@Thomas Mack Dude, I've seen this comment of yours all over the place. I've reported you for spam and/or harassment of another person, amd will continue to everytime I see it. Get used to it
Whilst not sailing related, I paddle open canoes (and sail them too) but I have a plastic waterproof tool box that I use as my "Wanagan" (camp kitchen). Its good to see your ideas for food prep and consumption, as they often spark the imagination for improvements to my own setup. That stove is just the ticket for your situation. I have recently converted to Trangias, if only because I have a better idea of how much fuel I have left, rather than shaking a gas cannister and estimating. Really enjoy your videos as you have a very nice relaxed delivery. Keep them coming.
Roger you could show us some paint drying and we would be interested called and intrigued lol ... arty stuff is good too , and thanks for the quick glimpse of the square as we can’t get down there obviously at the mo pfff ,,, it may change this week though so chin up my Friend ... Neil , Liz and Barneyboo the Cockerpoo .. x
Thoroughly enjoyed it, I have a larger boat with galley, however, there is a major attraction to a less complicated way of getting out sailing. Cheers keep up the good work.
Greetings from Japan, Roger. Your musings (elderly oaks in the English countryside, art and humanity etc) are all enjoyable. So please just post what is on your mind and what is important to you and your existence. Thank you as always, Gary
Glad to hear that capsizing is an "infrequent event". I enjoy your style of presentation. Looking forward to tea with you someday after you have "put the kettle on" this stove. Cheers!
Loved this one - the practical side of cruising has always interested me and your setup there is a great combination of practicality, quality and aesthetics. More of this type of video would be great.
Thanks Roger. I agree completely with your feelings about the Origo stove. I bought my 25-foot sailboat 35 years ago and the first major improvement was to buy a two-burner Origo to replace the pressure alcohol stove that came with the boat. The stove has worked flawlessly.
@@elbob3631 What is the problem with having alcohol generally available? From time to time I use it as a solvent also quite often as a disinfectant. Should I be protected from myself? And how do you go about getting permission to buy alcohol?
Brilliant design! Would like to see how you prepare your favourite cruising meals. I’m sure you have had lots of experience of what works and what doesn’t! Bon appétit 😋
Your videos are wonderful! The first time through I watched as an interested dinghy camper. These became quite soothing during the winter months. Now that it's spring these are valuable "instructional" videos because they are experiential. It looks easy and inviting, but the organization and preparation are exquisite. Thank you!
Thanks for not editing out the coaster falling from the mug. Happens to me all the time. Love the brass and rope fixings, very fitting, pardon the pun.
Great geeky video “a COVID special production”, I bought a 2 burner Origo after looking single burner to keep on my dinghy cruiser. I modified it by cutting it in half. Stainless steel is difficult to cut and fold but it can be done. I am satisfied with the now one burner.
Noticed your boxes in your Raid Basin d'Arcachon video and really wanted to see them. Very quickly and happily found this and enjoyed a second of your videos.
Hi Roger. I've watched a lot of your videos but haven't commented yet. Thanks for everything you've done. You've inspired me to go dinghy cruising and it should hopefully become reality pretty soon. Since you asked for suggestions at the end of your video: what about how you go about preparing a cruise? Talk about researching tides, routes, weather forecasts, launching ramps, identifying anchorages/stopping points. Where do you get your information? How do you make it into a plan? A second idea would be to talk about the navigational equipment you have on board: GPS? What type? Charts? Chartplotter? Bearing compass? A third idea would be safety equipment (beyond the obvious: anchor, oars and preparation): VHF? EPIRB? Lifejackets? A fourth idea would be around clothing: footwear, keeping warm, keeping dry, what do you do when it rains en route? You've probably covered it all in your book, but I haven't read it yet ;-) All best, Joshua
Oh! So many memories you raise. I had a two burner cook stove version (name escapes me) and loved it. They were all Stainless steel. The meth spirits is all we can obtain here, and the sharp smell was a bit bothersome. I filled the tanks by holding them on their side, to get a full filling. We had a 22 foot wooden sloop for years - miss it - but still use the stove ! Rodney Vancouver Island
Another great video, always educational and thought provoking, thanks Roger. I just spotted a Dometic EK1600 at Force4 for £180, so yes, alcohol stoves everywhere! Off to read and research Ilurs now :-)
Dear Roger, I absolutely love your channel! The dometic origo is sold (in the Netherlands) under a different name, Electrolux Origo 1500 (for the single stove). And electrolux 3000 for the double stove. Keep up the good work! Martijn (from the Netherlands).
What a wonderful series idea!! I love the endless ingenuity of that little box. Could you perhaps do a video showing your process for passage planning? I'd be curious to see how you approach it. Or maybe your maintenance routine and the kind of things you have to do to keep Avel Dro looking sleek and classy! Love from Ireland
Thank you for your wonderful video. I do enjoy every video you post and I look forward to them. I shared your video, " Art in Life ", with a friend of ours who is an artist and she was delighted with how it caused a flood of emotion and ideas to spring to her mind. Thank you again, Bill in Wisconsin, USA
Great videos, all subjects welcome, they make an interesting change! On my more modern boat, I have used self-adhesive high performance engine manifold insulation. It’s a bit expensive, but looks professional and is effective to protect from a heat source.
As you say Roger, a good little stove. I have a 2 burner version on my boat and it has 2 gaskets that I replace after use, they fit over the mesh of the reservoir and stops fumes and evaporation I presume. A great little box you have there and a bit of a tardis !!
"I have two of everything, because I have often two of me on board." (At 6:40) Possibly the best and most accurate comment yet. We all need to consult the experts, thats why we talk to ourselves.
Hullo Roger. Reporting in from Nz. Now for the cooking show. I mean you can't just show us the stove, without cooking something. Great channel. Take care mate.
Ok Roger I’m 30 secs in and this is the video I’ve been waiting for. I’m all strapped in for the ride - thanks ever so much for the info provided to date, you and your content is very engaging, keep it up. :)
Origos are GREAT... I use a two burner version of them in my campervan for many years now...wonderful piece of kit. Like sailors I don't like gas, possible gas leaks and a bilge born explosion...
Excellent geeky look inside your galley box, thank you Roger! The camping aspect of Dinghy camping/cruising particularly appeals to me. Your Rogue Mariner on the Upper Thames video is what got this non-sailor hooked on your films. Since you asked for topic suggestions, might you perhaps discuss sometime how and why you became enthralled with this corner of France? Take care and ride out this storm. ATB
Roger you are wonderful.....lovely video. Of course the reason I love my trangia is it goes on my camping, expeditions, cycling trips, overnight bivvys......and the smell of meths .....wonderful stuff 😄
Thank you Roger! Excellent information and just what I needed. What are they protesting about there? I'd love to learn more about your boom tent: material, how you designed it, did you sew it, cut it, what thread, pros, cons? That would be very helpful too. Thank you always Roger, you're the very best.
Hello Roger. I remember seeing this video some time ago but now that I purchased an Origo two burner stove, I now appreciate it more. And I must say I love the Origo Stove. I didint know how well and simple those stoves are.
I was going to ask you how you extinguished the stove then you showed us its workings and all became clear. Because you turned a knob and like a gas stove , it went off. But with an alcohol stove it needs to be starved of oxygen, and the knob clearly shows that it operates a sort of aperture that does that. A very nice stove, thanks for the video.
Turn the knob to close the damper which also act as a cover to the flame hole in the canister. This makes enough of a seal to prevent the fuel from evaporating when the stove is stowed away
Enjoyed this video as always, thank you Roger. You had a philosophical intermezzo in one of the early sailing videos about - basically - that one should strive to collect experiences instead of things. A video in which you explore this subject in more depth would be welcomed!
Hi Roger. It would be nice to see a video on the type of clothing you use when sailing. As a novice I see so much info on modern synthetic gear,but personally I like natural products. I would be interested in the kit you use and also any safety items like buoyancy aids etc .
Great video and usefully designed stove box. For people looking to build similar, look up 'oven liner' for an inexpensive fire proof lining solution. Thanks for the calming moment sir!
@@DaveandGinny972 Really sorry. Also checked, and the couple I saw have gone. There must be some fast reactors. There are parts and nearly completes. I would just do a couple of searches per week (I do that sort of thing) for Origo stove and alcohol stove.
Thorough design of these kits! I was lucky enough to locate a used Origo just last month. $100 US. Haven’t tried it yet. I noticed Roger that you aren’t using the canister cap which is placed over the opening to prevent fuel evaporation when not in use. I cut one out of a silicone baking sheet liner. I’d be happy to send you one.
Roger you can buy bioethanol in B&Q in the UK. Just look in the garden section. A great replacement for meths and I use it in my "primitive" Trangia stove that I've had for 25 years. Thanks for a great and informative video.
Oddly enough making a galley box for my Dabber is one of my Winter projects. I was considering building it around my small canister gas stove but your point about heat build up around the canister is very valid for consideration. Sadly as you say the Dometic stove is now discontinued and even secondhand are like trying to find Hen's teeth! Other makes don't appear to be in the same league so may stick with gas.
Trip planning, typical distances covered in a day, I assume you leave a float plan with someone, cost to use launch ramps, have you found a reliable bilge float switch?
Your famous box inspired me to make one this summer but with a gas burner (with its disadvantages). I haven't used it "for real" yet, hopefully next year. I did show it on the DCA group on FB. I have just made the cooking box because I already have a compartment for my food.
The order in this man's life is so soothing and oddly satisfying. Thank you for the insights
@Thomas Mack
Dude, I've seen this comment of yours all over the place. I've reported you for spam and/or harassment of another person, amd will continue to everytime I see it.

Third place is still on the podium! Thanks, Roger for all of the content, a calm few moments in a hectic time. Peace and stay safe.
The boxes are a beautiful and practical addition to your boat. If time permits, a short video on oaring and sculling would be nice. Sail on!
It seem useful!
RUclips seriously needs a ❤️ button. Great video! Thanks again Roger. Your stuff is always interesting.
Oh I do love the geeky stuff. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Roger, very interesting. And thanks for showing us the inside of the Alcohol stove, I've often wondered how they worked!
Roger, I love your videos. I'm a young sailor from Maryland,USA And I love your overnight camping trip videos. These videos are very helpful
Anything from you is great Roger!
I travel in a minivan and have been reworking and fine tuning my galley setup. Have admired yours many times in these videos. Thanks for sharing.
I should do more videos like this. I was surprised how long I managed to talk about one little wooden box.
Whilst not sailing related, I paddle open canoes (and sail them too) but I have a plastic waterproof tool box that I use as my "Wanagan" (camp kitchen). Its good to see your ideas for food prep and consumption, as they often spark the imagination for improvements to my own setup. That stove is just the ticket for your situation.

Really enjoy your videos as you have a very nice relaxed delivery. Keep them coming.
In March I watched the first video you made when you we're under quarantine. It changed my perspective and got me to think deeply. Thank you for that.
Thanks, Roger. Just listening to you is calming. And, by the way, I love your galley box...very clever.
Roger you could show us some paint drying and we would be interested called and intrigued lol ... arty stuff is good too , and thanks for the quick glimpse of the square as we can’t get down there obviously at the mo pfff ,,, it may change this week though so chin up my Friend ...

Thanks for the video, Roger! It would be interesting to see a similar video of the electric system of your boat too.
Always appreciate your videos Roger, even as a none sailor, so do keep 'em coming and thanks
'the pestilence that stalks the world' best description of those times I have ever heard :)
Thanks for the info and sharing your knowledge. I'll happy watch these films whether they're geeky, boat or philosophy based. Keep up the great work.
Greetings from Japan, Roger.
Your musings (elderly oaks in the English countryside, art and humanity etc) are all enjoyable.
So please just post what is on your mind and what is important to you and your existence.
Thank you as always, Gary
I took a chance and shared your Art video with my granddaughter and her fiancé (in Alabama) who claim to have loved it. Thank you Roger.
Glad to hear that capsizing is an "infrequent event". I enjoy your style of presentation. Looking forward to tea with you someday after you have "put the kettle on" this stove. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing the details! 👍
Need to make a galley box for next season too!
Picnic on Rat Island?
@@GingerTwiglet 😁 and anywhere else I can sail to! 😁
Lovely; and the boxes look like something straight off a square rigger. Love the stove; always hated gas. Thanks Roger.
Thank you Roger. Very instructional and informative. Keep making more.
Loved this one - the practical side of cruising has always interested me and your setup there is a great combination of practicality, quality and aesthetics. More of this type of video would be great.
Oi Roger! Much thanks for all your Brilliant video content! I enjoy ever one Sir. You stay safe and healthy My friend. Happy Holidays!
What a genius concept! Compact and practical. This setup will work great for car or canoe camping too.
Thanks Roger. I agree completely with your feelings about the Origo stove. I bought my 25-foot sailboat 35 years ago and the first major improvement was to buy a two-burner Origo to replace the pressure alcohol stove that came with the boat. The stove has worked flawlessly.
I know a lot of small boat sailors who like those stoves; it was a mystery to me why they stopped making them. Very nice video, Roger.
Some countries have banned the general sale of alcohol. You have to go to a chemist and have a "valid" reason to buy it.
@@elbob3631 What is the problem with having alcohol generally available? From time to time I use it as a solvent also quite often as a disinfectant. Should I be protected from myself? And how do you go about getting permission to buy alcohol?
@@davej7458 yes, nanny state government protecting you.
You need to find a friendly chemist and gave a chat to get supply
@@elbob3631 the stoves used denatured alcohol and cannot be consumed. IMO Dometic bought a competitor so they could shut down Origo.
Love this! Love a good stove video. Keep the geeky videos coming. Off to the shed in the morning to start work on one of these 😊 . Cheers Roger.
Thank you Roger ! Always a great pleasure to watch your videos
Brilliant design! Would like to see how you prepare your favourite cruising meals. I’m sure you have had lots of experience of what works and what doesn’t! Bon appétit 😋
You are a total OCD nerd and and love you for it. CPG for every occasion. "I dont turn over that often"
Your videos are wonderful! The first time through I watched as an interested dinghy camper. These became quite soothing during the winter months. Now that it's spring these are valuable "instructional" videos because they are experiential. It looks easy and inviting, but the organization and preparation are exquisite. Thank you!
Thank you for continuing the lovely videos Roger. Stay safe. The nonsense will be over soon!
Another awesome video Roger! Thank you, and stay safe to you and all.
Thank You, for a wonderful tour of your galley
Thanks for that. I will be making something similar. Could you sometime show how you boat is rigged. It would be useful to someone new to lug sails.
Great to rewatch some of your old videos roger while hoping for new one to watch very soon
Wonderful design. Thank you for sharing.
You have inspired me to try to make one for my sailboat. Cheers, S/V Cork ~
