Nice review, what's the weight difference?

[BraveTheWilds]

@Doggieman1111 Not to sure. A lot.

I wish they made the boyscout style kit out of the stronger metal of the Colman as I prefer a flat style in my pack as to tall and round. I think that would be a winner in my book. One reason being, keeping the flatter style level on a fire is much easier. Another is in the pan style you can fry things side by side, not so much in the tall style. Nice video, ty.

@unclearless I agree man. Check out the MSR cook pots. I think that's what you (and I) are going for.

Dave has a somewhat unique vocal cadence and you are subconsciously imitating it. It's nothing bad, it's completely natural. It's kinda like picking up a British accent after you move to England or talking in a southern draw when you are in Alabama. I can definitely tell you watch his videos =) I do too, I like the Yurt ones... I also downloaded all the dual survival episodes and am watching those.

[BraveTheWilds]

@Ockall Haha, I guess after a couple hundred of his videos I would pick up a few vocal similarities. You're right brother, I can't get enough of the Yurt! I really enjoyed his overnight scout that he did with Jeremy yesterday, that one was good as well. I just watched 2 episodes of Dual Survival last night too!

I owned the first mess kit that you show, it was given to me by my dad when I was 9 years old which was given to him from his uncle when he was 16. I gave it to my son when he was six, it has lasted for the 30 + years my son and I have used it plus 20 + years my father used it before me. Same cheap metal only difference being the knob on the pot lid is made of wood. Remember to wash and dry & only use wooden tools (wooded spoons, bamboo turners) and it will last you a life time.

You don't have to buy a $80 dollar mess kit! I like that

I just modified my Coleman cook pot. I put a different handle on it so I can hold it like a mug and a bucket type handle so I can use it like a billy can. Pretty simple stuff but if I didn't explain it well and you want to see it let me know and I'll make a quick vid and I'll tell you when I get it on my channel.

Pretty good videos dude if you keep it up when you get older you probably be better tham a lot of other people out there. Some of my friends made fun of me when they find out bout me 'playn with sticks' as they put it if that happens when you get oldet dnt let it change you. You'll get way better with age good luck

Millions of good hikers have used that "cheap aluminum" scout type kit. A few dents usually mean. the user is careless. This kit works and will provide light weight tools. Each item is useful for the novice or experiennced backpacker. Many hikers use only cup, pot, and skillet.

I have kits that cost big bucks, but the standard scout kit often gets the job done with many options. Learn to use the scout kit before you spend big $. You may not need it. Go light - do it right. stonenstrop

try a rubber band. that

's cost effective and what i use

[FitnessForOldFarts]

Good job explaining the differences.

[gobangyourself]

You did a good job on your comparison. I had a cheap palco mess kit very much like the one you displayed when I was a kid in the seventies. that kit sucked but it worked and my family didn't have much money so I took good care of it and I used it till I was an adult. I boiled water in it and cooked all sorts of things but things always stuck to it. When I was in my twenties I bought a good sturdy peak one solo stainless kit which I still use today and I'm 48 now.

I have tried both of these kits I liked the Coleman stove I felt it was pretty sturdy. Recently I have been told to try the Jet Boil stove and I love it. It's expensive but to me it pays for itself. At night when I go camping I love to boil hot cocoa before I goto bed it helps my inner core to stay warm. But I hate taking out the multiple stoves to do it, it takes to long. But since I got the Jet Boil its seconds.
