[XxFoodLuvrxX]

[Survival101Guide]

[fa5te5t]

very useful tips,thanx

[afterthefox7]

you should have put in some Vienna Snausages.

[renzo260]

If you hate an invisible flame ( or safety reasons), you can try to add some very fine salt to the alcohol (10 grams salt per 1 liter alcohol...) This will give a light orange flame that is visible.. :)

I'd love a few tins of those, Don't sell them in the U.K i suppose?

[survivalkid2452]

@reddog694uk oh course they do sweetcorn comes in tins like that...

@joeyguy45

An ounce of alcohol lasts about 8 minutes depending on the conditions and if you have a windscreen. An ounce of fuel is enough to boil water, etc.

[aharvard62801]

what kind of alcohol are you using?

[MsSpy]

@aharvard62801

Denatured alcohol. You can buy it at a hardware store in the paint thinner section.

[Cventures]

Beans also have one of the highest levels of phytoestrogens of any food. Enjoy.

@MsSpy thank and any time

[jreaper23]

Awesome vid just wondering what kind of camera or camcorder are you using because that pic quality is amazing and again i love the stove

[MsSpy]

@jreaper23

I use a Sony Cyber-shot. It's very old and reliable. I use a high resolution setting when shooting video. Thanks for watching.

[ploetzlich30]

yeah! first putting the lid face down in the dirt, and then on that pot. DONT do this!

[MsSpy]

@ploetzlich30

Hah ha ... I didn't catch that until you mentioned it. Shhh! Don't tell anyone.

[DarthCelcius]

MRE matches :D

ive heard if you cook in aluminum cookware it puts

you at higher risk of alzheimers it that true?

[MsSpy]

@nroc13

There is no confirmation that aluminum contributes to Alzheimer's. Aluminum is found in many products and food, like deodorants, antiacids, etc. I've heard that using cooking with salt in aluminum is not good, but no proof of this either. It is uncertain whether cooking in aluminum plays a role in Alzheimer's. Thank you for your post.

[rlmarin1968]

In your first part (where you were cooking outside)...why didn't you just eat out of the kettle? When water is at a premium...why would you dirty yet another dish you'll have to wash. Just my opinion.

@rlmarin1968

Good question and thank you for watching. I used other dishes/items so I can give reviews on different items. I wanted to know how much food the GSI Outdoor bowl holds for those who want to know. I understand your point. In the wilderness, I only use the kettle and the plastic cup.

[rlmarin1968]

@MsSpy: Makes sense and I did enjoy the meal prep...made me hungry.

[mancunionproductions]

the gsi pot or msr titan kettle?

[malayrojak]

MMM beans... :)

Unfortunately, I think the poor person in close proximity to you AFTER eating that massive can would be weathering the "gaseous" effects...

[TheBeebopper]

put some salt in your burner, it will give a yellow flame.

[Wakis85]

Love the mini pie tin idea - would work well with priming a soda pop stove as well

[PacoWarabi]

I like this setup a lot (almost identical to mine!) Does not having holes in your windscreen affect the ability of your stove to boil water / cook food?

Thanks for putting the brands of all your gear. Makes them easier to look up.

[MsSpy]

@PacoWarabi The windscreen works very well with the MSR Titan because the pot is small and the windscreen is fairly wide (8" diameter). However, if I used a wider pot like the one you have it might be an issue.

[davidsquall351]

I think I will make one and try it out.

[immovable1]

its just beans! try some minute rice with half a chicken bullion cube and frog leg meat next time. like the tuna can stove, good job!

[Celticgal01604]

That's a great idea for a wind screen. I'd like to get something like that for the little German stove I have.

[formatC2]

nice setup!
