Camping & Backpacking : How to Choose a Backpacking Stove

[sheleg3s3]

Lmao, i got here only because i thought the name was "camping and backstabbing" and it looked like team fortress

[mtlyb]

Pretty basic intro without much detail. But I still liked a lot about it. I could tell the one stove was upside down. But wouldn't use it because of size. What of alcohol or wood stoves?

@carbondalekid83 I made no effort to collect anyone. I'm not for carrying much, but an esbit stove is my back up though if I can't get a small cooking fire going. I'll never use alcohol or propane.

@carbondalekid83 Did you think using caps would make anyone pay you more attention? Seems far more are in agreement with me.

From watching this video, the stoves are ok for simple non long hikes. If anyone has hiked the AT, you will be throwing those stoves away or shipping them back. Mainly everyone uses penny stoves because they're ultralight, fuel is heat which is easy to buy and carry. Yes, I use a camp fire to cook but some trails/parks don't allow open fires...

Just get a trangia man.

What stove? All you need is a pack of matches and something to burn. Your nabours house for instance.

[yo6ial]

@Quex01 neighbors included! :D

[PCRedman]

wasn't that sigg a water bottle?

[vampire847]

i want a wood burning stove...but i have yet to find any...

I find it strange the way put the Primus Systems Stove (PSS) upside down on the ground, and did not even attempt to upright it in your introduction, when you picked it up and placed it on your thigh. The video suffers from the lack of action shots. Action shots would have greatly enhanced your presentation, especially the PSS, which is an outstanding setup, such as Trangia 25 or 27.

Tranigia have maked a Gasburner insert and a Multifuel stove insert so u only need one cooking system with two Fuel sorces Trangia.se

[MsToasterlady]

The Argau Camping Toasters would be a great accessory

To camp or to RV, that is the question! rvparkandcampingexpert (.) com helped me decide.

You got the propane/butane thing backward. Propane is excellent in cold and at altitude, while butane isn't. Full propane isn't used normally for backpacking because the it is over twice the pressure of butane and requires a heavier container.

[soulvengesurfer]

@blmeflmm66 butane boils or vaporizes at 32.9 degrees fahrenheit and propane at -43.6 degrees fahrenheit good on ya

[xexorz]

@blmeflmm66 I consider cold anything below 10F or so. Neither works well at that temp. White gas or gasoline work just fine though

[MrRocque]

@blmeflmm66 abolutely RIGHT. Butane boils @ -0.5C when the temps. get to 0C it won't vaporize (NEVER heat a canister). Propane boils @ -42.1C, so its pretty much going to always vaporize unless you're into extreme tempurature camping. The idea behind the propane/butane mix is the propane is the propellant that expells the butane in colder temps. (near freezing). Below freezing, Isobutane (boils @ -11.7C) tends to be the winter fuel of choice for such stoves or pressurized liquid fuel.

thanks! :) nice video.

i think that alcohol stoves is not secure, nice but not secure for camping. i have one that i buid.
