    Bought a “used”/ consigned Kelly Kettle, Base camp in stainless steel for $49 dollars today. Came with the full kit , pots pans, stands, bag, etc.

    And when I say “used” I really mean not a speck of dirt and stickers still attached :)

    Only thing I need to buy for it is the new whistling cap. And I might add a additional pot stand. But even without it it should last for a very long time.

    Took me a second to figure how to show it all.

    I ordered up a replacement “whistle stopper” (Green one) for safety and the “new” pot support that goes under the whole system or on top to hold a cooking pot. (Support not arrived yet)

    Kettle
    Fire base
    “Hobo stove”
    Pot and pot grabber tool
    Pot lid
    Grill
    Pot support

    Mine is now the “whole system” minus the 2 cups and 2 plates.

    @KnOeFz
    As far as I know the base camp is the biggest.

    I am not sure how the smaller ones compare size wise but the base camp I would say is about the size of a 3 liter soda bottle. It is Def not something you would want to hike with but it is small enough I would bring it in the car even if I don’t really need it.

    Molle back for my beloved 6 and the Big Bad Stove.

    I would like the back better if it was a one piece backing, like on the Junglas, but I understand why it uses 2 pieces. Still a lot better for belt carry with a pack with a waist belt that the clip IMO. I might have someone sew both pieces of molle strap on the back together, just for a bit of extra security. Although I doubt the plastic thingy will break, it looks solid.

    The stove is, as the name says, Big and Bad :D
    I will use it this weekend.

    I didn't need it but I've had the same one about 7 years now and wanted something different. Bought it at a local small leather shop business that makes them in house. 20220912_143115.jpg 20220912_143121.jpg

    My TuffPossumGear Shackleton satchel, IFAK pouch and CitizenE GITD mini donuts finally arrived.

    I guess USPS and Canada Post knew it was a Shackleton satchel, so they decided to route it on a adventure all over the USA , and all over Canada for the last 3 weeks. This Shackleton has already been to 30 plus different cities in the USA / CANADA :D

    started organizing the man bag

    I'll be honest, I was expecting a larger bag. This one is pretty tiny. (Absolutely no disrespect to Brother Possum intended). I'd like to see a larger bag from him, maybe 20" x 12" x 5"

    it's pretty cool though. Really needs a 4x6 Velcro panel on the outside of the flap , for patches.

    I’ve had this book in my online shopping list for over a year. Prices have been crazy high for new to well used condition still expensive.
    Stopped at a local bookstore last week looking a book on guns and the next shelf section had “other outdoors”
    First book I spotted and in like new condition. And only $16.00!

    James Gibson recommended!
