Another Way To Use a Double Poncho Tent, and a Swiss Volcano Stove

http://survivethewild.us/ - I went for a hike late in the afternoon to enjoy the great outdoors and also to show yet another configuration of my homemade poncho tent setup. This configuration is very useful for housing 2 people, or when it's cold and windy and need to stay in, secure from the elements.

Also, I bought one of those swiss volcano stoves to try it out as a lightweight cooking system. I used the new military issue pyropac fuel gel, which is the relacement to the solid trioxane bars

Can you just put a tablespoon of sterno in that thing for fuel?

Maybe make a little aluminum cup to hold it or use the metal cap from something?

[survivethewild]

@fastacker2 I don't see why not, try it out and let us know how it goes! You can do a video response.

I found 6oz pyro packs for $25.00 each. That seems like an awful lot of money for 6oz?

Does it list the percentage of alcohol in it?

I'm kinda thinking that hand sanitizer would be the way to go. They list 62% alcohol content and is much more cost effective.

What do you think?

[survivethewild]

@MrBillTroop73 I don't know where you are looking for them, but I think on eBay you can find them for much cheaper.

@dinnerandashow

So you know where it comes from, in the case you like what you see in the video.

And you go to your local Army surplus

and say something like, [ I wanna mess kit like the one in that video I saw on YouTube!]

Now you can say [ I am looking for a US.GI. Or a Swedish mess kit ] that is why...

[supermikeymichael]

cant you cook bacon or something with the stove .maybe put a mess tin on top instead of the cup thing:)

nice tarp shelter.

[dinnerandashow]

Why does the cooking gears have nationalities?

@leakyspacesuit hey ive heard about risk of melting or deforming the aluminum, i just got one for my solid fuel needs and i cant wait to see its work ethic, anything to focus on maintaining my unit in its condition? or do i just have to be careful for the first dozen times until it gets heat conditioned with the carbon? thanks!

How do you pack up your ponchos? Is it bad to stuff them extremely tight in a small stuffsack?

Good Video, I only have a couple of comments. I didn't see you check for "Widdow Makers" before you set up your shelter under that tree, or tumbeling degris uphill. Secondly, using your stove uphill and on that rock you can run the risk of the wind or clumsey acccident that would knock the burning stove into your hooch. you're shelter was on the down hill side. You are going to be in for a cold night if you burn your shelter up. Good video. Thanks

Nicely done.

* Bad case scenario; dig a small catch pool, drop wall or flat'ish rock, and drain/ovrflow culvert off and out to the side.

** Can use pole(s) and hood as top vent so you could have had soup in your shelter, still been dry, warm and breath. Sloppy-V with small part of v in hood. Draw strings open or close hood for more/less venting.

*** I like to clear my area prior to laydown or setup. Don't wanna shelter over snake hole, mouse den, etc. Brush the area back B4 I leave.

[leakyspacesuit]

you're cheating with that stove by using gel fuel. I've been using mine for years now. It's black from smoke. I always use a handful of twigs. Just a handful of whatever twigs are laying around will easily boil a cup of water. If it's wet out, use the inner bark of cedar or juniper trees or something.
