- A different genre of gear... Sort of. One of the reasons I try to stay in shape is because I love the outdoors.

This unboxing was requested by my father. I am pretty ignorant about this type of gear so forgive some of my terminology slip ups while I learn. Let me know about this stove in the comments!
watch out for that smart pump. Mine started leaking after a handful of use!!
Dad approved.
Great video man. :)
I just bought this stove from a company in the US (delivered to Canada) and I'm waiting for Soto to bring an expedition maintenance kit to North America. I plan to take it on a 3-month remote trip over the summer.
I had a hard time deciding between it and the MSR XGK, and ultimately went with the Soto because of my great 10 year experience with the Soto Microregulator (which is phenominal), and the Stormbreaker's ability to burn isobutane/LPG indoors (with a CO alarm, of course). I'm very curious how well it handles diesel, but too afraid to try until I can buy replacement parts.
Gordon Lamb, I emailed Soto in March, they said maintenance kit for the Stormbreaker should be avaliable in a few months, depending on productions of parts..
I also have the Microregulator, great stove. I used my Stormbreaker (the one in this video) on a snow camping outing last month, 9500" (2900 meters) elevation melting snow for water. Worked great, the stove is quiet and very efficient, kept the stove burning for almost 5 hours on half to full burn, used a little less than 600cc of fuel (white gas), wind screen, MSR 2.5L pot with MSR heat exchanger. Not sure how the stove works with diesel.
Where are you going on your summer adventure? Have fun.
@@hideookada7492 I've used it a few weekends now in Ontario, Canada, near the Algonquin backcountry. 350m, -10C or so. It did work well, but it takes some practice. You really have to let it warm up on the "start" setting before switching it to run.
It was very windy and I had no wind screen the first time, and I ended up using about 250ml of fuel to make about 6L of water from snow. That seemed high, and the second time (no wind) was much better. Wind screen still a must.
This summer I'll be sailing from Lake Ontario out the St. Laurent, to the East coast of Canada (around Newfoundland). I plan to stop wherever I can along the way, climb and interesting rock I find, and spend many nights out in the wilderness.
@@GordLamb Yes this stove benefits from a wind screen and heat exchanger. I lost count of the quantity of water since I was preparing for a group of 6 and helping with dinner prep.
Wow, your summer adventure sounds great. Have a great time!
Want to ask if you canoed on your trip to Algonquin? I have been watching your fellow Canadians, Maddy the Goose and Happy Camper Kevin Callen. Love watching their adventures.
hey, I am wondering if someone sells fuel stand. I only needed that butterfly triangle stand. But the stove looks incredible really. thanks for the unboxing video.
Can the stove be used with propane canisters with an adapter?
Looking for this stove. Now 1 year later have you used it? how it feels?
Can you control the strength of the flame like with the msr dragon fly. Like can I simmer with this stove?
Yes, good control.
