Thanks for sharing! From what I've seen/read, you do want to aim your firepan hole into the wind, which by the direction of the smoke looks to be about 11:00 from the camera view, though I think that rule of thumb may apply more the windier it is. Also, I'm surmising from the jet-stream of boiling water at 12:32 (along with your commentary) that pouring through the whistle is not the recommended method. I just ordered my .75L version from Lehman's Hardware last night (10-2-24), with a carry bag, and even with a 10% discount set me back $132 ($109 for the kettle & bag, ~$10 tax & $24! for standard shipping!).
@@IAMSatisfied the more I use it… the more I enjoy it.. especially in a camp environment. Now a long trek alone… might be a little bulky.. but it boils fast and I am impressed! Let me know how you like yours!
It isn't your problem for not having a way to measure the water, but i think the company who makes meals for outdoors should assume most people don't and instead instruct to fill the pouch up "about half way" or "almost to the top". I think I will order the Kelly Kettle, simply because I can't find these in stock anywhere.. the must be a hit!
I just ordered one. I have researched this one the kk and the gk i like the thought of handles vs chain and bail that goes over the fire if your not paying attention when you take it off the fire
@@brandonwilliams2431 I just got mine. Though I don’t like anything made in China, I like this handle and the screw top so you can carry water he mentions in the video. Only the aluminum from Ghillie Kettle is not made in China, made in England. Nothing made in Ireland anymore. Gonna try cooking with it soon. All the stainless ones, Kk and Gk along with this one are made in China (but this is a German company). Oh-I have to order the carry bag cuz it doesn’t come with it-strange.
@@cody481 yeah, next video I do will be all black just for you! Love constructive criticism and sarcasm all wrapped in one comment! You win today!! Great job!

I got this one four months ago, and haven’t seen any anywhere for sale. So they must be good sellers. I will say, it boils water quickly!
I’d like to see more videos on these and also of what you originally wanted to do, cook on the top.
@@Meme-qd2oj coming soon!!! What would you like to see made?

@@jksurvivalbushcraft better way to cook on the top-there’s some kind of grill made, trying to find it.

I really liked the huge black sidebars on this video.
Could you maybe just take a video that's just solid black?

Nice review! I really like storm kettles,the handles and build in legs are a big plus. I have one arriving in a couple of days.
I have really come to enjoy mine. Worth every penny, especially in base camp.
Ps thank you for the kind words!
Not a clue...
yawn...
