    I'm not a backpacker but that was a SUPERB video. A great amount of thought goes into taking what you need to match your personal style and it's fascinating to hear the different perspectives. Looking forward to the next one!

    Excellent breakdown and good video. I'll give you my favorite breakfast. I take a couple cups of cinnamon toast crunch and put it in a freezer bag with a couple teaspoons of powdered milk. Instant trail cereal for cheap and bonus, you can pour the leftover cinnamon milk in your coffee for creamer.

    If you want more mileage out of the mountain house meals, swing through the rice isle and grab the appropriate flavor precooked rice. Stir in one or two packs of rice and you’re easily in the 12-1300 calorie range.
    For starter equipment, there’s the Stanley adventure pot in Walmart for $15. I’ve been using an ozark trail brand canister stove and Coleman fuel canisters also. It boils water just fine for cheap summer camping. I use an MSR whisperlite and white gas if it’s below freezing.

    Great Video. Full of good knowledge for anybody looking to to some cooking while camping. I would like to add a little bit more info.
    Alcohol stoves are not allowed in a lot of the camping areas where I live. One of the best fuels for an alcohol stove is grain alcohol (Everclear or something 190+ proof). It burns hotter and is multi use. Lots of people spill their alcohol fire cause they cannot see the flames and think the fire is out. For that and other reasons, I strongly agree alcohol stoves are not to be used in the vestibule of a tent.
    Best ways to increase the efficiency of your gas stove is to use a lid and to match the flame size to the bottom of your pot. See GearSkeptic's very good video on this subject. (All his videos are master class level).
    Last comment is I sometimes use my rocket stove. There are many types of "twig" stoves and they are generally the lightest as you don't need to carry fuel, just scrounge up some twigs when you get to camp. Down side is creosote on your pots.

      Solid info! Funny enough, I actually edited out the part I had about a wood stove lol. I’ve never used it enough to really talk about it intelligently lol. But yes, there are some places that alcohol stoves are not allowed. Good call out!

      Liquid dish soap on bottom of pot prior to cooking. Creosote rinses right off.

    I'm starting to lean more the foldable titanium wood stoves. I tried using those wood pellets made for home heating. Works great. I even put charcoal briquettes in them. A fifty pound bag cost me 10 dollars and I've cooked many meals

      I have one of those too lol. I just don’t like all the mess it makes.

    If your going to camp in bear country I suggest you keep bear spray close to you in your tent. Here we have about 2 bears per square mile
