I've been looking at various messkits for a while, my current kit that lives in the car is a soviet spetznav type. Looks like the german/swedish types but has a metal canteen instead of the second shallow pan.
On its own i think its great for travelling as it aluminium, compact and the canteen. Still as my vehicles is a small suzuki 4wd that goes to remote places i have been searching for something that will house my soviet messkit and a lot of dried 'just add water' meals and energy bars etc but still keep the total volume to a minimum. So i can stash it behind the dash so it stays dry and cool.
Enough with the prologue, anyone have any experience with these from the UK?
Mil.Com Billycan 6 piece setIt may be a little overkill for its purpose but it does seem like a nice set up for small group outdoor occasions and impressing female friends with my unexpected outdoor culinary skills "What? This? Just a little something i had..." "blah blah... "no no... its nothing really"
(Did this recently with seafood kebab sticks at beach day with a flat metal oven plate and a single butane gas burner)
The milcom set is inexpensive but postage and exchange rates to australia leave me a little hesitant to buy something that will leave me dissapointed.
I'm not really fussed about new, are they common on ebay? (ATM the only listing i found is approx AU$45 posted)
Also anyone got any leads on a DIRT CHEAP small skeleton stove that plugs into a conventianol butane aerosol can? The one i have at the moment is great but its the size of a small Laptop bag
