Great review, really nice mess kit you have, good condition. I guess that the Swedish word you tried to pronounce is “enmanskök” it’s the Swedish word for one man stove or directly translated one man kitchen. Did you pronounced it correct? I’m sorry to have to say no, but good enough for me to figure out what word you tried to pronounce. Don’t be sad I think that’s a very hard word to pronounce for English speaking people. You don’t have the letter ö. The letter ö sounds a little like the i in bird or the u in fur and the k before the ö sounds a little like “sh” in fish. Maybe if you try to read it like “enmans shiuk” but without a pause between the two word. I don’t know if it makes any sense. As you see not the easiest word to pronounce 🙂

Thank you for the kind words particularly regarding my awful attempt at pronouncing enmanskök 🤣 Yes that was the word I was aiming for but clearly I had the incorrect meaning for it so thank you for the clarification also 👍 It's an awesome campfire cook system, thank you for watching it's very much appreciated Hope you have a great weekend, all the best Roo

I hear commenting helps the channel, I hope so! M40 is stainless steel, production switched to Aluminium in 1944 for cost although I think they claimed purely for better heat transfer to water/food. Great vid on a great bit of kit

I had one of these a decade ago. Great bit of kit used several times. Foolishly I sold it on when I was decluttering and moving post divorce. Back into the wild camping gig now, and have a Trangia 27, but really miss the Swedish kit still. Stop tempting me.

I bought 10 of these full kits unissued in excellent condition for less than $80 USD 10 years ago. For another $20 USD I added a camping utensil set a pot lifter and a stainless steel cup for each and they all fit inside large pot. The pot lifter is handy for moving heat shroud stand after cooking and large pot if wire handle is accidentally left under heat.

It's a very well designed cook set; there are no obvious capacity marks but the tops of the rivets for the strap loop on the big pot give you 500ml and 1 litre and if you fill the smaller section of the lid you get 250ml. They put a lot of thought into the design. ATB@@PreparedCamping
