Success with BCB MK2 at last

BCB Osprey MK2 stove, tried and tested, using meths and Trangia burner, for stealth camping.

[@fatmanfaffing4116]

I have a Mk1 and love it. I use the fire rope method and find it is very efficient. Liked and subbed.

[@edwarddeleon6211]

A great video I'm like you just started using the BCB and leaning how to but I use the Trangia stove only your videos are great I enjoy watching them thanks for sharing

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks for your encouraging comment Edward 👍 hopefully I'll begin filming again soon. Harry

Simpler. Better. You know. Beautiful to see you. D😎🇺🇸

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks bro, all is good 👍

This is my go-to cook system. My wife bought me my MkII two years ago and I haven't looked back. Its versatility is its standout quality with the different fuel choices available. My preference is a trangia, meths with a 10% water mix and windshield. This allows me to snuff out the burner as soon as my water is ready and no wasted fuel. A full trangia will usually offer me 4 good burns, sometimes 5 which is more than enough for a hot dehydrated meals and a brew. I strap my windshield to the outside of the supplied pouch with a couple shockcord bungees. Thank you for sharing and take care.

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

That's so very helpful and informative 👍thank you for that. All the very best to you. Harry

[@mattwatkins6282]

Nice one Harry - I recently converted my MKII stove with stove rope and was surprised and chuffed at the increased performance. Will take your advice on the windshield for sure. Take care!

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks Matt, good of you to say. Wishing you well with your innovations. Harry

[@mikemullins8020]

I built a fire rope stove in a round tin that fit into the fuel ring. That way, if I want to use my trangia, I can easily remove the rope stove. I can use whatever fuel I desire.

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

That makes good sense 👏 and all about innovation. Cheers.Harry

[@paganoutdoors3193]

Glad to see you got the issues you had with it sorted Harry, I used my mk1 all weekend with my firerope stove and meths, from first light to middle of the night, very cold, all about fuel prep with the meths ,my son loves his mk2 system with meths stove, thank you for doing some more testing, enjoyable video, good health and safe travels my friend, cheers craig 🙏 🌿

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks Craig, glad you are a meths addict like me, 😁😁😁, seriously though, its a great fuel all round. Wishing you well. Atb. Harry

Hi Harry. Thank you for taking the time to explain and demonstrate everything. Stya safe. ATB. Nigel.

[@stealthandysteath1069]

Morning brother, good on ya 👍🔥. Meths doesn't like the cold. So always keep it in your pocket mate. Just a tip. ✌️Tc Andy

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks Andy. Will do. Harry out.

One of life's simple pleasures ... brewing up in the woods, chilling out for 15-20 minutes and letting nature wash over you. I keep experimenting ... hexy, BCB folding stove, Crusader Mug cooker, wood stoves, jet boil, meths ... they all have their pro's and cons. I was not keen on dragon fire gel at first BUT its grown on me and i can see why the MoD switched over too it. I especially like that it can be used as a soap/disinfectant/hand sanitizer ... lights easier than hexy and is great as an emergency fire starter.

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

I do believe that you are right Beil. I may give jekk cubes another chance sine day. Cheers 🍻

[@vs123]

I like forest

[@neanderthaloutdoors9202]

Hi Harry, I use dragon gel quite a lot with the MK1 and like it, yes it does burn a bit fast but it's quite clean, doesn't really leave much residue at all and does the job admirably. You had a good day out then bud with the trial and error method and more importantly you got a hot brew. All the best for 2022. Paul.

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks Paul. Your comments are greatly valued. I am beginning to feel drawn back to jell cubes as a viable option once I use up all my other sources. Look forward to seeing your magnificent three out in dpm again this spring. All the best to you and yours. Harry and Helen.

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Good stuff Harry. I keep meaning to try the meths with 10% water. Maybe on my next outing. Always good to see you have a video up. All the very best pal

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks Ant, bug out season is drawing closer so I guess it's time to prep and get fit again ha ha ha. All the very best to you. Harry

Kit review and a physics lesson... Great upload as always. ATB

Thank you Nightwalker, appreciate that. All the very best to you. Harry

Hi Harry, good old test there and some good advice. I love my crusader set but haven't used it for some time. I usually use the trangia with it. I've never tried the rope but you've prompted me to have a go. Good going. Have a great week. Mark

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks Mark. Indeed, the rope system is so clean and easy. Even for an old army hand like your good self 🙂

[@WyeExplorer]

@@FlyingHaggisFilms A pleasure Harry. It looks a good system.

[@deeps2761]

Thanks for having another bash at it Harry, I've not got either Crusader and really can't justify another cooking system but I like to see how they 'behave'. Like you I'm a fan of the meths but haven't tried diluting with water, I know they burn cleaner but in your opinion are they harder to light when you add that 10% or so of water ???

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks for your kind comments. Actually, even the half water and half meth mix lit relatively easily with a match, although in anger I would not take any risks, however, 10% dilution is safe and clean. Atb. Harry

[@deeps2761]

Thanks mate, I really should give it a go. Looking forward to your next adventure.

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Correction half litre mug quarter full boiled in 4min

[@questions6746]

If you reckon it could have been quicker then full it live with no cuts and show us.

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Roger that.😅

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Actually bud, I've reverted to the mark 1 and gifted the bulky and energy losing m2 ti a willing soul. Hapoy days when one simplifies kit and de clutters. 🙂
