During his trip to Casablanca to meet with Churchill, FDR used this U.S. Army mess kit at a field luncheon while visiting Rabat, Morocco, to review American troops on January 21, 1943:

I didn’t always cast an envious eye over the regimental mess kit (evening dress) of other friends who belonged to other regiments. I was quite happy with my own.

But I am finally willing to admit - and I know she is reading this - that the King’s Royal Hussars mess kit (made for women by Dege & Skinner Savile Row tailors) is quite spiffing.

A basic fold away mess kit was my art for today. Also modifying the card template to include counters on the side that you can mark with paper clips. Good idea? Think of a better way? Or would you just rather write the number on your character sheet? Let me know.

How To Make a DIY Tuna Can Backpacking Stove

Bringing a rocket stove and propane canister on your backpacking trip can be cumbersome and it can weigh you down. Fortunately, with a little bit of DIY innovation, you can make your own pocket stove using nothing more than a can of Tuna. You don't have to use a can of tuna either, it can be any small aluminum can.

Pros:

Lighter than carrying a stove.

Doesn't take any extra space in your pack.

Cons:

Can't adjust flame.

Have to wait for fuel to burn out.

Need some type of fuel or alcohol to make it work.

How To Make a DIY Tuna Can Backpacking Stove

What you'll need:

Aluminum can.

Fuel or alcohol.

Knife or hole punch.

Camping mess kit (optional)

1. Empty Your Can and Remove Label

First, you're going to want to finish eating whatever is inside the can, and clean it so there aren't any bits of food left inside. Also, remove the label because this can catch on fire once you light your fuel.

2. Punch Holes In Your Can

With your hole punch or survival knife, make holes near the top of the can. You don't want to punch your holes too low or the fuel you dump in will just leak out.

3. Add Fuel and Light Your Stove

Now you can add a flammable liquid of your choice. A flask of Everclear works just as good as lighter fluid if you're saving space.

As you can see, the flames don't get smothered when you add your camping pot due to the holes you cut in the side.
