Preston Mess Kit: Lightweight and Space-Saving Design

This week I answer the question what makes a mess kit good, great, and awesome! We briefly examine some of the mess kits the channel has already discussed and introduce and examine an incredibly rare 1896 Preston mess kit which was promoted by Field and stream and Horace Kephart. The Kephart and Nessmuk Axes are SOLD, If you are interested my early 1900's cookbook please send me an email at mrdyersmusings@honorableoutfitters.com!
