Once I was done I thought I would test the MSR XGK Stove, the Decathlon cooking set and my custom water carrying system. I bought the cooking set and the stove a while back, the stove was second-hand and only 90 euros. To be honest, I haven’t had time to properly test them yet.

So considering that the weather was so good today and for this time of year, I thought… I’m just going to test the stove here in the garden, and then… No, I’m going to cook and have breakfast in the woods, oh yeah… and I’m going to also film it all, why not? So I packed everything I needed, grabbed my bike and I hit the road.

I didn’t care, the weather was good, my eggs were done cooking and I was enjoying everything.

As I mentioned before, the weather was glorious. I cycled at a relax pace to the forest where I picked a bench where I unpacked everything I took with me there. I put the stove together, gave it a few pumps and then turned on the fire. All went pretty smoothly and within about 12 minutes the eggs were ready and cooked.

In the meanwhile I was busy filming and snapping photo’s while people walk by and riding on horses. They must have thought… what is he doing? I didn’t care, the weather was good, my eggs were done cooking and I was enjoying everything. When I was done filming, which takes quite a lot of effort. I continued with my breakfast and enjoying the sound of the forest… So nice and I can definitely get used to this.

I’m glad I finally took the time to test the stove, the cooking set and my custom water carrying system. And I have nothing to complain about, everything performed perfectly. The filming also went well, but took a lot of time tho. That’s ok, because now I can get back into the groove. It has definitely been a while since I’ve filmed anything. A few years ago when I still had my production company, I was working on a film assignment every day. And at some point it started to become a burden. The good thing is that I am now enjoying it again, and that’s a positive thingy. Now I have also been able to establish an editing flow for future videos. Here is the result, I hope you like it:

It was a relaxed morning and I’ve had a delicious and simple breakfast. I also really enjoyed the forest, it reminded me when I was younger and also use to cook in the forest behind my house. Real total freedom. I am very happy with the stove, the cooking set and my custom water system. Once again I checked something off my list.

HPPY TRVLS ✌🏽
