Haha, 3 pages of tea/flask related banter. Anyway, tried the flask of water and tea bags seperatley today, was ok, but I must agree with Mr skyhuck it isnt the same. Gonna have to invest in a portable kettle. Which is best? i.e price, practicality, speed to boil etc???? (lets have another 3 pages of porta kettle arguing haha)

Hey, i have a storm kettle, a variation on a kelly kettle, stored in an old ammo box it goes on the wagon as a unit, with sugar, instant white tea (not as bad as it sounds), and a couple of mugs. Light a small fire in the base and it boils in just a few minutes depending on how dry the kindling is. Lets face in our line of work there is always a bit of deadwood kicking about, and we all carry petrol, so starting it is no issue. However it normally only goes out with us if we are working out in a field somewhere or on a site clearance, as people have pointed out if doing work near civilisation it is easier to rely on the customer or local shop. Having said that its a great way to warm up especially on these cold mornings.

Don't faff about with twigs and paper like ray mears etc.

 

quickest way to boil the kelly is some fresh sawdust/shavings and a glug of chain oil and splash of 2 stroke mix, boils in about 2 1/2 mins.:scared1:
