Looking for the name/make of the kettle uncle Ray normally uses the one with the wire folding handles and pouring spout he had two sizes on the wild food dvd I was watching the other night, I've had a look around but can't seem to find the bloody thing.

Any Links greatly appreciated

cheers Steve, Rich it's neither of those, it's the one that's about 4 inch deep and and out 12 to 14 inch across, I'm usually pretty good at finding things but this seems to elude me lol

I've seen RM using a Trangia kettle on some of his Tele programmes

The only one I can think of is the MSR Teapot (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005MYLMHY/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=103612307&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B004Z94YNG&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=02ERV499ZJEXEKZJZA11) which I use.

I think Tatonka do one too, but it probably costs twice as much.

This is the closest I've found. Believe it's the small one that he uses. 1.5L kettle by Eagle Industries. Never found another source but got one from the above shop. They reply to e-mails in English so asking them for more info should be easy.

It's an eagle coffee kettle, they quite hard to get hold of in the UK, I got mine from Norway, direct from eagle, the man to speak to is Thor, nice bloke, speaks really good English, there set you back about 25-30 with shipping

Seems I was mistaken about the manufacturer's name, it is in fact Eagle Products. After much searching I have found their website. http://eagleproducts.no a translation tool will be required if you don't understand Norwegian. They make 3 of these kettles, 0.7L, 1.5L and 4L.

It is indeed an Eagle kettle; http://baalteknik.dk/kogegrej-37/kedler-og-kander-48/baalkedel-rustfri-staal-med-kobberbund-274.html

Good pieces of gear, quite heavy though. You can use them as cooking pots as well.

I contacted Eagle Products and they sent me to a site which ships internationally. Although they don't have all Eagle products on their site, they assure me they can get all of them.

cheers againMy friend Matt (http://www.naturalbushcraft.co.uk/forum/member.php?43-Matt) has a kettle identical to this, not sure where he got it from probably a bushcraft-carboot with a bit of luck he might say where he found his on here.

RE Tatonka gear I do like some of their stuff, good quality but yes expensive.

It makes two good sized brews, and has enough left over to swill in the cups. A few features I really like are the fact that you can just nestle it into the fireside, the handles cool down magically quickly and if you have one of those cheap nesting ally pot sets (which I do), it fits inside the middle one, meaning you can swap it for the small one.

I have one of these, mine's an Outwell and was purchased from Taunton Leisure who don't seem to have any now. They have always been as rare as rocking horse do do but do turn up occasionally, Blacks have been known to stock them also but not at the mo. Mine was termed as an Outwell 1.2l stainless steel kettle.

Happy hunting,

Matt.

as posted above, you can get them shipped to the UK from this guy

http://www.techthor.com/lamp/shopexd.asp?id=233

Very prompt and great service (not affiliated, just a pleased customer) at the time they were 230.09 NOK each (Oct 2011) with delivery and fees.


Hope that helps
