    I absolutely love your channel. My wife and I recently started backpacking and using advice from you and other youtubers we've been able to build out our packs nicely and on a budget and keep our base weight under 20lbs each.

    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.

    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.

    • @bcamping1
      @bcamping1 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Same, no desire to replace it. I have others, but when on long distance hiking, it always comes with me.

  • @coreyvirgil2025
    @coreyvirgil2025 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    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.

  • @runhellman
    @runhellman 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    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.

    • @SJSCHOCH
      @SJSCHOCH 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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 🐻😂💕🏕️

    Been running a similar setup for years, snow peak 1l titanium pot pr2 stove, snow peaks also came with a 500ml drinking cup that the 1l fit into.
    Changed last year to a msr windburner, its a bit heavier but so much better on bc’s west coast.

  • @MattVHulst

    Ive just recently got into backpacking but have been aware of it my entire life because of my dad going when i was young. Hes no longer here to talk about it with but ive always been intrigued by it. Ive watched many of your videos and even bought the flextail zero pump from watching your video. Waited months for it but finally got it recently. I got the Stanley 2 cup kit too because of your video on it. The main thing is that i appreciate you continuing to search for the latest most up to date best equipment out there and i hope you keep it up! I really enjoy your videos and appreciate the time you you put into this 👍

    I had this sort of serendipity with my OG GSI Halulite Minimalist lid and a 750ml titanium pot I just got :D it weighs an ounce more than your lid there, but it's a backpacking sippy cup lol and again lol, I weighed my Halulite pot against titanium and went "welp"
    so, TIL, locktite the screw holding the igniter on my new Amicus...
    I feel like I saw that spoon in the camping section at Walmart tonight while grabbing a new backpack (it has a duffle-style zipper/opening vs top load, I ADORE this setup).
    Thanks for sharing, I love cobbling together gear sets

  • @gnohn9366

  • @David-e1b3t
    @David-e1b3t 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    On that missing screw...
    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.

  • @MrFowl

  • @echobenav8

    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

    Dan, you should try the Fire-Maple 600ml G3 Petrel Ultralight Pot, it has the straining plastic lid, a heat exchanger, is made in a way that you don't need a wind screen (you do have to have a 3 arm stove, like the Pocket Rocket) and saves fuel because of the heat exchanger.

  • @DavidHuycke
    @DavidHuycke 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I see the convenience of the plastic Soto lid fitting snugly on a Toaks pot -- at least for stowing in your pack. But what about for cooking: trying to remove a tightly fitting lid on a pot of boiling water? Does't seem to me to be as safe as having a loose-fitting lid.

  • @MrDanAng1
    @MrDanAng1 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great conclusion at the end... aluminum and titanium pots of the same size weigh rougly the same.
    To make an aluminum pot and a titanium pot roughly equally strong, it takes about double the wall thickness for the aluminum pot.
    But... titanium is about twice as dense, so it average out to the same!
    Stainless steel is roughly as dense as titanium and the wall of a stainless steel pot need to be nearly as thick as the aluminum pot for the same strenght, so it will be significantly heavier, often nearly twice as heavy for the same size.

    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.

    Thanks for the video Dan. I too was looking for a snug lid for my Toaks 750 and lo and behold my Jetboil lid fit perfectly...then I boiled some water with it snapped on and it melted.

So my question is, can you boil water in your Toaks pot with the Soto lid snapped on without it melting?

    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.

    Thanks for at least kinda addressing the ozark trail spoon. That $1 ship sailed a long time ago. I’ve tried to find them and they aren’t available.
    It would be nice to find a runner up for those of us just starting out that would love to have a cheap but decent spoon.

      Backpackers Pantry sells a 9.9" long plastic spoon made by GSI. The spoon bowl is silicone covered - so easy to clean. About $5 . True as of May 2024

    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.

    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...

    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!

    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.

    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 😂

    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

    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.
