    The distance between the top of the burner to the bottom of the pot is too long. Its OK in the US as they burn methanol base fuels but in the UK with Methylated Spirits that we have as fuel it leaves a lot of soots on the bottom of the pot. Need to reduce the distance.

    This is a great video! I have noticed that lots of people begin, but do not complete, the Lone Star Trail. For a flat trail, it must pack a hard punch. Maybe its the repetitive motions? and many can't complete it due to water. I would like to try it someday.

  • @charlietango1635
    @charlietango1635 Před 4 lety

    You need to raise your penny stove onto the two pins that go through the little holes in the side, as the flames are far too low, they are not touching the base of the kettle.

      On the contrary, I think it's easy to abuse some of the light delicate packing cookware with high heat. This looks perfect to cook your steak, eggs&bacon on. Maybe wrap foil around when outside..?

      @@charlietango1635 didn't mean to offend you mister tango. You are obviously correct. The closer the fire, the higher the heat. This cool stove is very versatile. Everyone is a critic& has insight on everything. I was telling the author of this video that there is not just one way to use it, & if you can get by without scorching, it might be beneficial to the longevity of thin lightweight nonstick pans. I work with Sterno gel fuels under schaefer pans everyday. Your advice is great, but your bitter sounding reply made me watch a 2+ min. Video about some random hiams company. I'm sure that wasn't your intention, but if it was then, good play sir. Lol

    You might wanna store that stove in a ziplock so you don't get sick :). Just FYI, you can replace the snow peak lid with a jetboil lid and coffee press (just need to shorten the plunger a bit so it doesn't hit you in the face while drinking). Then you can make real coffee and won't need another cup as the JB lid also protects your lips BTW.

    It's a nice pack,,. my friend has one. But not sure what you are saying about an aspray pack from REI being much heaver. The ospray atmos is 40 oz and a very comfortable pack. As far as ultra light packs, this pack is heavy compared to something like a zpacks made of Dyneema and only 21oz. Again, this is a great pack,.. but not heaver then an ospray and heavy compared to an ultra light pack at 21oz.

    Nice hiking campout. In your video you showed poles laying there at a campsite, I could be wrong but I believe those were left there for anyone who wants to erect a canopy dinning fly can lash these poles together. When I camp in the wild I search the woods for any down trees and usually there are plenty of dead limbs/logs to use. Just my opinion. Thanks ! I enjoyed these hiking camping videos.
