The Swiss Made Good Stuff....M1940 Mess Kit/Cooker

[1srelluc]

Both the Swiss and Swedes used these, about the only difference is the Swedes used aluminum and the Swiss stainless steel....Both used a SVEA alcohol stove.

You got a pan, pot, burner, stand/wind shield, a bottle for fuel, and a storage bag. The Swiss fork and spoon was just in there.

I keep a Swedish version on my 4-Wheeler.

That's slick. Looks like the Wehrmacht mess kit.

Steel would be heavy though. Aluminum sounds better for purpose.

The US had an all purpose mess kit at the time.

LOL, the video reminded me of a late-Sun.-night show we have here--"The Outdoorsman, with Max (formerly Buck) McNeely." Buck died and his son took over.

You MISSed the Swiss on that one, LOL. Swiss Miss is made in Menomenie, WI by Conagra which is based in Chicago.
