    Kelly Kettle with Updates and Mods

    It's not about 'time of boil'. You're cooking breakfast, you put the KK on the grill somewhere, and you don't have to feed it, you have a fire going.

    It may take longer on a fire but you also don't have to feed it.

    I've used them on a campfire, and I've also used them on a Coleman Stove. Teach a kid to drop pine cones down the chimney of a KK and you'll never have to tend the stove again.

    Kelly Kettle with Updates and Mods

    As a 'Starter,' I carry Birch Bark and collect fine confer bows. When starting hold the base on its side with the hole down and hold it until the flame catches. Make yourself an air hose out of silicone tubing with a cut-off cleaning brush handle in the fire end for bellowing the fire (Lower...

    I took my Gomboy with us on an Allagash run this year. My son broke a 1/3 of it off. I've never broken a Friskar Saw

    Good idea?

    As was mentioned above if you could use it for inflating mattresses, hook it up to a water filtration system, maybe. But I'm not spending $100 for a plastic paddle. I'll stick with my Gallon Jug with the bottom cut out of it, $0.

    I can feel your pain Black_Fly, my first trip is coming up, and I've got a painful 5mm Kidney Stone to pass before I can go. Good luck with your recovery.

    Joe Seliga’s “the art of the canoe”

    It is a great book, I really enjoyed reading it back in the day when I thought I'd like to build canoes as a retirement gig. When the book arrived I opened it to the inside family picture to find it was signed by Joe who signed it as 1906 but later in the book it reads 1907. Mom, Dad, and Sis...

    Is your First Aid updated?
