Hot watre and melting snow all at the same time

Just seen this YouTube video and looks like a good way to have a brew and melt snow at the same time.

please comment and enjoy

And now the entire bushcraft community is throwing themselves at ebay to order that exact tea pot and bottle, lol

I think it would work with any similar typr of bottle and kettle, personally I have a trangia kettle and a wide mouth stainless steel naglene bottle to try it out with, it was mainly thhe concept of it

Just so long as it's a kettle with a spout to act as a vent it looks cool but I think if anybody tried it with a small billy you might create a steam build up leading to catastrophic results, especially if used inside your shelter!

Nice when a solution so workable presents itself to you like that....happened to me when the drive pully collapsed on my grinder last month and I just happened to have two obscure bolts in my van from something else that fitted perfectly

Thanks for sharing that

Cheers,

Bam.

Wouldnt like to carry the fuel to do it on meths but over an open fire it might work. id like to see a mesh insert to stop sudden fall of snow into kettle. it would be fiddly though unless on a large scale and it wont filter the crud as set up

Lot of wasted fuel with that 'method.'

 

[Teepee]

Interesting stuff Pete. Certainly wasteful of fuel like, but its maybe got a place in the armory. I reckon a plastic Nalgene is worth trying too.

I can't help thinking though that if I want a small amount of water quick and the flask was empty for some reason, I'd just melt a small amount of snow and then top up.

Maybe putting some coffee grounds in the kettle would make an autofeed coffee machine?
