    I work at REI and was showing a customer the toaks 750 pot. Right as I said "too bad that lid doesnt snap on" they turned it upside down and it stayed put. Too my surprise, just that one on the shelf was slightly bent or out of shape enough to just barely snap on. He was sold immediately haha.

      I live in Alaska. We’ve had wildfires a lot recently. So I adjusted by grabbing a Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme when heading out before getting to the wilderness. And a sub for the first lunch or dinner whilst setting up camp. It makes life easier. The trash gets thrown in a gallon baggie in the bear canister to cut down on food smells. Bears are big here 🐻😂💕🏕️

    The Soto Amicus stove on Amazon shows at $48.95 (NOT $84.00, like the MSR, which, by the way has been reduced to $75.15, as of 01/10/2024) The Soto Windmaster stove (my personal favorite) shows at $64.99 (regular $69.99). I'll stick with my Windmaster; it has been a GREAT stove, with no problems, regarding the igniter!

    Strictly water boiling here also.
    For my hikes I use a 750 alu pot (+wobbly lid) which fits a gas canister and a MSR Pocketrocket 2 stove, true to it's name.
    Plus I use a foldable plastic tripod for the canister for stability and also a piece of 'extra strong version/ribbed' household alu foil (with double folded edges for some extra strength) as a windscreen or protection for inside-tent cooking.
    The alu can be folded/reused many times and also quite small for packing.
    I'm amazed when seeing people prepare meals with fresh ingredients, on a trangia burner, filet mignon in mushroom-pepper sauce and sautéed asparagus and all.
    Usually at the end of the day, I'm famished, almost counting the minutes of my just hydrated meal and I have to tell myself to actually let it hydrate properly.
    Still too much other stuff on my 'nice to have' hike gear list, to consider a titanium pot...

    My cook kit consist of the Stanley 700 ml pot, a 14oz gsi outdoor mug, BSR stove, and a tea strainer for my coffee, all of which plus fuel fits inside the stanley. It may weigh twice as much as other kits all together but its all tough and cost me about $50 all together.

  • @Pclab101
    @Pclab101 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Try the lid from the Stanley cook kit! Yes, the lid is stainless, but it fits well and the weight difference is minimal. The strainer in the lid is far better than others. Granted, I do replace the plastic lid tab in the middle of the lid with a tiny keyring.

    Others have mentioned the GSI Minimalist (which often goes on sale for ~$29 vs normal price of $35). I use this cook system and found that it is the best for those who just want to boil water for themselves.
    It is so versatile and lightweight. Ive used mine for 5 years now and haven’t found a better cook for system.
    It comes with a silicon grip handle which works great. Ive never burned myself using it. It also has a coozie which is great for handling the pot and keeping hot drinks hot when its cold. The lid it comes with can be used to sip or as a lid for boiling water by simply turning the lid upside down so it fits loosely.
    I highly recommend this cookset! Its the only piece of gear that i have not upgraded or replaced because it has lasted so long and imho, i havent seen a better replacement.

    Everyone knows the old adage about ounces, pounds and pain but at point there’s diminishing returns. Sometimes just having better food, gear or whatever just makes the experience better. I remember listening to a podcast discussing backpacking elk hunts and one of the guys was incredibly weight conscious to the point that all of his meals were drinkable in a protein shake mixer. Didn’t take a stove of any kind, he viewed it all as calories intake.
    By the end of the 6 day hunt his partner who was telling the story says that he noticed the weight conscious guy was watching his every bite. Instead he had packed mountain house, instant potatoes, and even ramen noodles. Yeah, he had to carry all the extra weight but he felt better, slept better and had better emotional energy.

    I liked the video. I’m a sucker for more efficient cooking stuff.
    BTW, The reason the Toaks weighs almost as much as the Soto is due to the aluminum handles and bracket on the Toaks.
    The Soto titanium pot will need either handles or the coozy with some sort of claw handle because the titanium will convey heat better than aluminum. I’d bet the Soto pot with coozy and handle is going to be heavier than the Toaks pot.
    I think if Soto sold just the top more folks would buy that item. I know I would. But I’m not paying $38 for a plastic top. That’s something only rich Dudes like Dan can afford.

    • @PattiemanNL

    That's a lot of stuff to buy just to basically recreate the GSI Minimalist which you can pick up for 35 bucks. It also includes a much better pot grabber that I actually prefer over handles.
    The one advantage this setup has is packability. With the GSI set, the lid won't quite go on snug when I put my pocket rocket deluxe in. Other stoves fit fine, the PRD is just a big stove.

  • @pedroclaro7822
    @pedroclaro7822 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Hey Dan! Sorry to bum you out, but Soto came out with the titanium pots recently, and they’re THE lightest on the market. They also come with lids and a pot grabber. I know you were excited about your cookset, but you’re gonna have to replace it with this 😂

    I don't care about weight, I vanlife so I'm in the camp with the vanlifers, overlanders, car campers, and teardrop community who loves the Stanley Two-Cup cookset nesting with an Ozark Trails stainless steel cup with the butterfly handles. For your money, that is the best buy system because you get the full cookset plus a mug, a straining lid that fits both and locks on the cook kit for about $20. It's the perfect thing for a cup of coffee or tea on the go if weight isn't a deal breaker.

  • @runhellman

    I found a silicone sipper lid that fits my Toaks 550. LOVE IT! It stays firmly on so I can use it as a lid when I store my canister in the pot. Unfortunately the company I bought it from (Riveted Oaks designs) doesn’t make anymore.

    so, TIL, locktite the screw holding the igniter on my new Amicus...

    I was experimenting with the toak mug and I actually really love the soto setup. I would probably bring both as I do love a mug but that handle always heats up pretty good when I'm pulling it off the stove (though titanium can lose heat like nothing else, really incredible stuff). I think Soto actually just started to sell their lid separately but I got their full kit and I love it. The pot grabber is really nice and it comes with an insulated sleeve which I love so that I can boil my water and then insulate it and add my food to that the titanium doesn't lose all that heat as fast. Because the toaks lid really does suck unfortunately.

  • @eric55406

    I have a 650ml Toaks for ultralight trips, and an OLICAMP Hard Anodized XTS Pot, 1-Litre pot with the heat transfer fins for trips when I want to prioritize faster boil times and fuel efficiency. Pick your favorite stove. Any long handle spoon will do.

  • @knutolsen5163
    @knutolsen5163 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Different trips require different cook kits. Long marches with a light pack and for just boiling water, I go for the MSR Pocket rocket or the MSR Reactor. For fishing trips or basecamp I go for a bigger burning head like the MSR Windpro. If it's cold you have to use a multifuel like the MSR Whisperlite. I myself have more than 20 different burners. It's crazy but can't think of selling a single one of them.

    Bring your stove to a hardware store with open bins of screws. Randomly try various small metric stainless steel machine screws, till you find the correct thread pitch and diameter (it will screw in the old threaded hole, nicely).
    If it is too long, careful work with pliers, a grindstone and a tin of cooling water will fix that excess length.

    Same here Dan, I just cook water. My cookware line up:
    Toaks 750mm titanium pot. I have to rubber band the lid anyway, the pot gets packed so tight with stuff, even a tight fitting lid would pop off.
    Toaks long handle, smooth bowl, titanium spoon -- sans carabiner.
    Pocket Rocket 2 -- w/o Piezo Igniter. I carry a Bic lighter anyway. Then I clip on a small aluminum windbreak.
    Finally, I wrap my camp rag around the inside of the pot to keep things from rattling around in there. There's not much more annoying than having something clanking inside the pack.

    I have all the stuff he mentioned but I settled on the MSR Windburner I bought for $130 on sale because I only do day hikes where weight is not an issue. I used it last spring in Northern California in a steady 30 mph wind with no issues.Try that with any sit on top canister stove.

    Nice video showing how to problem-solve a serious cook kit dilemma ;) I also carry a 750 Ti pot (by Boundless Voyage), Soto Windmaster & 110 g fuel canister. For longer trips, I'll carry the 220 g canister loose in my pack. Main effort is to boil water & rehydrate meals.

    I nest a toaks 550 inside a MSR Titan(850ml) which nests inside MSR Big Titan(2L) and a small fuel canister, lighter, wash cloth, neck buff(doubles as dish towel), small bottle of soap, Snow peak Gigapower stove + windscreen which all weigh about 820grams. Unbeatable versatility at a bearable weight.

    Great video! Always enjoy your work and appreciate your POV. For just boiling water, I've been using the Jetboil Stash mostly. The fluxring makes it super efficient and it's very space efficient. I have too many stoves and pots in my collection so it's been surprising that the stash has gotten the most use this past year

    After months of YouTubing i finally made my monster system. evernew .9 deep pot with frying pan lid. Then a big Daddios aluminum baking tin with removed lid .then nested in that is a snowpeak 700 inside the 700 are side parts for my snowleapord senior sytem(for evernew pot) then on top half off 700 i was able to fit a evernew 400 cup/container no handles but silicone thing that goes around cup. I should be able to make 5 course meals with ease lol. It also fits all parts for snowpeak ,sponge, esbit and alcohol stove. But can easily be switched to canister if needed. Snow leapord screen and lids for both 400 and 700 included. Also fit inside

  • @christophersiano969
    @christophersiano969 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    My setup is very similar. I use the BOT 1 liter titanium with the screw-on lid. I wrap the canister in a small bandana to reduce the rattle and prevent rust stains on the pot. (the rim of the canister always seems to rust a little.) Stove is some Ti Pocket Rocket knockoff that has worked fine for several years now. The extra height of the pot fits my flexible spork (no idea on the brand - something I grabbed at Hilton Tent City years ago and it's still in one piece) I also keep some heavy aluminum foil for a wind block and a mini Bic lighter. Why? Always felt the igniter on the stove would fail - never has. But I've used the Bic many times to get a fire started in challenging conditions. Yea, it's a bit more weight, but it's pretty much bomb proof. The bandana allows me to screw the lid on or off on those really windy days were you fear (and sometimes predict) the pot is going to blow off the stove.
    I'm still looking for a spoon that is long enough to reach into the bottom corners of a mountainhouse pouch without your hand getting icky, but somehow collapse to fit into my pot. It's the one missing link.

    • @memathews
      @memathews 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The value of a long spoon is keeping our icky hands out of the glorious food we shovel into our mouths. Remember The Oregon Trail constant: you died of dysentery (short sporks).

  • @mattfurtsch7535

    The titanium and aluminum pots weigh the same because of the handles on the Toaks. They also make a 750ml version without the handles that is lighter

  • @kmm-2024
    @kmm-2024 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Regarding both pots having only a 1 gram weight difference, I have one word for you: HANDLES.
    The Soto pot does NOT have handles or handle hinges, but, on the other hand (no pun intended), it is a larger capacity 750ml pot no-handled pot, as opposed to the 550ml TOAKS handled pot. Still, Al vs. Ti. Go figure! Cheers. P.S. Does discussion about pots make us potheads? LOL. Cheers.

    Hard anodized aluminum pots are frequently overlooked, which is a shame. They’re, as Dan just showed, right about the same weight, frequently cost less, and distribute heat better. That means if you cook in them, they’re less likely to burn your food. Part of that is your stove, but there’s a reason companies have been making hard anodized aluminum pots for decades and getting top dollar for them.

      I’m a retired aerospace engineer. When I first saw the thermal conductivity of titanium I thought it was a typo, it’s so incredibly low. I found out that it’s such a poor conductor that it’s sometimes used as an insulator to cut down on heat flow between two parts
