    Excellent combination
    There is no heat loss and when you burn it at a low flame (hold your hand at the side of the pot) and the gas usage is minimal so the simmer is superb
    I use the titanium foil windshield which weighs almost nothing but adds to the performance
    I cook real food like lentils, so I soak them then cook using a cozy
    I used it for six weeks in Scotland staying in bothies
    It is very stable and easy to use in a tent vestibule in poor weather

    I bought a Jetboil when I started backpacking. It works great...checks all the boxes. But trying to shed weight, I bought the Soto Windmaster and and a Toaks 650ml. Works just fine. I like trying different combinations of things. It's fun to expand your horizons.

  • @jpriddle
    @jpriddle Před rokem +1

    Great rundown and appreciate your balanced comparison. One additional differentiator that you mentioned on the higher end JetBoil is the regulator. That’s one reason the Amicus and PocketRocket 2 are smaller and less expensive that the Windmaster and PR Deluxe. This gives maximum efficiency as the fuel canister empties. I’ve had my fair share of wimpy boils because the canister was almost finished.

  • @LostAgainwithJim

    Last year I switched from the JetBoil Mini Mo to a TOAKS Titanium 1100ml Pot and a MSR Pocket Rocket II. The pot is probably a little too big, and I sometimes wish I’d gone with the 750ml, but I have found the extra capacity useful at breakfast time. Being a coffee drinker, and always wanting hot food in the morning, it’s nice to be able to boil enough for both in one shot.

    I have the Olympus system, and is pretty amazing. A 2-piece system that has a folding base, can contain my gas source, and has an adjustable burner (similar to the pocket rocket, and i have a variety of other burners, one similar to the MSR windburner, that I can swap out if I wish). Holds 2 cups water, plus one in lid. Lid fits snugly into lip of larger base. No igniter, but use mag and knife to spark it. I think you would like it too.

    You pretty much covered it all as far as canister stoves go. I think a lot depends on what type of backpacking your doing and length of trip. I own way to many stoves and cook kits. Now that I am retired and hiking much further and for longer times weight is key. I am a Toads 550 with a BRS. Without the lid the stove and pot is under 3 oz. The BRS works great for about one oz. The Jet Boil is just to heavy. Maybe for shorter cold weather trips. I think I would just go with the MSR multi fuel and run white gas. I do like my Soto stove too but compared to the BRS it’s heavy which is saying a lot. Yeah I am a gram counter because I have to be. Nice video thanks

    I have the MSR Pocket Rocket and I love it for the most part. It boils water fast, I use the cup for making beverages & it’s lightweight. However, last fall I had stopped at a shelter for a break & since it was cold & windy, I decided to make a hot cocoa. I admit that I didn’t think about the wind, which played a big role in what occurred. As I was lighting the stove, a gust of wind came and I burned the 💩 out of my thumb when the already lit fuel blew into me. 😳 Thankfully, it was just a small spot on my thumb, but it was a 3rd degree burn that required medical attention. I’m now thinking that the Jetboil might be safer in windy conditions.

    That Stanley pot is really solid for $10-15 depending on where you buy it. The only things I don’t like about it are… 1. It’s very tall and narrow compared to other pots. I never tipped it, but always am on edge using it, because it feels like it would be really easy to tip. 2. If you put a small fuel canister in it, it’s such a perfect fit, it makes a vacuum and is a pain to get out.
    Otherwise, you can’t go wrong if you’re on a budget.

    Jetboil and MSR great for up on the moorlands, peak district type scenarios, the others, although may cost a bit less but arguably more versatile, end up costing more due to amount of gas needed in less than optimal conditions. Of course you can use a windscreen but then this is more money and storage space...I bought a Windburner on sale for £105 about 4 years ago. Still in perfect good as new condition. But I think the Jetboil Minimo would be my pick because of the regulator and the versatility of what you can cook on it.

    I feel that not mentioning the duel canister stoves that sit on the ground makes a difference in options as yes it it a little bigger than something like a pocket rocket but the option to use standard canisters or the long butane canisters that you would use more in a camping stove hob makes a huge difference if you are caught out mine even has a ignition clicker on it and being sat on the ground is far less likely to tip or suffer reduced heat with winds and drafts it also let’s me have the option to use titanium cookware to counter balance the slight increase in size and weight and if I use something like a 750ml titanium pot with lid the cooker fits fine inside “if I have a micro canister that could even fit inside as well” so really the only benefit to not using it is boil time on the grossly over priced models or weight but only by ounces “you could unknowingly do this by bringing items you don’t need like camera equipment anyway” but the pro’s for me way out play the con’s like the gas bottle’s over here in the uk the standard camp stove bottles are on average 2-3 times the price of the long thin camp job style bottles that sometimes even have more capacity and fuel inside so not only is my cooker and pot about £50 total but can on can of gas I can save equally I have less change of spills or damage to the bottle connection because of how the pipe and burner sits and options for any cooking pot to sit on top or if I wanted I could use a toaster to heat bread or a camp toastie maker I know it won’t win in every situation but for the average person going out for a hike or a wild camp or pit stop camping wile traveling it “in my opinion” beat’s the standard or jet systems nearly every time 👍🏻

I thought cold soaking was crazy but after trying some at home 1st and coming up with some meals thay work great I decided to go that route instead.

    When I started coldsoaking I used a Gelato jar but lately I got a titanium cold soak jar/cooking pot by vargo the main reason for this was in a pinch I could melt snow in it with a small fire or small wood stove since I got to a point or two on the pct where I got close to needing to do that but because of water cashes from amazing angels uncomfortable didn't become unsafe shout out to devil fish the trail angels out there are amazing

    imo you can't beat the Jetboil Stash pot (buy from Jeremiah Stringer for a little more than half off for just the pot 🤣) with the Soto Windmaster. This will be the most fuel efficient and best overall performance from the stove and against the wind. It'll only be around 3-4 grams of fuel to bring 2 cups to a boil in around 1min 30secs. The best lightweight for gas stoves goes to the Toaks 650ml and the BRS 3000. For 3 ozs total (if you ditch the Toaks carry bag) you get a lot less weight, fuel efficiency & performance in the wind with a much higher boil time. But the 650ml will enable you to boil 2 cups without it spilling over from the 550ml model.

    I watched an expert on nuclear bombs talk about what could happen after some of the bombs drop. He made the comment about the evolution of 'the bomb' and how in the early days radiation fall out was huge. He described how the fall out actually occurs and then pivoted to todays weapons. He said the kind of fall out that folks are in fear of, will never happen with todays arsenals due to their detonation altitude for maximum destruction. The truly deadly fall out only happens when a bomb is detonated at ground level, the radiation attaches itself to dust/dirt particles and becomes the ongoing deadly fall out we hear about. However, when detonated at the military-altitude the radioactive components of the bomb are destroyed by the heat generated from it's detonation. No nuclear winter that we've all come to believe will happen.

I know most people won't backpack with a skillet, but for car campers that wouldn't mind a small stove setup but would be ok bringing a heavier cast iron skillet. holy crap, how many times have I typed the word skillet?!

    I've ran the gamete of stoves from Butane , White Gas , Propane , Solid fuel , Alcohol , both Trangia's and homemade pop can ones. Even a small cooking fire under a small grill or just the fire by itself. When it comes to choosing the one complete Ultra Light system ( besides a small fire ) it's the Evernew Appalachian, titanium , alcohol set. I also have a well used , blacken , Stanley pot among a wide assortment of pots. One I do not have and don't plan on ever having are any of the Jet Boil ones. No particular reason , I just don't care for them.

    Anyone else not prefer the tall, thin pot design? I'd rather have a more traditional wide pot.
    Honestly, for just boiling water, I got myself a GSI Halulite kettle to use with my pocket rocket. It works well and it's one of the less expensive options.

    @shoestringsev4529 Před rokem

    Not bad advice but lets take it further. Sticking with the BRS3000 budget burner, like most a wider bottom pot is better, no one wants a tippy tower cooking accident. So swap out that Stanley tall boy for a small kitchen pot, like a grease pot often found in dollar stores or splash out on a wide bottom Ti pot. Now if you don't know most camping cookware is rebranded Fire Maple stuff. Different companies hire Fire Maple to manufacture their stuff and sell it under their own brand name. Now Jetboild are great no question but no mention of alcohol burners, HEET in the yellow bottle found nearly everywhere in the world? The All in one Trangia pot set cook for anywhere between 1 and 5 people with ease. For the gram weenies and long-distance backpackers there are Ti alcohol stoves but nothing get you down in weight like DIY for example a wicked cat can stove with a piece of aluminium backing tray cut down for a windshield. For the diehards there are those chemical tabs too but those sucker can ruin your food if they are not kept sealed and far away from your food. Honourable mention for gel stoves.

    All of these are great if you do nothing other than boil water for freeze dried food or cups of coffee or tea. If you want to actually enjoy a real meal for one person, you absolutely cannot beat a Trangia Mini with it's pot and nonstick pan that fits a small isobutane canister and BRS inside...

    So how long do they take to boil water? Whats the point of a comparison without actual performance? How much fuel does it use? What are the weights of the burners and cookware?

    You skipped the $8 ultralight option:

    Carries the gas can, the stove, a bag of coffee, a cleaning pad and soap....weighs almost nothing. Seals up with included top.
    Costs almost nothing. Weighs almost nothing.
    Recycle instead of buying new carbon footprint to go enjoy nature.
