Simon, enjoyed your video. Just a thought for you. I was sationed in Germany with the U.S. Army when we changed from "C" rations to MREs. We would heat water like you did and heat the pouches in that water. Then use the hot water for coffee, we Yanks don't drink much tea, and it was a way to conserve water. We did this for quite a while before the Army informed us that wasn't a good idea. Seems the boiling water leached some rather harmful chemicals out of the plastic pouches. Didn't kill me but I thought you should know. I think the plastic used for the pouches has been changed since, I certainly hope so. You might want to check on your rations. It was during that time in my Army career that I also perfected the one canteen cup shave, shower, and shampoo. Order is important here. Be well.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Cheers William - don’t want shaving bristles in yer hair haha! That is a very good point about the MREs and one raised by a viewer before. I don’t know if they ever changed the packaging, would seam odd not to - why waste that precious water when you’re probably going to make tea or coffee to go with your meal anyway!! I’ve always done it that way and so far so good - no ill effects (yet!!! Hahaha) I should probably investigate further! Cheers, Simon.

[@trekkingturtle4157]

Very nice, thanks for sharing. Always interesting to see what sort of kit other campers use or create. The ammo can stove was interesting. Hot chocolate, for some reason the civilian stuff (that I've found) never came up to the level of the hot chocolate in the old "C" rations. One of the biggest treats was a ration that included a can of "John Wayne" cookies and a packet of hot chocolate. Ahhh, life in the field is good. And camping with your dog, hard to beat that.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Bacon grill, oatmeal blocks and hot chocolate were always a favourite in the older style Brit ration packs. 😋

Bought my daughter that same tent when she was six, they cost next to nothing then (before they were all over youtube). Removed the buttons and sewed it up with zip in one side. Even at 5'8 i find it a tad small so your side wall mod looks like a must-do. She's now 11 and we have had some good nights in it even in winter without a fire. In summer is where it really is best, the thick canvas keeps you from being woken from early dawn light. I can't see CO being a problem with a flue. I've spent many nights in a Lavvu (top smoke vent) with open fires inside. Thanks for the great videos.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Yes, they are great shelters/tents. Mine is the largest of the three sizes (3 grommet holes) and with the side wall is really spacious. Not tried it with an open fire, but the wood burner works really well. Cheers, Simon
