All variations on somebodies original

. Obviously by the above posts they have been around since WW2 at least. Didn't really care whos version I ended up with, just had trouble finding one locally. Most camping stores etc just gave me a blank look when I asked for one or described how they worked.

I have an Aussie Bush Kettle. The wife was reluctant for me to spend the $100 on it, but now would not be without it. Hot fresh coffee in about 5 minutes or less. I carry a little metho burner with us so we do not have to find fuel. But it works well with stick/leaf litter or even paper products.

G'day All, Mines the same as in the posts by Redback and Reads90, brilliant piece of gear bought mine from K Slavins in Louth UK, and yes it sure does get people asking what are you doing and it boils H2o quicker than gas anyway cheers Dennis

I have a Ausey bush kettle fantastic, but it replaced an old one my grandfather orignally had, it finally rusted out some 10 years ago. My grandfather got it in the mid 1920's and I used it for years, unfortionatly
it was made of tin plated steel, but it gave fantastic service. The new ones
seem to be made of alluminum or other non rust metal and work just as well.
