bags alot and dead mammoth do then also saves alot of messing around, as always m8 thanks for watching😀👍

Thanks for the great feedback glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching and commenting its very much appreciated 👍 🙏

I know this is old, but, using aluminum cookware has no negative health effects. Aluminum makes up 7% of the earths crust it's in the water you drink it's in the air you breath, it's only "harmful" in amounts that the average person will never come into contact with. That said quality stainless is always the better option if weight isnt a factor due to being much more durable.

[@wildernessnomad3785]

You maybe correct in what you say about aluminium but there have been scientific studies which may go against your argument, I will not go down that rabbit hole. but it is not a very good material to cook in of use on open fire as from experience it can melt on you and if over cleaned and scrup can get some rub off which I don't like the idea, everything is toxic to the human body but its the amount of exposure you get that depends on how toxic it may be, its just my personal choice 😉 funny you commented on that part of the vid and nowt else lol but I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment and it's very much appreciated 👍 🙏

[@LascielInviere]

@@wildernessnomad3785 "funny you commented on that part of the vid and nowt else" I was gonna comment on you using to much water, you filled it up to the holes of the pour spout that's to much, the water will come into contact with the coffee in the basket, but since this is an old video I figure you probably figured that out by now and I didn't want to be a dick and tell you how to make your coffee since everyone has their own specific way they like to do it. As for aluminum melting while cooking on a fire, you're not supposed to use it in direct contact with an open flame, a wood fire under the right conditions using the right wood can reach 1700F+ (800 to 900C+). Cast iron steel, and titanium are what you want if you want to cook on an open fire. That said even melted aluminum isn't dangerous (apart from you know, touching it while it's still hot), it becomes dangerous when it is vaporized which you would need to heat it to 4220F (2327C). Anyway cheers mate, hope you're enjoying your percolator, how is it holding up after nearly 2 years?

[@wildernessnomad3785]

Thanks for replying mate, yes the coffee pot is still going strong and producing awesome coffee, yes I did put 2 alot of water in just to show that it said it had 2ltrs capacity and it clearly didn't lol, and back to the aluminium that's why I choose aluminium because 90% of my cooking is on open fires and from experience when I started out I melted a few army mess tins lol, I mainly have steel, cast and titanium, if you look at my other vids you will see using an trangia that's made out of aluminium. Don't worry about being a dick mate if it's a genuine comment and not put out like your being a dick it will be recieved in the contest it was supposed to be, as always thanks for taking the time to comment back appreciated 👍

[@gavinmurray575]

Great video! Im looking for something like that for a long distance hike I'm planning for 2021. Do you think it would sit in a trangia 27 cooking set or would i be better looking for a smaller one? Keep the great videos coming . Thanks

[@wildernessnomad3785]

Hi there glad you liked the videos and thanks for the feedback very much appreciated 👍 the coffee percolator is far to big for hiking with more for a base camp of vehicle bourne trips, you can get filters which are folding and would fit in a trangia, I now use coffee bags for trips out as thay our quick,easy and less mess. 😀👍

[@JPLamoureuxsTravels]

Looks a Nice bit of kit Bruv 👍 I just love my aeropress too much to two time it lol 😂

[@wildernessnomad3785]

Lol thanks for watching m8 yes I have an aeropress 2 m8, both great bits of kit, thinking of getting the travel version of the aeropress. 👍

[@JPLamoureuxsTravels]

Wilderness Nomad I watched a review of the travel one, basically the aeropress is a travel coffee maker really the new ones not worth the upgrade imo....

[@wildernessnomad3785]

@@JPLamoureuxsTravels kool thanks for the heads up will have a look, but you are most likely correct m8👍🤜

[@head4thehills256]

Iv been looking at something like this for camp trips, looks perfect. Do you have a link from where you got it and can you get a smaller one at all?

[@wildernessnomad3785]

Thanks for watching m8 much appreciated, this is the smallest one of the stainless steel ones but its bomb proof bit of kit. I got it from Amazon m8, there are other options out there but this one looked good had good reviews and like I said is solid. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073P6DLDM/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_fEGjEb0XTB37R

[@wildernessnomad3785]

Here you go for a smaller one www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001LF3I20/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_eRGjEbW84JKM8

[@billyaitken1713]

🤔 For years I used an aluminium grenade tin as a mess tin 🤣🙀😜, maybeez that's why I has the dumb now😜🙄❗️looks quality, can't beat fresh coffee.

[@wildernessnomad3785]

Lol good effort for using the grenade tin, I've used a few ammo boxes in my time so probably well picked myself, 100% agree fresh coffee is so much better especially when done out in the woods, cant wait to get back out when the restrictions are over, as always thanks for watching and commenting m8 its very much appreciated 👍🙏🇬🇧⚔

[@billyaitken1713]

Quality content always sells itself👏👏👏

[@neon8410]

How long do you let it boil for?

[@wildernessnomad3785]

Hi mate, I believe it was for about 10 mins, I like it strong 💪 👍

[@fog360]

Two sugars in mine please be right over

[@wildernessnomad3785]

Getting straight to it m8 lol, thanks for watching m8😀👍

[@africantwin173]

Gsi vs Petromax

[@wildernessnomad3785]

I like them both and for different reasons what do you 🤔💭 think, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment its very much appreciated 👍🙏
