Gotta go with an all in one mess kit with cooking capabilities myself. I was raised using mess kits on hikes and hunts where they provided a light weight cook and eat kit in one. "Mess Kit". This is just an eating kit, you need separate cooking supplies. Handy for car camping for sure, but nothing else unless you bring additional supplies.
I have been using the 4 piece mess kit for a few years now. Love it, it has been great. I like the look of that Lantern, going to need to check it out!
Just bought the blue 6 piece set. I’ve always been on the fence for this cook kit, but with Amazon same day shipping, your positive review and hopefully some💰 your way, seemed like a no-brainer. 🧠🎉
Thanks for a good look at these products, James. I use my WILDO Camp-a-Box kit for dining. The only thing I don't like about it is the small serving size in what would be a bowl/plate. The UCO definitely has more space. Maybe when weight and bulk aren't an issue, I might consider it. Will have to pick one up and try it. Thanks again.
Sorry James, I prefer the GI Stainless steel mess kit with the Titanium "light my fire" spork. It's the perfect companion of the PF GI Canteen water bottle, cup. and cup stove (it's multi-fuel). It eliminates the frying pan, the plates, the cup and the stove extra weight. Thanks
James, if you want to use this set-up, you need to jam the handle. In my channel, I show how to jam the handle with just a split key ring. Very easy. Did you know if you turn the cup stove upside down and using the fish mouth spreader as a trivet, it becomes a multi-fuel stove? ruclips.net/video/FPWuTQPCnw8/видео.html
@@jacksonteller1337 I think that it's the same manufacturing company that makes them all. They just add the seller name on it. (Rothco, Goetland, etc.) :-)
I use the stainless steel replica of the GI mess kit. But when camping with the whole family the children use the Wildo set. We all prefer the Göffel replica over the spork. Fijne dankdag, the closest thing to Thanksgiving we have, from the Netherlands.
Hey James, I just wanted to say that as far as gear reviews go i take certain things into consideration. First of all the credibility of the reviewer and next that the item being reviewed has been used for a reasonable amount of time. You fill both these criteria.
@@JunkyardFox hey i spoke to my buddy about that thing we spoke about on FB chat. I think he was impressed with my pitch about you. Watch your inbox im sure he'll get around to you eventually. These things take time as you know. 🙂✌🏼
i'm sorry for being honest but sometimes it is just the fun fact of buying stuff pretending we buy them for going out in the wild with some cool stuff in the bag..The truth it is that we have in our kitchens a lot of good enough items ready to be picked up...Almost all the spoons are good , forks, and yeah, in the knife scenario, i think it is a better option to have someting like MOra Companion Heavy duty, but more that that, it is already to fancy... To cary that big and heavy pot , al lot of other stuffs around but not to have a decent place, metal cup, spoon and fork...something it is not in order... :))
Too bad UCO doesn't make knives. That plastic thingy does not qualify. Great brand, though. Love their stuff. You should check out their lantern that uses candles. I bought their mess kits after seeing them on your channel long ago.
Looks like handy stuff for sure. Been eyeing it for a while. Think I may have to order it when work picks up. RUclips channel "Al sabor de la leña" sent out a sandwich video today that you might like
Forget about all that modern plastic stuff. I've been using my stainless steel Boy Scout mess kit for 40+ years. Try reheating, or heating, something in your plastic mess kit and let me know how it goes.
Hello from England. When you say "what's up everybody." what does that mean to you? Well...try the sky, the price of petrol, the price of food etc. It is the most annoying and meaningless question. Please try a better intro.
@@JunkyardFox I told you, it's predominantly the sky then inflation and mostly everything. If you need more help with your question then do not hesitate to contact me again. I can tell you about the stratosphere, the stars and so much more. They are all UP...ha ha ha. Yanks. Not a clue.

Thx for the head's up on UCO.
How much for the lantern
I have the titanium spork. I really like it. It's thin, light weight and strong. It stays in my pack and I use it all the time

A kit like that would make eating much more enjoyable on the trail.
No lie I lived by the UCO mess kit when I was over the road as a trucker. So many uses!
I love UCO gear. It started with their candle lanterns then their matches. I'll have to check out that lamp.
Uco make great gear. I love my mess kit, it has gone EVERYWHERE with me for 4 years.
I got a couple of those 4 pieces kits for my son and me to use on camp outs, and so far they've been nothing but great!
I went with the light my fire titanium spork. I think I'm going on my 4th year. I really appreciate it.

Great to hear! yeah this lantern is awesome
Thank for using that mes kit. I went and bought one soon as I seen. Best thing I got in my camping gear. Ty
Glad you like it!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING. 😊
Same to you!
I've had this mess kit and ti spork for years....love it. Never heard of the sprout
its become my go to lantern, love how small it is, plus the rechargability factor is awesome.
i vouch for the UCO 3-In-1 Titanium Spork Camping Spoon-Fork-Knife . It's a handy little thing, yet tougher than a plastic utensil.
Just bought the blue 6 piece set. I’ve always been on the fence for this cook kit, but with Amazon same day shipping, your positive review and hopefully some💰 your way, seemed like a no-brainer. 🧠🎉
appreciate the love James!
I got a few of the fork/spoon combo. I like them. Food looks awsome, made me hungry lol.
I like those mess kits and lights. Very helpful when camping and hiking. Thank you for sharing.
I have the same UCO titanium utensil and it has yet to let me down.
yeah its a great item to carry
UCO makes great products. Big thumbs up for me !
Yes they do, love all my uco stuff
Interesting products, thanks for doing the review. Now get back to family and friends, give thanks.
cheers buddy! hope you had a great thanksgiving!
I like the small sprout lantern. I have a larger lantern but it is a bit big.
I got one of these in Orange and Yellow
Thank you
That’s my daily lunch box- the UCO 4 pieces mess kit…

I use the same thing but with a Göffel stainless steel replica. As i use it with a GI 1943 canteen set with a lid it is a full cook system.
It's cool how the GI kit that wasn't meant for cooking can be adapted to such uses.
sounds like a great setup, im ggonna have to try it out!

very informative think i will get me a set of the uso 6 piece mess kit
Thank you for the info it looks like it would be useful
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video! Cool products!
Great review, like the 6pcs. Burgers look amazing
Great review very informative
James, glad I'm not the only one who likes mayo and mustard on my burgers...and most sandwiches lol. Keep up the good work.
oh yeah, mayo and mustard are a must have in a burger, i just dont like ketchup on them lol
@@JunkyardFox 100% agree
Dang!..that burger looks good!
Keep em coming
I bought a couple of these this past summer ... unfortunately haven't had the opportunity to get out and use them.
you can use these at home or to take to work, plus these work well with kids. Hope youre feeling better, buddy

Got a video on that green tent near the end ?
theres no full review on it yet, but it can be seen used in our last 4 camping trip videos, its the campros 3 person tent. amzn.to/3XzlDJD

The only thing I've got against the mess kit is you can't cook in it
Was that the French trade satchel? How do you like it compared to the haversack?
Tuff possum gear. I think hes got a review on it
its the tuff possum shackelton satchel
Does the plastic spoon melt with the heat?
any plastic will melt with enough heat. not that these have ever melted, but better to play it safe
Too bad UCO doesn't make knives. That plastic thingy does not qualify.
