If you have read any of my posts, you know by now that my passion is the outdoors. The same goes for Dave Canterbury and the Pathfinder School. Among many other things, Dave is known for his New York Times Best Seller Series, Bushcraft 101. Dave and the Pathfinder school promote outdoor self reliance and primitive skills. Self Reliance Outfitters, the manufacturer of this product, Is the outfitter of choice for the Pathfinder School. They work hand in hand to develop and provide the best outdoor survival products, such as the Pathfinder Canteen Cooking Set, for people like you and I. If you are looking for reliable and quality gear, they are definitely a consideration.
I personally own a variety of Pathfinder products. Yes, there are other products that may provide more of a convenience factor. I have discussed some other products here, that could be more ideal if you know where you’re going, how long you’ll be there, and don’t mind carrying the fuel. The reason I’m a fan of these products is that they’re designed for being lighter weight and can be used in virtually any scenario. Once you’re away, its really hard to plan for the unknown.
