Video Transcription

hi everyone I'm up for a little bit of a walk today and I thought I would film a quick video on how i improvise using this small transduce though when I'm out for a day hike to heat water for a root or to do a little bit of cooking on I don't like to carry the whole trend you set the sudden you can do it's very very quick and very very simple to heat a small amount of water or a small amount of food so let's have a look at how we do that

so you can see here that I've got my small change of mass burner burning however as a standalone thing if I try and put my cook set on this it's going to go completely out that is now out and will not ignite so what we have to do is we have to find some way to raise this pot from and it's very very simple today all I've done is I've cut myself three wooden stakes and I'm just going to push them into the ground the equal deaths it's one another equally spaced around burner being careful not to knock it over now my cook set is quite small so these have to go right up against the burner now with this type of burner you want to get that that pot is close to the flame as you can meths doesn't give the strongest flame in the world doesn't give the hottest burn so yo you see my pot it's really nicely on the top of that and we can light the thing is going pop my Styles on the top now one thing you'll notice is that the wind it's causing this to blow right a lot and there's a few different methods you can do to improvise and prevent that from happening one of my favorite things to do is just to take my fold up seating map and just put it to one side as a little wind break or you can also point ball it slightly to give it a little bit more stability as a windbreak just be very very careful the wind doesn't change direction and hit this because of course it's plastic and therefore flammable but it does the job just forget in just for getting a you know cup of hot water or whatever no to pop that out all we do is drop that fit on the top and we're done so there you go guys just a quick video and a little bit of improvisation up in experimenting with it's not perfect it's subject to the wind and change but so far it's worked out quite well to go with this and working on bait making a little tiny kind of fabric windbreak to go with it to try and improve it a little bit i just thought i'd share it with you guys to get your thumb ultimate so as always thank you for watching please like share subscribe comment all that stuff and i'll see you the next video thanks everyone
