Another fuel you can use is a cotton ball dunked in wax..it will burn like an esbit cube and is cheaper..
what is the proper name for the cup that you used to boil the water in?
Mmmm! Looks yummy! I’m going to try this. I just got an Esbit stove and I can’t wait to try it out. It looks like it works really well. When you use it outside, I suppose you use a windscreen – do you know how high the windscreen should be? Thanks for a great video!
Can the ESBIT stove support a 1-Liter SIGG water bottle?
im gona buy this for my german ww2 impression:]
i wish i had a vacuum sealer it makes it so easy to put together meals
i tried this with my east german folding stove and east german mess kit, and surprisingly it was really good. i dont even love tuna but thats a great recipe im gonna remember this for my next camping trip, fun to do at home too,
thanks for making this vid, really cool
after you get ur water to boil is the stove hot to touch?
@SPCkeith you can get them in camping/sports stores or military surplus stores
if i can bring water to a rolling boil i can thermos cook. that saves me energy!
A video about a crazy stove and you don´t show teh little magic fuel rock ! shame on you…
that doesn’t look half bad to eat in your house but when you have been backpacking or been in the wilderness for 3 days that would be amazing
Great video! I just bought an Esbit stove because of its light weight and because I don’t really like carrying liquid fuel. As most of my backpacking is done in spring, summer, and fall, this stove will work great. Thanks for this video, PackRat – I’m glad to see my little stove will work well. I just do freezer bag cooking, so I think this will be a perfect setup. Happy Trails!
good stove I want one
that meal looked nice as normal but as we all know when you are outdoors that would look and taste 100x nicer lol
how can you put out the cube? water or other element?
Is it steel or aluminum?? Any idea on the weight?
where do you guys get these canteen cups at?
Hey PackRat,
Like the idea about the vacuum seal. Would not have even thought of it, but now I am intrigued by it. I figure just about anything can be sealed up with it, and it saves space along with adding some strength to the food pack so it wont get crushed. Thanks.
@PackRat556 i went all out and got a lmf spork, there indestructable!
Good idea on using the cubes as emergency tinder, I also keep cotton balls soaked in petro jelly (vaseline), it burns about 3 minutes if done right. Great vid.
@manhip a great website is camping survival but packrat gets better deal not sure where he gets his deal hope this helps
were do you get the great deals from
Great shopper~!!! How are you finding many good deals ?
theres other things the ramen noodles you know….
The hexamine tablets are made for the civilian version of the British Army Hexamine Stove, which is basicly a larger Esbit Stove that measures roughly 4′x5′x1′.
Much larger than the esbit but much more stable for larger pots, and cheaper here in the UK due to the Hexamine Stoves being british army issue and the Esbit Stoves being German Army Issue.
