toaster bags.

Has any one given toaster bags a go as an emergency cooking pot over or near a fire? I would assume that they would work as they can take the heat of a toaster.

When I was in Scouts we used to boil water in a paper bag. The trick is to make sure that the flame doesn't touch it.

Cheers, Michael.

I was thinking of these the other day, I have access to something we call speed tape, which is just sticky metal tape , was thinking about covering a toasty bag and having a go as the direct flames would be ok on the tape but still be flexible and packable.

Think you can get a speed tape type thing in Plumbing suppliers...

If I recall correctly, the toaster bags are fine to 230degC, and a well tended campfire *can* reach 600.
They work, but with care.
I've seen them used to make toasties for breakfast, and to heat up pies and bridies, at camp though.

cheers,
Toddy

Food for thought. So to speak.
