Last Saturday I bought an unissued German Kochgeshirr (cook pot), postwar production of the M1931, Unlike most of the stuff I buy, I needed it to try baking Brotbacken im Kochgeshirr. My last attempt was literally flat and I'm sure it's only because I didn't have a genuine Kochgeshirr. However, I'll probably chicken out and just go by the local Swiss bakery for a loaf of their bread. I've accumulated a stack of various mess tins, some army, some mountain shop, and I try to use them all. Rectangular British mess tins are very practical but the Boy Scout mess kit I've had for over fifty years is pretty much as good as anything that's available. I'm still hoping for a gamelle individuel for Xmas. (Let's keep the X in Xmas). I also received a week or so ago an order of various Badger brand "balms." The so-called "healing balm" (for the hands) really works and I use it all winter long.

Plus 1. Hang onto that one though, the new ones aren't anywhere near as good. The pots (billy can) in the new ones is way, way shallower. I wish I still had my old one.

A coleman solo max cook set, really nice, very pleased with it and can't wait to use it. I've ordered some silicone tubing to put around the handles and that'll just about make it perfect for my needs.

Cheers
