It’s great that Pathfinder made this kit. Now a common man can own a Stainless steel M40. The original Swedish M40s are rare and expensive. I enjoyed the video.
I have been fortunate enough to have a original stainless M40, Aluminum M44, and the Pathfinder PFM40. The original stainless is a bit thicker and probably a little more durable, however the PF is really great and close to the original.
Someone may have mentioned it but the bail handle and circular ring is not only for hanging over fire but you can prop it out to the side - the bail arm locks itself outward and then doesn’t get hot from the stove/fire.
Can't say about the pathfinder copies, but the large ring on the original Swedish army Trangia/Svea mess kit IS for hanging over a fire. Holding the bail away from the heat was just a bonus.
I love those rice pouches. So easy to heat up with no mess. Definitely better than the old Minute Rice Boil in the Bags I used to take out for lunches. Thanks for watching and the comment.
I ordered the cook set you are showing mainly to check it out but actually I like this cook set now after seeing how it works and functions. Thanks for the video, keep up the great work.
I enjoyed it man. I’ll have to check out that Japanese Barbecue sauce. I’ve been checking out some little areas around Iowa myself. I love those little hidden gems.
One of my favorites in your state is Springbrook State Park. I stayed there for a quick overnight when returning from a work trip a few years ago. Iowa has some great hidden gems as well. I need to head that direction one of these weekends to explore more across the border.
You can insert a knife in the side of the windscreen to lift it off so you can easily put the sniffer cap on. Blackie Thomas has several videos on uses and Mods.for the swedish M40. They're well worth the watch and he has a great number of great bushcraft videos that are very informative. ATB Sam from Vietnam
I have the Swedish original... just got my Pathfinder Swedish mess kit.. It's beautiful😍. It will be a generational tool. Your grandkids will still be using it. I do need the bag, they were out of the color I wanted. Buy it, You won't regret it. I paid way more for the Original. I consider this Pathfinder set a bargain! The simmer ring on my set came stuck on, be careful getting it off the sealable lid. I suggest using the simmer ring.. that stove gets so hot so fast.
Very nice setup, I have the old pathfinder stove and of course Trangia stoves, I currently use the Soto 1310 butane stove, it works great, it uses butane which is much cheaper than other gas canister stoves, the Soto 1310 you have more control over the flame, than the Trangia type….
I have used Heat before I didn't like the smell... I use 91% rubbing alcohol. I have worked as a welding inspector on a pipeline at night instead of running my Jeep all night I had one of those little alcohol stoves like what you have when I worked up in Nebraska and Colorado. Even in Pennsylvania during the winter. I can put it in my cup holder and heat up or make some coffee. I can also just let it warm up inside of my cab so I don't have to run the Jeep all night. Anyway, when I haven't had my alcohol I've used other products I had on hand diesel fuel additive smells the worst. I highly recommend you don't use that one. That is also a Swedish military meal kit. They were using those during World War 1. Old Dave Canterbury as obviously improved the quality over what it was. The original ones were aluminum, I also made some that were stainless steel but they went back to the aluminum for the longest time. The original ones were a lot heavier than the one you got. They're also a lot more expensive to buy even off of eBay. They're also a little more difficult to clean. The swedes used to call it a dirty pot, or a dirty jar.
Other than buying pure ethanol from a scientific supply store, there's no such thing as 'sootless' alcohol for a spirit burner. The ethyl alcohol and other additives in the stuff you find in retail stores is what doesn't combust properly and turns into soot, especially if the bottom of your cooking vessel is more than 5cm from the spirit burner...
is there a little dent or cut out in the bottom rim of the wind shield? I was wondering about the possibility of using a small remote canister gas burner in bad weather thinking was there somewhere to run the gas tube outside? Bill
That's what I do. I use the Trangia gas adapter, with two tent pegs through some drilled holes in the cover. Just run the hose through the slot in front. Works great. Much faster than alcohol, and the wind shield is exactly what you need for a gas stove.
Like the video. Yes, these small parks are very nice and most are well kempt. FYI: Because utilize has a different meaning than use, utilize is not a fancy way to say use. Use means to consume from a limited supply or take something to achieve a result. Utilize means to use something beyond its intended purpose. Using utilize rather than the correct word use does not come across well.
I wonder why Dave had the Chinese make a copy of the alum. M44 instead of the stainless M40? Maybe he didn't have a M40 to send them. I wonder if they made it with food grade stainless
The Pathfinder School did make that kit. There’s a company in Germany that makes it Canterbury just bought up a bunch and slapped his logo on as well with other stuff. Canterbury doesn’t have a manufacturing plant. He goes on Amazon and RUclips and sees what’s been used and hard to find. Finds the replicas and put his lunchbox logo on them. That’s all. Nothing new. 🥹😅😂🤣😇 SEMPER FI

This was exactly the review of this I was looking for. Thank you
Thanks
Thank you Chris. Great Video. Looked like a great day.
Thank you for the video! I would love more videos with that mess kit.
Got to love the M40. The Swedish really got it right. I am still looking for the M44 aluminum version. Thanks for sharing Chris
This is my first M40 and so far I love it. It's a great design and seams to be a pretty versatile cooking system. Thanks for watching and the comment.
I just happen to have the aluminum version . Really enjoy it. Looking at picking one of theses up.

Still a very good, comprehensive video on the use of the PFM-40 mess kit. Thanks!
Great honest review. Thank you.
I love Jasmine rice.. and that along with the chicken and bbq sounded great.
Thanks for the video brother
I love those rice pouches. So easy to heat up with no mess. Definitely better than the old Minute Rice Boil in the Bags I used to take out for lunches. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Great set the swede army M40 is even more heavy but even been old is great one

Sir thank you this video just made my Day well done
Very nice lunch and stove! Thanks for the review. Subscribed
Nice job here! I need to look att getting this stove for sure! 😊
Really cool! I was wondering if they were ever going to make an improvement on their stove and they did. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice!!!
Thanks!!

That Soto stove looks nice. I might have to pick one up since those fuel canisters are more affordable. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Great video! New subscriber!
Thanks for the sub!
First time on your channel. Beautiful park!!! SUBSCRIBED. I use denatured alcohol. Pint 4.99. No soot
Thanks for stopping by, commenting, and subscribing.
@@BarnYardOutdoors I ordered the M40
Nice work , THANKS

Little spot near Chickasha Oklahoma, Verden lake and park , truck noise there too

I have found the rubber seal shrinks a bit and tends to fall out.
I'm thinking it's the alcohol reacting with the rubber
Can you provide more information about the sack? My PFM40 did not come with one.
Lowe's sells soot less alcohol for stoves in the paint section.

Throw some yum yum sauce in
Have you tried either using the small pan to stir fry the rice and chicken ?
Looks like the German mes kit.
Yup..Except it's all made out of stainless steel instead of aluminum.
The German mess kit has a kidney shape. This one is the Swedish one. I think.
Are u support to cook this in the bag 😮
What is that bag that you're carrying the PM40 in? It looks perfect!
ATB Sam Adler new subscriber from Vietnam
That is the HelikonTex Haversack. It’s a great Bushcraft day outing bag. Welcome to the channel.
So how long dud really take ti boil
I took about 7 minutes to get to a boil. It took a while in the boiling water to heat the meal.
How long did you have to boil that to get the bags hot enough to eat?
It takes about 10 minutes to warm up the rice in the pouch.
is there a little dent or cut out in the bottom rim of the wind shield? I was wondering about the possibility of using a small remote canister gas burner in bad weather thinking was there somewhere to run the gas tube outside? Bill
Unfortunately, no.
@@BarnYardOutdoors ahh 🤥
That's what I do. I use the Trangia gas adapter, with two tent pegs through some drilled holes in the cover. Just run the hose through the slot in front. Works great. Much faster than alcohol, and the wind shield is exactly what you need for a gas stove.
Where can I find the bachan's japanese barbecue individual packets to buy.
I ordered them directly from their website. Sadly, I don’t see the individual packs listed anymore.
you do know that the PM40 is a copy of the Swedish Army Mesh Kitchen (M40)??
Yes. In the US it is pretty expensive to get a M40 shipped. This is the best option in the States right now.
Like the video. Yes, these small parks are very nice and most are well kempt.
FYI: Because utilize has a different meaning than use, utilize is not a fancy way to say use. Use means to consume from a limited supply or take something to achieve a result.

What haversack do you carry
That is the Helikon-Tex Bushcraft Haversack Bag
Thank you I'll take a look at that Love the content
I wonder why Dave had the Chinese make a copy of the alum. M44 instead of the stainless M40? Maybe he didn't have a M40 to send them. I wonder if they made it with food grade stainless
The Pathfinder one is made with 304 Food Grade Stainless.
@@BarnYardOutdoors That's good to know. Why couldn't I find that on his website? Are we back to trusting the Chinese?
Their stove leaks.
I have found that most alcohol stoves leak so I don’t leave fuel in them when not in use.
Great content....I love the bag...what is the brand of it .....did you do a review about it? ...than you.
That is the Helikon-Tex Bushcraft Haversack. It is a great bag. I have not done a review yet, but plan too. Thanks for watching and the comment.
@@BarnYardOutdoors Thank you! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I think is better than the Helikon essential kitbag ... Mucho EXITO!!!
Uncle bens rice mmm
