In The Woods with French Army Surplus 

The M52 is by far my favorite mess kit

That messkit fits perfectly into the middle pouch in the bread bag

I'm adopting you as my American cousin, I also have a ridiculous amount of Army Surplus from almost every nation & I also have to use it all & not just look at it! Greetings from a pish wet Scotland!

Always enjoy your cooking videos. I tell everybody about them.

Great to see you out and about John. I have a French canteen that was gifted to me when an old friend passed. He kept it in his refrigerator full of water. He also had a Swedish Army M40 mess kit which I have also. Take care and God bless you and your family.

Yep, I have the same mess kit, and the GSI spatula. It’s good to have father and son time. Here in Southern California, it’s humid and hot. ✌️🇺🇸

I have been using the French army canteen for years and it is by far my favorite and go to canteen! Amazing piece of kit!

As a french I was searching a lid at the right size for my french cup , pathfinder seems to be perfect one !

Good video JOHN.REALLY ENJOYED YOUR DAY OUT. I HAVE ALL THE FRENCH ARMY KIT.EVEN THE RATION PACKS BON APPETITE

Always a pleasure, best wishes from a very wet England 🇬🇧

Nice video John, Good to see you back in the woods. That breakfast burrito looks really tasty man. Keep up the awesome work

Great to see you back John.

I don't have a French mess kit, but I do have a Dutch one and really like this design.

Welcome back. I really enjoyed your new mess kit cooking video.

Nice video John. Glad you're back!

Cool video John. Thanks much for sharing! Hope you have a great day!

I have a stainless version canteen cup As with all French kits, the good stuff 🥰

It's great to see another mess kit video. You got me into buying mess kits from around the world. 😅 The French cooking kit is one I'm missing. I have a British and Dutch version, and i have that French paratrooper canteen & cup.

maybe the best of mess kit in 3 parts it's fun and y am happy t you to be back good lunch

Cool thanks mate

Good to see you out again, thank you for the video

Good seeing ya John. My brother lives down in Florida. That heat makes me glad I come down in the fall lol Those French mess kits always looked really nice. I've been using the polish one for while. Might need to get one of those. I like the old Czech ones a lot too. I gave my nephew that one.

Never too much cheese!🧀😉😎👍🏻 Your breakfast looked very good. I have one of the Danish??? Sets I believe. I've used it a few times. I've actually have been wanting to attempt to make a lasagna in for awhile. I also received a stainless steel Japanese style mess tin last Christmas, which I haven't used yet. Hopefully, things will slow down for me and cool off a bit and be able to get out and cook something up. Good to see ya back. Thanks for sharing.

He’s back! Thanks John!

Just a wee tip.rib some wash up liquids on your base on the mess tins. After cooking just wipe clean. No sticky smoke stains.

Great to see you back John!! That mess kit looks interesting and breakfast burrito looks good. I really liked that Mc D’s picante sauce. Stay cool and hydrated and take care.

Great video John. Nice gear and awesome cooking. Greetings from a new subscriber from Indonesia

Welcome back John!!!😊

nice mess kit (I like the GI canteen cup kit and German mess kit that I have)

Yay, you're back!

Kinda funny that lid fits the French cup, but won't fit several of my USGI canteen cups. I have 40s, 50s, 80s and the only USGI cup the lid will fit is a 1963 issue. Otherwise it's great to see you back.

Great vid

Looks tasty!!!!

So good to see you back, missed you, also have the French cook kit love it…..would like to see the US bring something to the market other than what we already have…

Hello John depending on wether you want to avoid burnt fingers or maintain 100% authenticity try wrapping your canteen cup handles with 'self amalgamating plumbers tape' this is silicone based has to be applied under tension but allowed to rest after application will set and provide a certain amount of heat resistance Or buy a pack of Silicone drinking straws and depending if you can spring the handles free or not there are ways to cover the metal sometimes a little sideways thinking is required
