I love the fact that you show us Walmart level stuff. We don't always need to have elite equipment. Sometimes more is just more....not better...depending on what you are looking to do. Thank you for all you do!
I was thinking the same thing. I can't afford titanium Snow Peak pots. I will try the second hand stores for gear since the gas stove was found at a thrift store.
Toss the sporks and replace with better cutlery, toss in a can opener, Scotch brite pad and few utensils like a spatula and you got it! Thanks, This is perfect for my RV.
Thanks for sharing your video and showing what it looks like on a camp stove, wanted a bigger set, volume wise for spaghetti and corn on the cob, I just bought this set and I like the size of the big pot, and the sturdy handle on the skillet. Thanks again.
So I got to use this fairly extensively this past weekend and I gotta say this is a great value! The pots, plates, and cups, are all great. Didn't use the sporks, I despise sporks, but can't bring myself to take them out lol. The frying pan worked well enough, I cooked a lot of bacon, sausage, and pork chops! I was having a little trouble in the mornings with heat control as I think my coleman single burner stove was freezing up some how. The frying pan made some noise and warped when heated up, but seems like when it cooled it popped back to flat. I'm very pleased so far with this purchase, it seems sturdy enough and well made enough that it shouldn't wear out anytime soon. This kit and a seasoned 12" cast iron skillet should serve a family or small group really well!
I'm at my bug out camp in Burlington Vermont. Subzero temps with -15° to -40° wind-chill factors. I used to look at these cook kits and wonder why they have the big chonky plastic bowls & plates. Until I prepared my first hot meal in my fireplace. I just used one of my thin microwavable plastic bowls that has a lid. My hot meal was cold AF in just seconds. Luckily I have the double walled stainless steel carabineer coffee mug so my coffee stayed hot. But, everything else was cold quick. I'm actually going to save whatever chonky plastic bowls & cups I get in my kit to use for hot food. I'm betting my food will stay hot longer.
Hey brother I have purchased Ozark trail products for my camping and bug out bags. This is a great video, thank you for taking the time to show this product
Yes, yes, yes.... ask and you shall receive. Thanks for the review. Been on the fence bout this one. I think you sold me on this. Such a great deal. I really want it for the SS pan.
I bought one this week for car camping, mainly for the big pot. The plates and cups seem nice, the pots seem good, the frying pan is a little meh, but we'll see how it all works this weekend on a trip!
Awesome review. I just bought this but have yet to try it out. What sold me was the fact that the handles fold. I've been taking my old "home" pots and pans, but the handles make them bulky and space consuming. I also have the two cylinder stainless steel pots from ozark, and they've held up nice, so I figure these will too!
Great review! I’ve been looking for this cool set for about a month. Finally found this cook and dine set in an Orlando Florida store while on vacation. I’ve looked for this in several cities in Florida and could only find the aluminum version which is the Cook and Eat.
Saw your utube about the ozark trail 22 piece cook/fine set. Was wondering if he ozark trail stainless steel mess kit will fit inside the 22 piece set.
That's a great cook set but I'm even more jazzed about the way you refurbished the coleman stove. Did you make a video regarding it? Thanks for another great video. Atb - Luther
The Ozark Trails was actually surprising, its pretty thick and well made, I will be testing more with it in the future so I cant speak to durability yet (just got it before this review) but it seems that it would hold up well long term. Its not cheap tinny metal, its actually decent without weighing a ton.
Hi. I enjoyed your video. You got me interested in this set. I’ve been looking at the 4 person Stanley Base camp set. I like this one better because it has a mid size pot, and it seems like the pan is a bit larger. What do you think? I don’t think I’ll be using it much but wouldn’t want to buy junk. Should I splurge or do you think this one will work for using a few times a year? Thx so much for sharing your expertise.
Yea just got this and was able to completly bend the frying pan in half with barely any force. Big pot is pretty good plates and cups are good plastics and the smaller pot is soso still able to bend and then the lid doesnt set on it right

I love the fact that everything is nested. I will certainly keep this cook set in mind.
The plastic plates work well as holders for paper plates so less cleanup 😁
@@landocommando8 yes its a really ideal 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This looks like something good for rving too, doesn't take a lot of space.
I appreciate that your gear reviews actually are, meaning that you use the gear in a real way instead of just showing and talking about it, thanks!

Thanks for reviewing this for us. I already have a Stanley base camp set that i use all the time. May get this set too for backup.
Bought a set today to bring along on camping trips and long ATV rides.
I have one of these myself. I use it for camping 🏕 trips and we love it.
Very good cook set and you did an excellent job testing it. I'll definitely check it out on my next trip to Walmart. Thanks I242

I bought two of the mess kits like you presented a couple days ago and seen this too. Pretty good little kit as well.
Excellent Video As Always. 👍👍😎

Looked like a heck of a good lunch to me.
not for backpacking or hiking but for a family doing camping how could you go wrong, excellent product, good demo thanks for the review
Hi I just bought that thanks for the video Bro

Nice kit
Good price
I would ditch the sporks
Thanks for the review
You get a lot of bang for your buck with this kit. Most camping fry pans are at least $15-$20
Great kit for car camping!
Great review! I’ve been looking for this cool set for about a month. Finally found this cook and dine set in an Orlando Florida store while on vacation. I’ve looked for this in several cities in Florida and could only find the aluminum version which is the Cook and Eat.
Yeah since I did the review I have not seen them in my local Walmart until Yesterday, looks like they are coming back in stock
This looks like a great set up! I have a cook set “different brand” I plan on doing a video with. Maybe I’ll get to go out and test it soon!
I have a similar set it is pretty great.
I'd like to have that big pot, guess I'll end up with the whole kit lol.
Great review. We got a “two for one” there. Thanks.
Swap out utensils...good review
Saw your utube about the ozark trail 22 piece cook/fine set. Was wondering if he ozark trail stainless steel mess kit will fit inside the 22 piece set.
Nice
Will a lid fit the fry pan? Nice video. Northern Michigan here sitting in a snow bank:)
That's a great cook set but I'm even more jazzed about the way you refurbished the coleman stove. Did you make a video regarding it? Thanks for another great video. Atb - Luther
Sadly no I never made a video on fixing up the stove.. But it works great and didn't require too much work other than cleaning and painting. Thanks
Nice camp stove! What brand is it? I bought that set and haven't tried it yet. I hope they (pots and pans) don't burn or warp.
How Are the Ozark Trail Bottoms Compared To Stanley Adventure Base Camp Bottoms In Regards To Thickness For Durability ???
Awesome Review.

@@Iridium242
By any chance do U have some type of item number for this kit ???
All the Walmarts are far away from me,
Thank you.

I like the Stanley Base camp set better but this one would work for just a few times a year use easily. Its a decent set and is pretty well made!
Doesn't seem to be available in steel any longer, only aluminum. :(
Yea just got this and was able to completly bend the frying pan in half with barely any force. Big pot is pretty good plates and cups are good plastics and the smaller pot is soso still able to bend and then the lid doesnt set on it right
how has it held up? any issues over an open flame? looking to get a kit and am interested in this one
Great so far, I mean given the variety of gear I have I don't get to use it too often but its been great the times I have used it, no issues yet.
Too bad it didn't come with bowls
Yeah, but the cool part was I had no plates like this so it will come in handy when I go camping with friends because I always end up cooking lol
Truck camping/hunting base camp level gear.
Love the paint job on the stove. Did you do that with a sponge?
Yes
