So quick note.. I know it is the first time of you using the kettle, but I would like to offer a bit of help. I only watched half the video thus far but I would like to take a moment with the two pieces of metal that make a stand. Once they are slid together put them in the top of the kettle. It is designed to fit into the top of the stack. This way you are able to boil water and cook at the same time. I personally don't have one but today is possible the day I order one. Thank you and God bless.
@@thequietherbalist1741 It's good for things that need high heat for a short period. For things that need a lower consistent heat, better to use the hobo stove attachment.
When starting your fire and it gets split face the hole the way the wind is coming to it it was designed for windy weather in Ireland it's a very good stove some people just don't like it which is okay if you think about it you getting water boiling and a fire going at the same time a lot of hobo stoves won't do that it's just a preference I like it and it's all compact saves a lot of money I'm buying other stuff what they already have in the Kelly kettle do the math it's a lot cheaper to buy the Kelly kettle the ones who are negative about it are trying to sell something different this was an ingenious thing made it'll be in my backpack every time and small kindling about the size of a q-tip is what makes it work quick and fast that was the point that they were shooting for where this was invented because it was cold and windy when it breaks down if someone had to rely on something like that in the situation the Kelly kettle would come through all the time 100% and little limbs about the size of q-tip are always dry on the trees and they burn fast common sense love your video keep up the great work
I was going to say the same thing. It would work great to heat leftovers while your water boils without wasting all of that escaping heat! Glad someone else thinks like me😊
Hai hai what a big surprise. I saw your video about the Kelly kettle but when you finished you pray the gospel. Amazing. Ian from Holland and I know Jesus He is my life and saviour. Thank you for your blessings also for you
I love my kelly kettle. I respect the fact that it is an "old" technology, tried and true. I am trying to rely less and less on new technology which I feel is making us weak, less skilled, and dependent. So glad you love the kettle too.❤
I am the same - trying to find the old tested and truly amazing inventions that our forefathers had in their day! I want no more of the 'new' technology!
😅 Technology doesn’t make you weak unless you are already weak … tools are only as good as the user using them … use what feels natural to you, be more discriminating in what you use and you won’t have to blame other things for the gaps in your self confidence
Thanks for posting this. Never saw a kelly kettle before. Having been caught in blizzards in the Colorado Rockies before, when driving for work, I keep a rocket stove and a single burner backpack stove with basic utensils, pots, cups, and a couple days worth of food in my truck. I'm thinking one of their Scout kettle sets would make a great replacement for that setup as instead of having all these separate bags, I could have it packed into one sack. Would still have the backpack stove as it's possible to get caught in a blizzard on the plains where there's no wood source. Plus, the chimney up the center would allow it to heat up faster. One time I took a back road as the main highway was getting clogged. 5 minutes after I got off the highway, traffic came to a stop because of accidents. Some people were stuck for 30 hours and the national guard had to come out and bring food and water to the stranded motorists. This is why I travel prepared (also carry snowshoes, a sleeping bag, and some other supplies)
I have a small ziplock with a piece of fatwood, some folded up tinfoil, and a lighter. I used to carry a small bag with a few homemade fire starters made from soaking dryer lint with paraffin wax in cardboard egg trays (each 1-egg section will burn like an emergency candle for 20-30 minutes). I have a small first aid kit, a water filter, an emergency blanket, and spare rain gear in my truck. I don't live where it gets cold any more, so no worries there. When I used to live in the desert, I always had water in my vehicle. It is always good to be prepared, and it is way more fun to be the guy who shares some help than the guy who hopes for some.
Don't park your truck in my town or all that neat stuff in your truck will disappear within seconds after you lock the door and walk away. Maybe even the truck too!
Christa, this is the first time I have seen your video, and I have to say that I'm impressed. Being of Irish descent, I wanted to see you with the Kelly Kettle. My grandmother's maiden name was Kelley. I love the outdoors, especially the woods and mountains, and food just tastes better when it's cooked over an open fire. But you put the icing on the cake when you ended with a scripture. That touched me spiritually. May God richly bless you.
My husband bought me a Kelly kettle a while back. We put it away and haven’t used it yet, we’ll, after watching this I’m going to bring it out and put it to use now that the weather has cooled down. Thank you for the scriptures you share, it’s always something I look forward to.
As a child I remember the Fishermen on Lough Ennell in Ireland use them to make some tea! I bought one this time last year and was so sad to discover that they aren't made in Mayo, Ireland like they used to be. If you see any recordings of WW1 you'll see a Kelly Kettle steaming up the battlefield as they were used extensively in that conflict.
I work all over the South Western parts of the UK providing safe areas for the people working in the roads. My Kelly Kettles get a lot of use. These kettles are amongst the best bits of kit I have ever bought. A FANTASTIC bit of kit!!
Your videos are super helpful. I love how clever and practical your tips are. And you are such a lovely person! You are helping the world stay informed.
Hey there, I’ve seen a few others comment but wanted to clarify also. Firstly, leave the “whistle” bung in until you’ve lifted the kettle from the base pan. When lifting hold the bail handle at 90 degrees to the top with both hands. That way you avoid burning your hands or the kettle tipping. Many other vids on YT showing this being done. Second, the metal supports can be used on top of the stove to allow for heating other things whilst boiling water. I’m guessing you have the newer version so those supports can also be used as legs under the base pan to avoid scorching the ground, useful in dry areas. And a minor last point, the grill is intended to go directly on the base pan. Let the fire burn down to coals and then place it on there. Really hope you enjoy using the Kelly kettle, I know I have.
I tried to buy the whistling bung plug from Kelly Kettle. The wanted $6.99, $5.50 shipping and an unknown Tax. My phone #, adddress, credit card info. Even before I could know my total to pay. I told them what to do with it ! Pay Pal stinks too. Don't use them, ripping people off !
Yes! What Brian O'Connell says is probably the BIGGEST advantage of the Kelly Kettle Kit over most other small camp stoves. You can begin cooking bring your water to a boil AT THE SAME TIME.
I’ve had my Kelly kettle for a couple of years now put away as a prep but you have inspired me to get it out and use it on our next camping trip. Thank you for this video.
Nice demonstration. The first time I used mine, I put my Fancee Feast alcohol stove under it. It increased the fuel efficiency so much. It is truly an awesome and versatile "kettle".
FYI: The New Stanley Adventure 2 & 4 person Cook Sets work amazingly well with the Kelly Kettles, plus the 2 person pot fits inside the 4 person pot & the Stanley cups, bowls & spoons fit right inside them. They add another layer to your outdoor cooking on the kettle along with adding some suitable utensils.
I added a KA-BAR Spork to my kit. It is a Fork, Spoon & knife all in one. Very rugged too. Could be carried as a self- defense weapon if need be. It looks very docile till you pull it apart. Exposing a rugged knife! I bought one for each of my family and put them in our stockings for Christmas.
I’m so glad I watched this. I have a kettle and haven’t used it yet so your instructions were really healthful. It’s funny I got it over a year ago cause somethIng (🙏🏻) was telling me to do it. It’s so cool that when we listen we hear. I’m sure you get the same ideas from our instructor as long as we pay attention. He’s telling us what to do. Be well and god bless. ❤️👍🏻🖖🏻💪🏻🙋🏼♀️🐾🐾🐾
My Kelly Kettle ultimate base camp was just delivered and I am so excited to open it and check it out! A little strange maybe, but I asked my husband for it as a 30th wedding anniversary gift 😊. I haven’t done much camping, but am trying to build up the tools I need to take care of my family in case of emergencies…and maybe we’ll be inspired to do some more camping now that we have this Kelly Kettle 😁. Thank you for the great intro to it! I do hope you will do more videos with it, and with traditional rocket stoves as well.
IIRC, the two interlocking pieces that you show at 8:50 are meant to be assembled and inserted into the top of the kettle. You can use it as another cooking surface.
I have never heard of this until now. It's pretty cool. I like that it works with wood-which you can find pretty much everywhere(for free). Ingenious; thanks for posting this!
Christa I am SO GLAD too see this video, not only do I love and anxiously await new videos but I've had this on my list for awhile and watching you use it makes me sure I want to pull the trigger asap. As far as videos I would love to see you cover two things: how to handle security as a woman, especially around the home and homestead, and what to do and how to handle a 2to 3 week long power outage. Best ways to cook, light, do laundry, etc. I respect you and your content and perspective so much and I know others would gain as much knowledge from these videos as well as I would!! Hugs!!
Wow...this is fantastic. You present things so beautifully and I thank you for all of your work. At one point I thought it was going to take off!!!! Bless.
I’ve had my Kelly for quite a while, and am a firm believer in its versatility and uniqueness. I use it for canoe, boat camping etc. it is also always in my hunting camp, and my 4x4 for off road excursions. A great piece of kit for sure! 🙏🏻👍🏻
Great video. Thank you for showing how versatile this system is. We have all 3 sizes of this kettle & have been using them for years. They work amazingly well.
The Kelly Kettle is a capable piece of kit that permits boiling of water and cooking where there’s no gas or other fuels. Feeding and sustaining the flame is the challenge but it’s a good bit of kit.
I’m a new subscriber! I can’t thank you enough for how helpful and thoughtful you are to show us different off the grid solutions. May God bless you always my sister. 🙏🏽
40 years ago I was reading about the nomads of the desert 🏜of the Middle East. They had kettles made out of copper/bass with chimneys that went up the center theirs were open pans to make soup or sauce, so they could dip their bread in the soup in a group. If I could draw you a picture,it would be easier to explain. The Kelly Kettle is new and improvement on a very old idea.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and "maiden voyage" experience with this clever invention :) I've been considering adding one of these to my kit for quite awhile ... Lord Willing, I'll invest in the stainless version, myself. You've blessed my day, Christa! God Bless you as well
If you had to survive in post apocalyptic woodlands, doing so would be a whole lot more endurable with a Kelly Kettle and the company of this delightfully charming lady. Nice vid.
A western version of the Samovar, in other words. However, a long vertical tube is usually placed as an extension on top of the Samovar to prevent the flames from coming out into the open (as they do with the Kelly Kettle), thereby preventing accidents or fires.
Wow, you are wonderful ! I would love to be your camera man. I was brought to tears when you said to bless another person. I do that all the time. It makes everyone feel wonderful. Most folks need that in todays crazy world. They thank me too. You are inspiring and uplifting. Praise the lord !
How clever! I love stainless steel and glass. I also love the Kelly Kettle...thank you for sharing the how-to! Perhaps I will purchase the large one next month. God bless you.💕💓💕💚🕊💚
Krista, just a quick side note lve been using for years, if you have a clothes dryer at home for laundry, when you clean the lint screen keep the lint and put it in a plastic bag and save it. I then take a small zip lock bag and keep it full of lint and use it for fire starter 🔥 it works great, better than birch bark. Great review i now know what a Kelly kettle is and how to use one,l never saw one before thanks 👍👍👍
Constant Comment!!!! Yea! My English nanny hooked me on it when she raised me when we lived in England…only tea I drink! Kindred Spirit good to meet you!!!
These are great and I've got a few versions, both from Kelly Kettle and other options. I keep one in my car for emergencies, one at camp, and one at home. Heck of a piece of kit.
Hello my friend😍 I have never heard of this Kelly Kettle but am very grateful that you have shared. I think I would like to own one! 😍 God bless you and your ministry, sweet sister. katie
Miss, Katie, the bigger version really would be substantial enough for preparing meals for your whole family outdoors. Thank you for your encouragement. God bless your ministry too, dear friend!
Nice kit! Very "real" experience to watch you learning at the same time you're sharing, because it shows us realistic expectations on the learning curve. Well done!
I have a Kelly kettle that I`ve had for 9 or 10 years or so. I don`t have the kit you have with yours, but I`ll get one. For now my dutch oven and Kelly kettle are most of my outdoor cooking.
I’ve had one for a couple of decades. I keep it with the emergency, freeze dried food, and some bulgar wheat, bullion cubes, and some jerky, in one of the bins on my truck.
Fine Review! All the Functions become much easier with practice, of course! I've bought several of these over the years, so I could share'em with folks. Especially in anticipation of interruptions to power & distribution systems... One Particular advantage of the system is that this design also protects and conceals the flame thru most of its operation. Even the smallest version does the job, and as you pointed out, the KIT allows you to pack and carry a surprising amount of fuel and gear. I particularly recommend becoming proficient with a _*ferrocerium spark-generating rod*-that you can use with any number of square-edged steel items to employ as a "striker." You show much wisdom in carrying a supply of FATWOOD sticks. Those are especially valuable as fire STARTERS, and I recommend that folk SAVE them for that purpose rather than relying on them for fuel if you can gather dry twigs and small branches. EVEN LEAVES AND DRY GRASS can fuel your cooking. That ability to use the humblest fuel can be a life saver.
I came to your channel by chance as I was thinking a lot about Kelly Kettles recently. I was a bit tired and just needed a few minutes to sit and watch something for myself for a few minutes before prepping and making a Saturday night family meal. As I watched the opening credits I thought to myself "Thank God. Somebody with similar values and felt like a huge weight had been lifted from within. I put this down to feeling a bit tired. I really enjoyed the video. And then the Scripture reading at the end. I wasn't expecting that but the words hit me so hard. I almost burst into tears. Needless to say I am now subscribed! I think "Someone" is trying to tell me to watch your channel. Thank you.
I've had the Scout for many years (SS mod.) and love it. About 2 years ago I ordered some Acc. for it, they goofed up & sent me the complete Trekker kit, ( also SS mod.) I was a little disappointed when I opened the box, as the German Shepherd & I were going camping that weekend, but quickly realized how handy the Trekker would be, & how disappointed the poor guy (or gal) was going to be that got my Acc. I quickly called them to correct the situation, it took a bit of explaining, but finally got it remedied, I payed them for the Trekker and soon got my Acc., & the person that ordered the Trekker got theirs too. Sometimes they are both going at the same time, love them both. Keep up the awesome videos, God bless you!
It was the first time that I have viewed your clips and I really enjoyed your clip, what completed it though was to realize that your a beautiful Lady of Faith, your added scripture at the end was perfect, may Jesus bless you immensely, keep up the excellent work 😇
Good morning Christa, what a beautiful and peaceful sight behind you. God bless you. Thanks for sharing, the Kelly Kettle, with all the features. Thank you, for all the tips , u shared. 🙏🥰✝️👍👏🍂🍁🐿🍏🌻🍎
I love the Kelly Kettle, I've been watching your videos for a while, and you are an amazing woman. You have so much common sense, your abilities to do things is amazing. May God bless you continuously.
I have been wanting a Kelly Kettle for a while. I just haven't been able to justify the price yet. I hope to be able to get one soon. Thank you for sharing.
Had mine for about 15 years. Love it! Recommend putting kettle part on and lighting wick through bottom hole. Much easier than lighting fire and then putting kettle on. Enjoy x
While living in Oxfordshire, UK, (1979) I enjoyed a day out at a 'Fete. We would name it: Country Fair. I purchased a large Kelly stove. It was no where near as versatile as yours. Nonetheless being a Camper of brilliant ideals, I adapted to what ever the occasion called it became an ideal purchase. When I returned to (America) California, I gifted my stove to my son's Godfather. Whom I busted face-timed him if he still has it. His son does! Think when I go back and visit I'll look to upgrade this current style. Thank you for the video/demo. It was fantastically accomplished !
I've owned one for 10 years and used mine many times,,carried it hiking back in 2012 and although it's bulky it's light,, great for warming your cold feet on a wet day,, great video,,all the best!
I have had one for years and it is my favourite cooker. Mine is the smallest model. ( the Traveller ) The two pieces of metal are used as a pot holder on top of the kettle which can be a bit of a pain if you want some hot water as you will have to temporarily take you fry pan or pot off the top of the kettle so you can pour it.if you are eating freeze dried food this is not an issue as kettle is only used for boiling. A great product.
Fabulous video. So glad you love yours. Ive had mine for over a decade and was gifted to me by Mr Kelly himself here at home in Co Mayo. I use it all the time. One of my prized posesions. Mine is one of the old ones with the original cork.
This is the video that made me purchase the kelly kettle. I was buying 4 packs of camping gas and this will pay for itself in no time without the cost of those . Great video thanks.
Discovered the Kelly Kettle years ago but never got one. Thanks for the reminder!! 🥰. I've also recently become aware of the "Afghan Cauldron" which is a pressure cooker but meant for outdoor fires!! No plastic!! Very rugged!! Used for years!! 👃✌️🇨🇦🥰
Good review of a very nice product, thank you! I've never used one but I saw another great review by a Canadian bushcrafter, Mark Young. It's worth watching.
Thank you Christa , this is a better video on this kettle I have ever seen , I will definitely buy one now. You are a jewel of information, may GOD continue to bless you.
What a wonderful presentation!❤️. I’m one of those people who can never be sold on anything. I have to convince myself. But your presentation and the obvious value of this product have made me want it!😊.
I’m extremely resistant to sales pressure too. Like you, watching this demo it’s obvious that this product could be very useful to me. My emergency cooking plan was to depend on a propane camp stove. I’ll still have that as an option but I just ordered one of these.
Good afternoon Krista. Excellent video with spectacular production values. but that's of course to be expected from a strong independent woman such as yourself. That vintage Kelly Kettle looks like the perfect device for brewing up a nice hot pot of coffee on a campfire. Thanks for sharing a look at your camping life in the Great Outdoors.. Take care. 😊😊
Nice, have all 3 sizes. The larger 2 are great for boiling water/cooking when out with the Grandkids, the smaller "Trekker" is just right for the wife and I on our own out and about in the woods and hills.
So quick note.. I know it is the first time of you using the kettle, but I would like to offer a bit of help.

That sounds very efficient
It doesn't work that well that way. Easier to cook without kettle . From personal experience

IIRC, the two interlocking pieces that you show at 8:50 are meant to be assembled and inserted into the top of the kettle. You can use it as another cooking surface.
And they you would cook on a real rocket stove. That's what I thought though I've never seen this contraption before.
Alternatively, you can put it on the ground, and place the base on top. It will keep snow and ice from stealing too much heat from your fire
You can do that or use it as a base.
And I think that once the two pieces are put together, they can be flipped over either way to get different size notches / ledges.
That cross will actually work on a Solo stove so you could build a campfire and then boil something
Their lawyers might disagree
I have never heard of this until now. It's pretty cool. I like that it works with wood-which you can find pretty much everywhere(for free). Ingenious; thanks for posting this!
What a great kit! This will be the next addition to my prep supplies.

I’ve had my Kelly for quite a while, and am a firm believer in its versatility and uniqueness. I use it for canoe, boat camping etc. it is also always in my hunting camp, and my 4x4 for off road excursions. A great piece of kit for sure! 🙏🏻👍🏻
Great video. Thank you for showing how versatile this system is. We have all 3 sizes of this kettle & have been using them for years. They work amazingly well.
Never heard of this but wow, what an amazing invention!
The Kelly Kettle is a capable piece of kit that permits boiling of water and cooking where there’s no gas or other fuels. Feeding and sustaining the flame is the challenge but it’s a good bit of kit.
Wow, that's really cool, the company should send you the other 2 sizes to test for us! I want one! Would like to see the other sizes!
Food , nature, and beautiful lady. Nothing better. Thank you.
I’m a new subscriber! I can’t thank you enough for how helpful and thoughtful you are to show us different off the grid solutions. May God bless you always my sister. 🙏🏽
Awesome set up
Totally inventive!
Goes on my wishlist with all my other pipedreams
Yes, me too.
Me too..I'm gonna ask Santa for one this Christmas.
I’m still waiting for my young temptress! Oh well Santas a busy guy.
40 years ago I was reading about the nomads of the desert 🏜of the Middle East. They had kettles made out of copper/bass with chimneys that went up the center theirs were open pans to make soup or sauce, so they could dip their bread in the soup in a group. If I could draw you a picture,it would be easier to explain. The Kelly Kettle is new and improvement on a very old idea.
Hello how are you doing?
Something like a bundt pan or a tube pan for angel food cake?
A tangine?
It was made over a hundred years ago,hardly new.The American Army had a version slight change in design years later
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and "maiden voyage" experience with this clever invention :) I've been considering adding one of these to my kit for quite awhile ... Lord Willing, I'll invest in the stainless version, myself. You've blessed my day, Christa! God Bless you as well
That gonna be worth it’s weight in gold soon
Exactly.I bought four! ((Don’t tell the misses!
I have been curious about these for a long time, so THANK YOU for your wonderful demonstration! I really enjoyed every minute of it! 👍👍
I never heard of this tool. Amazing! Thank you for the information...I want one also!
I love this little stove! Thank you, I'm going to look into buying one.
I’d get the base camp stainless steel complete kit 1.6 litre)For travel try the aluminium Trekker.
@@redpillnibbler4423 What brand is the stainless steel kit?
If you had to survive in post apocalyptic woodlands, doing so would be a whole lot more endurable with a Kelly Kettle and the company of this delightfully charming lady.
Nice vid.
A western version of the Samovar, in other words. However, a long vertical tube is usually placed as an extension on top of the Samovar to prevent the flames from coming out into the open (as they do with the Kelly Kettle), thereby preventing accidents or fires.
The Irish Traveler community in the old day's used to have a Samovar that probably influenced the Kelly Kettle
Wow, you are wonderful ! I would love to be your camera man. I was brought to tears when you said to bless another person. I do that all the time. It makes everyone feel wonderful. Most folks need that in todays crazy world. They thank me too. You are inspiring and uplifting. Praise the lord !
Thank you, Triumphmanful
How clever! I love stainless steel and glass. I also love the Kelly Kettle...thank you for sharing the how-to! Perhaps I will purchase the large one next month. God bless you.💕💓💕💚🕊💚
Krista, just a quick side note lve been using for years, if you have a clothes dryer at home for laundry, when you clean the lint screen keep the lint and put it in a plastic bag and save it. I then take a small zip lock bag and keep it full of lint and use it for fire starter 🔥 it works great, better than birch bark. Great review i now know what a Kelly kettle is and how to use one,l never saw one before thanks 👍👍👍
Constant Comment!!!! Yea! My English nanny hooked me on it when she raised me when we lived in England…only tea I drink! Kindred Spirit good to meet you!!!
OH Christy you are such a brownie, God loves you and so do we!!!
I was very intrigued by this. Something I hadn't heard of. Thanks Christa!
Thanks for your comment, Jeff! I love it. :)
These are great and I've got a few versions, both from Kelly Kettle and other options. I keep one in my car for emergencies, one at camp, and one at home. Heck of a piece of kit.
😮 God Bless you for sharing 🙏 this is perfect to add to my prepping stash ☺️ hoping I can get it to Australia 🙏
Hello my friend😍 I have never heard of this Kelly Kettle but am very grateful that you have shared. I think I would like to own one! 😍 God bless you and your ministry, sweet sister. katie
Miss, Katie, the bigger version really would be substantial enough for preparing meals for your whole family outdoors. Thank you for your encouragement. God bless your ministry too, dear friend!
Nice kit! Very "real" experience to watch you learning at the same time you're sharing, because it shows us realistic expectations on the learning curve. Well done!
Thank you Krista. This is a wonderful product, going on my list for sure! God Bless! Have a awesome day! Dawn 😊
First time here and I've got to say, WOW! What a great item, gonna get one! 💖🙌😺
I have a Kelly kettle that I`ve had for 9 or 10 years or so. I don`t have the kit you have with yours, but I`ll get one. For now my dutch oven and Kelly kettle are most of my outdoor cooking.
I’ve had one for a couple of decades. I keep it with the emergency, freeze dried food, and some bulgar wheat, bullion cubes, and some jerky, in one of the bins on my truck.
Very interesting.
Nice to see another video from you Krista👍
Fine Review! All the Functions become much easier with practice, of course! I've bought several of these over the years, so I could share'em with folks. Especially in anticipation of interruptions to power & distribution systems...
One Particular advantage of the system is that this design also protects and conceals the flame thru most of its operation.
Even the smallest version does the job, and as you pointed out, the KIT allows you to pack and carry a surprising amount of fuel and gear. I particularly recommend becoming proficient with a _*ferrocerium spark-generating rod*-that you can use with any number of square-edged steel items to employ as a "striker."
You show much wisdom in carrying a supply of FATWOOD sticks. Those are especially valuable as fire STARTERS, and I recommend that folk SAVE them for that purpose rather than relying on them for fuel if you can gather dry twigs and small branches. EVEN LEAVES AND DRY GRASS can fuel your cooking.
That ability to use the humblest fuel can be a life saver.
You made some great points, @anim8torfiddler871. Thank you for your comment!
I came to your channel by chance as I was thinking a lot about Kelly Kettles recently. I was a bit tired and just needed a few minutes to sit and watch something for myself for a few minutes before prepping and making a Saturday night family meal. As I watched the opening credits I thought to myself "Thank God. Somebody with similar values and felt like a huge weight had been lifted from within. I put this down to feeling a bit tired. I really enjoyed the video. And then the Scripture reading at the end. I wasn't expecting that but the words hit me so hard. I almost burst into tears. Needless to say I am now subscribed! I think "Someone" is trying to tell me to watch your channel. Thank you.
If you don’t have that thing to cook over, you can use a small grill. That’s what I do. This Kettle I’d so cool! I love mine!
I've had the Scout for many years (SS mod.) and love it. About 2 years ago I ordered some Acc. for it, they goofed up & sent me the complete Trekker kit, ( also SS mod.) I was a little disappointed when I opened the box, as the German Shepherd & I were going camping that weekend, but quickly realized how handy the Trekker would be, & how disappointed the poor guy (or gal) was going to be that got my Acc. I quickly called them to correct the situation, it took a bit of explaining, but finally got it remedied, I payed them for the Trekker and soon got my Acc., & the person that ordered the Trekker got theirs too. Sometimes they are both going at the same time, love them both. Keep up the awesome videos, God bless you!
It was the first time that I have viewed your clips and I really enjoyed your clip, what completed it though was to realize that your a beautiful Lady of Faith, your added scripture at the end was perfect, may Jesus bless you immensely, keep up the excellent work 😇
I haven’t had Constant Comment for years! guess what I’m buying!
God Bless You Christa. Great emergency item to have on hand to.
Love this! That kettle is awesome. I also love Constant Comment tea, so yummy! God bless.
God bless you too, Christina!
Good morning Christa, what a beautiful and peaceful sight behind you. God bless you.
Thanks for sharing, the Kelly Kettle, with all the features.
Thank you, for all the tips , u shared.
🙏🥰✝️👍👏🍂🍁🐿🍏🌻🍎
Thank you, Rachel! God bless you too!
Love your work. We have Kelly Products here in Australia and Love them. God Speed. This is End Times.
I love the Kelly Kettle, I've been watching your videos for a while, and you are an amazing woman. You have so much common sense, your abilities to do things is amazing. May God bless you continuously.
I have been wanting a Kelly Kettle for a while. I just haven't been able to justify the price yet. I hope to be able to get one soon. Thank you for sharing.
Had mine for about 15 years. Love it!
Recommend putting kettle part on and lighting wick through bottom hole. Much easier than lighting fire and then putting kettle on.
Enjoy x
Great tip!
If it’s not windy I find a pocket bellows very useful to get the flames going.
While living in Oxfordshire, UK, (1979) I enjoyed a day out at a 'Fete. We would name it: Country Fair. I purchased a large Kelly stove. It was no where near as versatile as yours. Nonetheless being a Camper of brilliant ideals, I adapted to what ever the occasion called it became an ideal purchase. When I returned to (America) California, I gifted my stove to my son's Godfather. Whom I busted face-timed him if he still has it. His son does! Think when I go back and visit I'll look to upgrade this current style. Thank you for the video/demo. It was fantastically accomplished !
I've owned one for 10 years and used mine many times,,carried it hiking back in 2012 and although it's bulky it's light,, great for warming your cold feet on a wet day,, great video,,all the best!
I purchased a Kelly kettle and I love mine. I purchased mine after watching your video. TY
Unlike some demos you have shown how to operate the kettle safely and given good instruction. Great video......shows how it should be done.
Thanks for the information and your inspiration
I have the stainless steel base camp kettle. My friend introduced me to it in 1977. I love mine.
Keep your light shining bright
Thank you for the video of the Kelly Kettle, and God's wonderful words.
I have had one for years and it is my favourite cooker. Mine is the smallest model. ( the Traveller ) The two pieces of metal are used as a pot holder on top of the kettle which can be a bit of a pain if you want some hot water as you will have to temporarily take you fry pan or pot off the top of the kettle so you can pour it.if you are eating freeze dried food this is not an issue as kettle is only used for boiling. A great product.
I have been looking at getting something like this! Perfect timing before I ordered something else!!!
Congratulations! I love my Kelly Kettle and you will probably love yours too.
Fabulous video. So glad you love yours.
Ive had mine for over a decade and was gifted to me by Mr Kelly himself here at home in Co Mayo. I use it all the time. One of my prized posesions. Mine is one of the old ones with the original cork.
Tankx, I love the Kelly kettle. I am preparing for a motorcycle/ trailer road trip. That might well be another important piece.
This is the video that made me purchase the kelly kettle. I was buying 4 packs of camping gas and this will pay for itself in no time without the cost of those . Great video thanks.
Oh no, now I want one! Thank you for sharing this sweet lady 😁
Discovered the Kelly Kettle years ago but never got one. Thanks for the reminder!! 🥰. I've also recently become aware of the "Afghan Cauldron" which is a pressure cooker but meant for outdoor fires!! No plastic!! Very rugged!! Used for years!! 👃✌️🇨🇦🥰
This is the coolest stove! Thank you for sharing- definitely want one🙏🏽
Good demonstration , lots of options , thanks for sharing , God bless !
I live in Wyoming. So so very windy here. If it’s meant can windy conditions that I’m for sure buying this! Thank you!
Just received my kit and this video was good to explain all the features. Thank you.😊
Good review of a very nice product, thank you! I've never used one but I saw another great review by a Canadian bushcrafter, Mark Young. It's worth watching.
He’s great.
Thank you Christa , this is a better video on this kettle I have ever seen , I will definitely buy one now. You are a jewel of information, may GOD continue to bless you.
I love that Kelly kettle.
What a wonderful presentation!❤️. I’m one of those people who can never be sold on anything. I have to convince myself. But your presentation and the obvious value of this product have made me want it!😊.
I commented before finishing the video. Your scripture reading brought me to tears.❤️. God bless!🙏
I’m extremely resistant to sales pressure too. Like you, watching this demo it’s obvious that this product could be very useful to me. My emergency cooking plan was to depend on a propane camp stove. I’ll still have that as an option but I just ordered one of these.
@@plumberrygardenpatch4869
I’ve bought 4 of the suckers,they’re that good especially for boiling water.
Power cuts threatened here in U.K.
The stand goes in chimney of kettle to cook while boiling. Great vids!
Constant Comment is MY favorite tea as well! Love this demonstration! Thank you so much!
What a blessing you are💖
This is the Irish version of the Russian samovar. Fabulous.
Hello how are you doing?
Putin did it! 😅
Glad you like my kettle. 🤣
The kelly kettle is absolutely fantastic for outdoor cooking. Such an awesome piece of kit for camping.
It’s best for boiling water,but the base stove kit does work pretty well too.
My favorite verse. Thank you Jesus.
Good afternoon Krista. Excellent video with spectacular production values. but that's of course to be expected from a strong independent woman such as yourself. That vintage Kelly Kettle looks like the perfect device for brewing up a nice hot pot of coffee on a campfire. Thanks for sharing a look at your camping life in the Great Outdoors.. Take care. 😊😊
Nice, have all 3 sizes. The larger 2 are great for boiling water/cooking when out with the Grandkids, the smaller "Trekker" is just right for the wife and I on our own out and about in the woods and hills.
