- The minimal to bring on a day hike if you enjoy also cooking on the trails. Review of the Pathfinder Canteen Cup and Stove stand set up, and a comparison to my older canteen cup. Also the larger and smaller Esbit style stoves. If you have about 20 mins, I hope you’ll view, like, comment and subscribe! Love to hear from you and your thoughts on all of this! What would you carry, what would you discard from the sets? What do you think of these.. do you own one and have you been using it? Let’s talk about it!

Awesome kit. Very cool. Love from GREAT BRITAIN.👍🏴
Love your gear. I'm a gear nerd and my fingernails are always dirty. Your kit gave me some good ideas.
Your booboo kit can lose the tin. It'll be less bulky and the kit will still be waterproof👍
The sliding tab on that cup handle is supposed to be tight so that it doesn't pop out when you don't want it to. You should have to shove both of those side tabs down at the same time to lock it in place. You can adjust it if needed though, by bending those side tabs just enough so that it goes down but stays tight.
You’re right; Yes I clamped the two tabs attached to the cup itself and then pulled the tabs on the sliding mechanism forward (butterflied) and that has made a huge difference. It no longer releases on its own. It’s now my favorite canteen set.
I did not know that about the handwarmer powder, thanks! keep em coming.. I really like the "minimalist" approach as well..
Thank you for watching and for your comments! I appreciate you! Yes, the handwarmer powder when rolled tightly in cotton continuously between a couple pieces of wood, (creating friction), ignites the cotton enough to place into your nest of flammables. So don’t throw away your handwarmers after use, they can be repurposed in this way.
Looks like a solid kits. I like that canteen pouch with the zipper side pockets. Thanks for the video.. subbed your channel
This is a nice kit. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! And thanks for taking the time to comment!
I like this set up! Very well organized! Makes my water bottle kit look so disorganized lol! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! It definitely takes time to get things the way you want them and as they should be, but eventually it all clicks in and you realize from using your kit, what you need, what to discard and where it should be to easily find it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@MinimalistExplorerEDC my pleasure! Looking forward to your videos! :)
I'm not a bushcrafter nor a bushcamper, just a survivalist, so I go cheap - I think, my DD-tarp is the only thing that cost me more than 20€.
But hey, if you're out a lot, the Pathfinder stuff is very sturdy - expensive, but bullet-proof. That bag is perfect to be organized, quite cramped though, you might consider to put your lid underneath the stove, takes up too much space in the side pouch.
I don't like the Esbit-stoves, I'll go with a collapsable wood stove (BushBox-style) - with two steel pegs and an extra steel plate you can use it with a Trangia or fuel tablets too. Won't need the stove that came with the canteen&cup then and save you some weight.
Go out and enjoy
Thank you for your input and suggestions, I very much appreciate the advice!
Good information and nice kit.
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing this informative video. Greetings from Northern California. You are set for just about any emergency. Take good care of yourself and stay safe out there. 😊
Thank you and you as well my friend.
Good think about putting a sol thermal blanket in the Pathfinder canteen cover for shelter
Will do, thanks for the tip!
Good video. Good info.
How do you turn the battery around in a light with a built in non replaceable battery?
It’s a new flashlight, I haven’t had time to really look at it, so far all the lights I’ve purchased have either had tabs or the batteries turned backwards to keep them from draining. That being said, apparently I misspoke in this instance, so it just needs to be charged. I appreciate you pointing that out.
One thing I’m starting to add is an “electric” option. Collapsible kettle, electric water bottle or even old school electric coil.
Good info, thanks.
Thanks for watching it and your like and comment!
Nice kits, well thought out without being excessive.
Where'd you find those veggie cups at the end? I've never seen those before.
Thank you! I appreciate that comment! I try to pack as light as I possibly can, it took some time to decide what was not necessary and what was. The ole, want not need scenario. Lol! As for the veggie cups in the still photo at the end. You should be able to find those if your grocery store carry’s them, where you find the fruit cups.
Set the locking piece as you showed then hold the cup down while lifting the handle towards the cup. The locking piece will drop down.
It had been dropping down but the mechanism to hold it in place was too wide, so it would slide back out. I clamped them and brought the two pieces inward (butterflied) and it now locks in place. Thank you for your comment! I appreciate your input.
Well done on the video! Just wondering, any chance on doing a product review of our Firestarter?
Send me your product and I’ll take them out for an “in the field review”.
@@MinimalistExplorerEDC Awesome! Please pick the one you like...and I'll send it to you! All I need is a shipping address. :)
@@AllWeatherFirestarters I sent a message to your website, if you can send me your email info. to send?
Nice setup. I recently bought different, cheaper canteen stuff. TBD how that will work out.
Was that a little metal alcohol bottle that I saw? Do you like it? I have found many things that leak alcohol.
It is a mini alcohol bottle but I didn’t trust it so I only carry my olive oil in it for cooking. I purchase a container to carry the alcohol in, one that I found in a store. Those types of items I like to actually see to tell if it may work right by how it seals.
ive had that same esbit stove for 42 years...its still going strong, problem with trangia stoves is the huge bulk...
I can agree with that! The trangia does add to your carry and what I love about my Esbit is that it will work with different fuel sources. I won’t use the tablets because they smell like shrimp and permeate everything they’re in, but I have great experience using twigs in and I’ve used charcoal as well. I love that you’ve had your Esbit for 42 years! That is quite the testament to its sustainability! Thanks for your valuable input!
@@MinimalistExplorerEDC ive used cardboard and wax, hand sanitizer, all sorts with the esbit, they are just smaller versions of the british army cooker, which has adapters to hold the army nesting cup.. i like the esbit as my trangia messtin fits nicely on top, which is one of the smallest messtins around, while the trangia stove might be a good alcahol stove, the larger camp setups are hige for the fuel efficiency, and expensive, i got a coleman multifeul stove and billy set for much less than a trangia. rather than hexamine, dragon fuel gel is becoming popular here in UK, it can also be used as a sanitizer, and its non toxic....
Dave has a video on how to keep that handle up. Check that out.
I actually clamped the locks down and brought the mechanism’s that lock in place, forward to butterfly them so they fit securely in place. Thank you so much for your suggestion though! I very much appreciate you for that and none-the-less I will look for Dave’s video anyway to view it. He’s brilliant! Thanks again!
I've never seen a stove like your rectangular one. Any chance you remember what kit it came from or any details that might help me search it up?
The rectangle stove that I store my tinder and ignitables in? That is an Esbit stove, you can find it under that brand name either on Amazon or from Esbit Stoves. It’s been around since the 1940’s, different makes/models but similar designs. They have large and small, I have both but get more use from the larger (approx. 4” length) Esbit stove. Both fit comfortably in cargo pockets. The Esbit stove is linked in my description.
The very small one with the sliding top and round opening on top that I show inside an Esbit, that is for alcohol, it’ll come up on Amazon under Esbit stoves for alcohol burners, it came with two of those inside an Esbit, but it is not an Esbit, it’s a product modified and sold with an Esbit stove by an independent.
What color is the helikontex kitbag?
It’s the coyote tan
the only you care is about your food..
This is a canteen kit, it’s about cooking it. We can survive without food for 3 weeks~ish, but still it’s a canteen kit, food is what it’s for.
@@MinimalistExplorerEDC i just was kidding brother peace✌
No worries, I wasn’t bothered by your comment. Just clarifying. I did find it funny though.
Ummm
