    Good explanation and use of the stoves. The best for myself is the Folding Firebox Nano Gen 2 in titanium. Along with the X stand for it to sit on and even as a case for it. All of it fits inside a stuff sack to keep everything clean. I like the fact it's a nice size for a solo hiker , will take triple fuel ( Alcohol burner , Wood or fuel tabs ). Best of all it will take long sticks as well as short ones. The beauty of it is the assortment of different stoves on the market for campers to choose from.

Version...but if you just order the stove you won't get screwed on customs tax..cos it comes in under £135. Order any extras from within the UK. 👍

Do you use the LF more because it is a “just in case” type thing? i.e. in case you can’t have a fire or just because you need a quick exit in the morning and don’t wish to leave a fire pit to extinguish. That’s my thinking anyway, so for what “we” mainly do, I can see why sir. Cheers pal 😉👍🏼 Tim

That condiments, herbs and flavourings pouch looks awesome. I would like to make one just like that. Could you please send me the link to buy that pouch as well as the containers for storing the herbs and condiments? Also, if its not too much trouble, could you also make a video showing the things that you have inside the pouch? I noticed some paprika and assume you have the basic salt and pepper in it. But if you could do a video to share your preferred choice of seasonings, that would be great. Thanks

    This is an expensive option.The slot together wood burner you showed is fiddly for sure, but not by much. Those stoves lend themselves to the stainless steel versions rather than titanium for sturdiness. I like to cook using a Trangia fuel burner and find the Lixada type stoves (as in your review, but many other brands available) are better. The burner fits in the stove, is well insulated and still allows the cross bars for resting pots large and small unto. It comes down to price. Around £20 for the slot together stoves to Bushbox prices three times at least more expensive. I remain to be convinced, while admiring the design.

    Don't generally value adverts, HOWEVER, I actually enjoyed listening/watching your review. I must be really nuts, praising a review, but ACTUALLY. Might actually go buy one. Regards! Oh by the way, I'm from New Jersey USA, and I really hate, and find it very difficult to understand and put up with your damn accent, But you can't do anything about that, but you got a pass. THNX.
