I didn't know that Paul, but useful info for us all as we can strike jetboil off the list
MSR do a similar product as well, I know nothing about their position on "hunting" other than that in the US you'd alienate a lot of "outdoors" people by opposing it.
MSR[emoji2400] WindBurner[emoji2400] Windproof Personal Stove System | MSR Gear
Of late I've been carrying one of these:
WindPro[emoji769]II: Liquid-feed canister stove with superior cold-weather and low-fuel performance.
In the distant past I used to carry a flask but having a stove gives a lot more flexibility and I would carrying everything from a hexi burning "cup" basically to either of two MSR stoves I have. If you have to carry your water and are out for limited time etc. then a flask might still make sense but especially if you don't have to carry your water then a small gas canister and a stove are a lighter and more handy solution. The other thing I find about having to stop to "brew up" is it gives you a little break as opposed to just grabbing a slug from a flask and carrying on and there are benefits from sitting down for 10 minutes and looking around you while you brew up and drink your tea, again that will not suit how everyone operates but I actually find the "enforced" tea time a good thing.
Have a Thermos 900ml stainless steel double wall vacuum flask, This keeps anything hot for as long as you wish, certainly easily attaining the 24 hours and more. Excellent sealing system as well.OK guys I need some help please as my Mrs is blowing her stack saying I've a fetish due to the amount I've bought an binned.
Can anyone give me first hand knowledge of a hard wearing flask that will keep coffee HOT all day. Everyone I try is great at 10 o'clock but tepid by 1500, I still want to burn my lips on it in the truck on the way home after a long day in the field.
Much obliged

Stanley all day long.
Had mine years.
Key to them is pre heat them with boiling water for 20 mins and whatever you put in it thereafter will be steaming all day.
Mrs got me a sho flask, went camping last winter with it and coffee was still hot 14 hours later. Easy to clean aswell, not expensive eitherOK guys I need some help please as my Mrs is blowing her stack saying I've a fetish due to the amount I've bought an binned.

That's contrary to my experience with what sounds like the same type of flask!I have a small push button top flask that for carrying all day ... el cheap from supermarket and I do not find contents go cold straight away at all.
Can take a small cup / mouthful etc them do again hour n half later and still warm enough to enjoy

How much forthe Kelly kettle please ?hi got one for sale with extras if anyone intrested
I have a 2 litre glass flask that will (and has) keep water hot from Calais to Switzerland ! the trick is to add the milk and tea bag to the cup, for more normal use I have a Stanley 1quart stainless flask that I bought for windsurfing trips in the early 90's and with preheating will hold the drink hot for 8 hours even if you take a couple of cups out of it, again I tend to use hot water or black coffee in it as the narrow neck makes teabag extraction a real PITAThe trouble with vacuum flasks is size. Most will keep stuff hot for ages if unopened, but once you take a cupful out you let an equivalent amount of cold air in, and the remaining contents cools down rapidly. In a large flask, the cooling effect is less due to the larger volume of hot liquid remaining. However, for carrying in your pack all day you will want a smaller flask, say 500ml (which fits just handy in the small "drink bottle" pockets that most backpacks have these days), in which case as soon as you've taken out the first cupful the rest goes cold straight away.
One of the best tips for when you realise that you have gotten lost, when hiking... Brew up. Just the sit down and concentrating on something else (and re-hydrating), helps to make better decissions...... the "enforced" tea time a good thing.
