Thanks for your comment GR, it's always nice to become aware that people are watching. Have a nice weekend 😊

Harry, such a pleasurable outting like that, in such a beautiful countryside, should almost be illegal. I won't mention the smock... Heximine is still, so far, legal here in the States. But I prefer (even at $1.25 a cube, from the "A") the good old Firedragon & BCB folding stoves. I'm itching to try out my new Dragoon Unlimited Bivy tent, but for the weather... heat indexes of 100° + . Take care

Stay cool mate, use plenty of bug spray and choose a fresher climate moment when it presents itself . Harry

You can buy hexamine powder by the pound from fireworks suppliers like sky lighter for under $20. You could either use it as is or press it into cubes.

Glad to see yer keeping yer vids guid bud. It's a joy to watch em. Keep up the guid work

I've always had a leaning to alcohol/solid fuel stoves, there's something about them. Let's face it tho, if the weather is windy it's a drag so I always reverted to gas. Recently I purchased an X BOIL, you should have a look at them. It's an alcohol stove that actually works really well. Thanks Harry for all your videos, I really enjoy them.

So good of you to comment David, yes, I'll keep an opem mind on fuel. With a good wind shield nearly everything performs well. Harry 👍

Thanks Nigel, great getting out even if knees malfunction during descent these days.😂

Sphagnum is great stuff, as you probably know its good for cleaning your pots and then you can put it back into the ground and it will still thrive. Cheers for bringing us along.

Greetings from Finland, near the Russian border. Good video. It's windy there. Cooking with military stoves is always fun. I modified the Esbit stove so that it can also use Trangia's alcohol burner and gas burner as well.

better to dig a small hole to put the cooker in out of the wind. Doing this back in 1974.

Good advice thanks. Also could place hexi stove inside larger tin even if having to replace lid method with foil. Of course my idea is usually to brew up quickly without braking even a blade of grass, then move on.

The rather dull, unromantic reality is that both dixies were probably never issued but kept in reserve stock, then Board of Survey'd and sent off as surplus for sale to the civilian market. I doubt they were issued as a set given the different manufacturing dates. Having said that, what if the 45 was used in Palestine and then Korea, the 53 went to Malaya and Aden.... I like the Brit ones as they are deeper than the Australian issue we used. I have both and never use the Aussie ones, just the aluminium Brit knock-offs. I find them versatile for all types of cooking in the field. As for the hexie law... I'd use up any I have, the odds of a copper catching you and knowing they are illegal now are pretty slim.

Thanks for your observations, very informative. Yes, it's sad hexi is outlawed but perfectly understandable in the interests of national security.
