Soto Amicus or Windmaster stove....tbh
Can anyone recommend a how to video or videos to make a pot cozy?
DUDE! I’m not even hiking and I’m getting psyched for 2/23! It’s SO CLOSE!
Good video. Nice kid. When it comes to backpacking gear, it’s all about advantages and disadvantages and convenience. Are use the sorrier squeeze water filter with the add-ons I made for it and for cooking are use The esbit solid fuel system. I made a windscreen enclosure with a tin can for Aide that works wonders for me. Everything I use is to my convenience as a blind person. Do you ever use the canister stoves at all? Thank you so much for sharing your video. God bless you.
Very good video. Excellent presentation. I use two and two bottle Blatter’s because they are 16 ounces each and ultralight. I hang them to my backpack and are easy to detach and many others advantages. Are you agree with you about the saw your Mimi. I went back to the regular size saw your squeeze filter. I use the S bit solid fuel tablets because of many advantages. Specially because I am blind and cannot afford spills with Lakewood feels. If I was to go back to canister stove’s, I would prefer the bipod I think, from Snow pig. I am not sure the manufacturer at this point. It is an awesome stove because of its stability and four points of support for the pot. Check it out. I think you would like it. It is not the latest various out there but it is very practical, convenient and has too many advantages to it. Good job. God bless you.
I can see why you dont want to mess with camp shoes but if you are standing on that sit pad in the shower I hope you are bringing something to sanitize it. That sitpad is going to catch all that dirty water that you are showering off and the bottom will pickup that nastiness you are trying to avoid. A pair of flipflops from walmart or a dollar store could easily just be clipped to the outside of a pack.
Maybe I missed something; why split the Aqua Mira solution? If treating 2 litres just double the dosage and times........ 🙄 Thanks brother, great videos.
2x 1liter bottles. Just makes it easier.
Where do these cozies come from?
You make them out of reflectix. blackwoodspress.com/blog/6582/ultralight-backpacking-pot-cozy/
i sleep with my filter and fuel. i just back-flush, fling out excess water... and drop it into a ziploc. quick edit: if i lost it one time, i'll just get a cheaper one to replace it... or find a way to keep from losing it (talking about your Ti spoon)
I tie a small loop of bright yellow line to my spoon to make it easier to find and tell which one is mine at a shelter.
I have the same BRS 3000 but somehow someway yours is larger in size including the wings
I too also usecanister stoves same size as you have their the 8oz but I also found one that I can nest in my Stanley cup which is a 4.4 oz
CG are you smoking that wacky tabaccy?
The Micro is the same as the s.s regular but just better flow and less weight, definitely worth the buy for a thru-hike, I own both and switched over to the micro for edc.
I read an early review from someone that brought both on the AZT. He would switch filters at balanced times, after the thru (800 miles) the micro was significantly slower than the squeeze. I'm, still waiting for long term reviews to come out but I'm kinda getting tired of waiting for a real review so I may switch and do it myself. We'll see!
Excellent idea with lens container! But, are you sure that’s safe to pre-mix Aquamira drops? I have some doubts, as Aquamira could do it themselves if it would create the same effective water treatment mixture. Probably liquids A and B react between them and that chemical is not good or not stable and dissipate.
Premixing will be safe up to 24 hours. I don't plan on going longer than 6 hours.
7:40 Your fuel canister. Your list sais "canister empty"
I like the small cannisters since they can nest inside my cook pot.
Couple little tricks i used on the AT a couple years back th-cam.com/video/a8p6pkUYxHo/w-d-xo.html . Really liked the cut down sawer water bag for speeding up getting water and as a scoop. I think I only used a scoop maybe 4 times on the whole trail for water but used it to speed up water... a lot. I can see you getting rid of the aquamira pretty quick but as your starting early i can understand you taking it. It can be good to lose weight as you go so don't sweat it, take it and lose it when u decide u don't want it anymore. Once it warms up etc. Likewise for the 2x gas canisters. I only used gas for dinner typically so it would last 10+ days or something? if your cooking a lot especially early on when cold you may well go through more. The only time i saw people carry 2 on the trail was if they grabbed a couple out of a hiker box. But again your leaving early. cold... It's a pretty short hike to the first resupply too. The other tip for cold is, have gloves! it's miserable hiking when it's freezing when your hands hurt and if it's real cold hand warmers are awesome to put in your socks for sleeping. I would only recommend this typically if one is expecting a colder period and can plan for it. Don't just carry them for the sake of it. Good luck out there.
Thanks!
Since you have shown the BRS stove and I'm sure you have watched Dixie's stove efficiency video, have you weighed a fuel canister before&after a boil to see how much gas your setup typically uses? Also, I've had canisters slowly leak without a sound after first use and found them emptied. For me, a 110 g of fuel will last about 13 boils of 2+ cups of water or 6.5 days.
This is good info. I've watched all.of Dixie's and Darwin's videos. Good to know about # of boils.
My MSR fuel canister have written on them that they weight 101 grams empty and I find them to be within a gram or two of that. You have shown 94 g, so I wonder if your scale is helping to make your base weight lighter by 7% or so. :)
Find an empty 110g cannister and put it on a food scale. You'll find that it will range from 95g-100g. It's weird but I'll take it! I have 2 scaled i've used over the past few years and both come out to within a gram of each other.
I like the contact case idea that's a great 2 dose idea. Have you looked at the human gear duo? It packs down a little smaller it has replaced my toaks utensil.
I know a couple people that use that. Plastic isn't my thing. I'm loving the polished bowl so far on the toaks though.
Just curious if you looked at the BeFree water filter? Seems to me to offer a little better flow rate than the Sawyer. Nice video and have a great hike!
I don't like the stories I've heard about the filter clogging easily. Way better flow rate, but I'm just not sold on cleaning the filter by swishing it around in some water.
I suggest buying the blue Sawyer cap to connect the dirty bag / Sawyer to the Smart Water Bottle. It makes squeezing so much easier on the trail, especially when the bottle slips from between your legs/feet. Also allows the possibility to gravity system when you want to do a second task when filtering. I didn’t take any other form of water purification and never needed it. Sawyer squeeze by far was utilized by most hikers. I ended up using both the Evernew and CNOK on the AT and I preferred the CNOK but you have a good plan to decide. The two canister system is a personal choice. I carried two because I would burn the can to fully empty; which was always in the middle of heating dinner or coffee and always in the middle of a 3-6 day section! I didn’t have to bother/borrow from someone else or go without for two days to town. Once I switched canisters, I would sometimes wait till second resupply stop to grab a new can, sometimes I didn’t. I never had an issue finding canisters on the AT. Many say that other than heet at gas stations, canisters are more common than denature alcohol on the trail now days. So exited for you. Don’t overthink it all, just enjoy!
Does that allow air through so the bottles don't collapse? If so I'll drop the evernew bag.
Outdoor Adventures I don’t believe it does. Much better than the tornado tube I used, but occasionally the smart water bottle would have to be “burped”. It had nothing to really do with the dirty water bag. With adjustment, you could get the blue connected loose enough to flow without issue, but it took a little practice and then re adjustment. In the over all scheme of the thru hike, not a big issue and an easy learning curve.
I like the blue coupler as well. It weighs 5.2 g. One does have to loosen it if one wants air to escape. For instance, if you gravity feed a Smart plastic bottle with an airtight seal, the flow will slow to a stop when the back air pressure builds up, so you want the coupler loose by a half turn. Think of a soda bottle and letting the gas out when you first twist the cap off. I start with airtight and water tight seal so that no dirty water gets into clean water receptacle, then a slight twist after gravity starts doing its job to let air escape while receiving bottle fills.
So you eat food (oatmeal) out of the reflective pot cozy bowl? There is not a way to sanitize that. I would suffer the weight of a smooth surfaced bowl or cup.
No I put the packets of oat meal inside the cozy so they can stand up. I eat of the packets haha.
Thanks for clarifying. Just trying to prevent you from having projectile diarrhea on the trail :-)And thanks for all of the information you are posting out there, I really liked the collaboration you and Darwin did on hammocks.
Two quick things . After reading some glowing reviews on the CNOC bag I tried one for the first X this summer in Colorado . It failed the very first X I used it . Leaked from the cap and the bag itself . Hope it works better for you . Also , have you seen the adapters that SAWYER now makes to put on between your water bottle and filter ? You can then use your BOTTLE to backflush your filter and not carry that Big Assed syringe !!! Oh yeah , since we got back from Colorado I have seen some mixed reviews of the CNOC's . Seems like Tim W had problems with one also ?! ATB , jwtylyk about these things .G
I just use the cap from the smart water bottle. No need to buy more things.
@@FrozensAdventures How do u use a smart water bottle and a bottle cap to backflush a Sawyer ?
Take the cap to the nipple on the bottom of the filter, and squeeze the bottle.
@@FrozensAdventures Ah , you mean using the ones with the Sports flip cap ,,,,,,,,,,, smart . Seems like it might be messy , but way cool . Got it thanks ..G
Suggestion: Place a tablecloth or something over the bottle cap table. It’s confusing to see your stuff looking at bottle caps.
Will do in future videos.
Awesome video! I love your table!!!
whats your cats name?
Kira
I use the bowl from a disposable fruit cup like the ones you might take to school when you were a kid. It is a little bit shallower than the water bottle. I call him “Mr. Dippy”! Thanks for sharing. I like the way you systematically go through your gear.
The Micro is great. Just bought it and used it at Oil Creek 2 weeks ago. Same flow rate as the squeeze and lighter if you wanna shave a few ounces.
Thanks for your overview. Alcohol stove would be fine, easier to find yellow HEET than denatured alcohol. Toaks polished spoon is amazing. I like the contacts case idea for water treatment drops. Good video, can't wait for your adventure!
I agree . I had the non-polished first and food was always sticking , not W the polished one !
That's why I'm hesitant to get a ti cookpot. Surface seems like itd be harder to clean. My SS cup works well.
Perfect kit. Missing one thing tho...a small clean up cloth. Helps with rattling and rust rings too. Keep up the good work. Maybe I'll catch you on the trail. AT '19
I keep a spare bandana in my cook pot to keep the rest from rattling. I just use boiling water to soak cook in ziplocks so I don't have to wash dishes on the trail. 🐻🌲
Why are you carrying all those beer bottle tops?
They are all lucky. Only weighs an extra 50 pounds.
Love your vids. Will be following your journey. You got this!!!
Great video Frozen. I like that little BRS stove. The price for the weight is hard to beat. Still can't get me to put down the Fancee Feast though, but it makes sense for you to use this one for a thru hike. Cheers
Great idea with the contact case. Have you considered freezer bag cooking. I hate washing pots on the trail. Take Care
Kitty!!!
Best of luck on your AT thru hike Frozen, big fan from Canada
Frzn: Got a great tip from Bugzy - carry a spare SmartWater bottle CAP! Weighs little and bottle not effective if you lose cap.😎. Best of luck to you!
Have it in the emergency kit. Got the tip from ER
Smart Water cap from the sport-sized bottle also works better on the Sawyer Squeeze than the cap which comes with the filter.
I absolutely agree about the Sawyer mini V Sawyer squeeze. The squeeze is so amazing to have after struggling with how slow the mini is.
The days are counting down fast! If possible maybe you could do a sit down Q&A video with Gary about how he got prepared for the AT. Especially the last month or two before his hike. Just an idea if you have the time and if Gary would do it. Good Luck Jason! 👍
The vector is legit, it is stretchy but it really let's you maximize the flow rate of the system you're using as well as mitigate squeeze fatigue on you hands while filtering especially large volumes or water. I'm not a fan of the ever new and it let's you ditch the cut water bottle. Happy trails on the AT!
For 2 liter treatment of Aquamira, I use the mixing cap and add 14 drops of each component.
Excellent, well-thought-out information as always. I've used the BRS stove down to the high 20s and it hasn't failed yet. Looking forward to many aspects of your hike. Thanks, Frozen!
I've used canister fuel to the low 20s. Also one can test this themselves: Put a fuel canister in your freezer overnight at home. Use it for breakfast. Your freezer should be at about 0 deg F. No problems.
Super review. Thanks Frozen
The one suggestion i would have is make a cozi for your fuel canister to help it keep flowing on those cold mornings and nights, might even help with the clanging
I have always gone stoveless, but have decided to begin taking my stove. I have the GSI Pinnacle Soloist cook set, but after looking at your set-up I may try to use my smaller MSR Titanium mug.
Looks like your set. Happy Trails
Excited to see your adventure....thanks for bringing us viewers along.
Thanks for coming with me!
I am so excited. Looking forward to "hiking" along with you. Thanks for doing these videos. Due to age I cannot hike like I use to.☺
wish i was closer for that trail magic
Getting down to crunch time. We're wishing you a safe and enlightening journey. My wife uses a small ziplock Craisins bag for her water scoop, available in most towns.
kitty video bomb ftw
I would ditch that cozy and get big sky insulated bag from Amazon. I made myself a cozy like that and lasted about 1/3rd of the trail. I have tested that bag 100+ miles and it's amazing. As well Yellow bottle heet is very accessible if you do want to take your fancy feast stove. Over all good water and cooking kit
That cozy has about 500 miles on it. Gonna make 2 before I leave.
I haven’t had any issues with the BRS but I saw a video saying that it didn’t perform well in the wind. I’d imagine you didn’t have any issues either or you would have a windscreen in your kit. I also never noticed that you went with the 700ml pot. Is that so you can have your oatmeal and a 16oz café grande in the morning?
Pretty much yea. You shouldn't really use a wind screen with cannister. Apparently the cannister can explode. I'll use my food bag to shield the wind if needed though
If you ever decide to do the CDT, I got your back in Silver City!
Heh, thanks. Let me get on trail down first =P
That weight doesn't include fuel, right?
I'm weighing the empty cannister. So no fuel.
When you know that your night and next morning are going to be very cold, do you filter water the night before and insulate the bottles for the night? I usually do because I am afraid that my Sawyer will flash freeze if I try to filter in the morning.
I like to get all the camp chores done in the morning. But also depends.
are you going to do one on your video gear and how you plan to shoot and edit??
JogBird b
Electronics video yes.
Great vid as usual.
Have you ever thought of also taking an adaptor for decanting gas from a larger canister used for camp stoves into your small canisters?
It works as a back up IF you can't get the small canisters.
It weighs nothing and available on ebay for under $3.
Just a thought .
Didn't even know that existed. I'll probably be fine with just 1 small cannister. To even vlog this thing I'm going to have to go into town every 3-4 days anyway.
I don't like the BRS. There are better quality stoves that are slightly more weight. Olicamp or Soto.
Looks like that should work good for you Jason.
Good video man.
Love the info!!!
You only need one canister at a time. I would not recommend bringing two
Any reason behind your advice?
Meh. I'll see how it goes. Definitely starting with 2 and as each cannisters runs dry buy another in town. That may change as I get more comfortable. I'm used to measuring out 3 oz a day of denatured alcohol for my fancee feast stove. But shit can happen with cannisters. I personally had one with a slow leak and ended up eating cold food for a day which I hated.
It’s weight. One canister will last you well over a week while boiling for all meals. You’ll basically walk by a store to resupply every 4 days or so. It will just get annoying to have half a pound of dead weight in the bottom of your pack for a week at a time. Carry two, shed the extra when you get into your routine.
Mark Cummings I’ll buy him a 6er
Haha I probably will be comfortable with 1 by then. I just wanna make it through the cold.
Good afternoon
I'll watch this video after work
2 thumbs up dude
