I remember the first time you did a review on the jetboil. Based on your experience and recommendations we bought the same stove. One of the best items in our entire gear.
I would add a cozy. Easy and cheap to make. Supplies can be found at the dollar store. Cozy saves fuel consumption. Lots of DYI videos on how to make one.
So informative video Thank you Dean.As a beginner bikepacking enthusiast I did some purchasing mistakes and I am stuck with them for some time.This video is excellent for people who are starting to enjoy bike adventures
Jeez Dean! Lots of work for one clip, I imagine. Just finding the right spot, spreading your gear on the log and then going through the stuff and commenting (How many takes?). Very informative for beginners and seasoned bikepackers alike. Looking forward to see you cook next summer. 🙂
Yes it's a bit of work. The spot is one I use often so that part was easy. Believe it or not it was pretty much just one take. I just cut out what it isn't needed during editing. Of course there are times that I do start certain parts over again but for the most part I just ramble lol. Only about 7 months until the BT700! lol Cheers
“Great video, man! I had a lot of that gear before I fine-tuned my cook set. The only 2 items I still use from your list are the water filter-it’s brilliant! I have both the 1-liter and 3-liter gravity feed versions. The only downside is that the filter needs to be replaced every 1,000 uses. I also switched to a real fork and spoon. I did have a few foldable sporks made out of titanium, but I prefer, like you, the real culture of using proper utensils.” My Cook System 2024 • Optimus Polaris Optifuel: Multi-fuel stove, works anywhere in the world. • Keith’s Multi Pot: Incredible pot that doubles as a steamer, oven, and regular pot. • Sea To Summit Frying Pan: Non-stick; I used to have a titanium one, but I don’t recommend it. • TOAKS Titanium Cup (450ml): 14 years old and still going strong. • Keith’s Titanium Spork & Beer Opener: Lightweight and functional. • Real Cutlery (Knife, Fork, Spoon): Prefer these over sporks for a proper eating experience. • Titanium Chopsticks: Durable and compact. • Keith’s Titanium Coffee Filter: Expensive but totally worth it for great coffee. • Snapfold™ Solo Pack: Incredibly light, packs down small, as thin as paper. • Titanium Wind Breaker: Still going strong after 12 years of use. • YETI Rambler (2-liter Insulated Bottle): Keeps water hot or cold for up to 24 hours. • Sealed Food Container: I don’t cook lunch, so I use it to store dinner leftovers for tortillas or wraps. • 2 x Lighters: Both are see-through so I know when it’s time to replace them.
@ yeah long time trail and error to get my cook set dailed in wasted a lot of money on other setups but happy with this one main thing is I can eat real food while on long distance tour
Hey Dean, thanks for the video… Lots of great advice! I particularly like that little collapsible straw for heating up the coals in a campfire… That makes perfect sense, I think I’ll go get me one! Cheers! 😊🚴♀️☀️
Hey Reinhart. It's a very useful tool. Especially with wet wood. Here is the link. It's a company out of Mississauga. www.canadianoutdoorequipment.com/eog-v3-pocket-bellows.html
Awesome, thanks you for the great video Dean!
Thanks Jeremy! Happy New Year!
That's a brilliant log for filming!
Yes I have used it in several videos over the years!
Nice vid. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Thanks Mark. Cheers
I use the colman french press that you can cook in that way it cuts down the steep time.

Great to hear!!

That’s a good review of all your gear Dean. I love my Jetboil. It’s so quick and efficient. I think my next purchase will be a frying pan.
Thanks Julie. I would recommend staying away from the nonstick pans.

You can't go wrong with freeze dried meals!
