I got this same kit as a free gift from my job last year and it was my first jetboil. As a person who grew up camping and waiting for water to boil while you're freezing your butt off in the morning, it's a shockingly impactful quality of life improvement I didn't realize I was missing out on.

Great video! Just received my java kit jet boil from Ben last week and it’s awesome!

I originally got this set up for backpacking a few years back and love that it goes great on adv trips as well !!

I've had my JetBoil since about 2008 ish and love it ! The igniter on mine quit early on. Like you I always have multiple lighters, so not a big deal. Jetboil is a keeper. Tried and true. Great product ! Excellent video as well !

Thanks for the note on the loose bolt/screw. It kept me from getting one at that price. Should be made to last at their cost. Appreciate 👍

I remember one of your friends checked the fire out with his fingers, ouch. Great video Ben and might buy one of those Jet Boils because I do love coffee

Adjust the ignitor electrode gap and your ignitor will likely work again.

Yep. It can get bent down a little when you stick it all in the container. If it’s too close it won’t work

Impressive. Hard to let go of white gas tech. Your video might push me over the top!

Thanks Ben for that awesome content I’ve got to get myself one of those jet boils or should I say bespoke jet Boyles thanks for the contact take care

I tried instant coffee lately. I was shocked how much I liked it... The taste is not on par with real coffee, but it's really close. And it's just so simple and convenient.

I was shocked how far "real" coffee in tea bags have come. New life hack is you can get those motel/hotel coffee maker packets to do the same thing. Since I carry a 22 OZ Contigo everywhere, works perfect.

Superb video. @11:25 Travis finding out that indeed fire burns. 😂 Hope he is doing well since his leg injury and looking forward to the both of you tearing up the trails together again.

@@DorkintheRoad Damn bridges, I almost bit it on the Bridge of the Gods because wet metal is slick.

I went with the Windburner and have been very happy with it. Just got the coffee press widget for it. Haven't used it quite yet.

Protip from backpacking friends: the ignitor will bend easily when you stack everything inside it. You can cut out a piece of tp roll cardboard to protect it. That may be your problem lighting. I've never had any issues. I bring it along on hotel trips to make tea. It's so quick.

That's funny, sounds like my old Svea 123, probably older than you 😮. Little thing was/is a little beast. Still have it. Better half has the Optimus version. Squirt a little fuel in the depression by the burner, light that , builds a little pressure in the stove, light stove and viola, HEAT! Definitely more exciting.😊

If you don’t have enough paper towels to dry the cup. Just throw your pot back onto the burner and run it for like 30 seconds and dry it off like a cast iron pan. Avoid the rust

i havent ever used one. Miranda in the wild just did a video of one of these vs a pocket rocket style. she is a backpacker, so the weight made a difference for her depending on how long they were going for. they seem pretty nice to me.

I've had mine since2007-08. It has become an indispensable part of my camping gear. I just came back from a 2 week camping trip in AZ. It was my only cooking source. Mine is the original. So no bells or whistles. Gotta have matches and no heat gauge. Gotta watch it like a hawk. When you're using a jet boil, that is all you're doing. I dare you to try do anything else without having a boil-over. 😅

I suggest you put the pot on the burner BEFORE opening the gas valve and using the lighter. that will help the spark hit the gas faster. Also, I cover my pot when boiling water. That also makes water boil faster.

I have had a Flash for about 7yrs now and it's going great. My igniter is the same too. Only seems to work every now and then.

Bend the igniter tab a little farther away

I used one of them when I did my thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail.

I need one of those 😮

I got the pot thingy that you talk about and had the same issue with hot spots. I am going to try a mini cast iron this summer and see if that helps.

I have the same jetboil setup and a hand grinder that is a never leave home piece of kit.

you said the "C" word! Hope it makes it thru the censors! Keep up the great vids! Thanks for the info!

Dork i luv coffee and i luv my jetboil

And after that coffee, when nature calls, you can use the optional bucket and tire as a makeshift toilet that mother earth kindly left behind for you. 😂 Kidding aside, great video Ben. 😊

The auto igniters on larger/ two burner propane stoves usually work fine, but on single burner backpacking stoves they just suck. Allegedly, in my own super professional especially anecdotal opinion. As a coffee lover, I may have to check this thing out!

The ignitor issue is a well known one on this and some the small MSR stoves. Not just you.

I bought the MiniMo. Hope it works just as well.

I hate coffee and yet I'm watching this video.

I like mine. I like some coffee with my creamer in the morning. What is your way of carrying creamer?

Im still mulling over buying one. Even after borrowing my buddies for a trip. Tbh just need to pony up, they're a pretty nice product

@@DorkintheRoad thanks for the heads up!

Dork concerned about a little wobble. …. It’s a brave new world 😂

How many boils do you get out of one file canister?

I've been looking into the jerboil.. they have them at my local mom and pop sporting goods store and did notice there are 3 different sizes.. second are you loosing weight Ben?

What is the water pouch you're using?

I bought a Firemaple, which I assume is a knock off of the jetboil, probably some IP theft, but the price was right and so far has not failed me.

You had me at coffee!!😂

We swear by these during fire season.

I went for a stove where i could control the heat...not sure what i was thinking but in reality I just boil and burn the shit out of everything... mostly water 😂

So, if this is your second favourite part of camping, what's your first?

To funny, ordered one this morning from Ben.

That’s great but to be honest when I go moto camping saving vital minutes boiling my water isn’t the highest priority.

I agree it's more of a convenience thing but it's so convenient and compact that I don't see any disadvantage to carrying it over other stove options.

Dark in the road. I think you keep forgetting that. Do not ship to Canada if you can. Mention that be great love the work

0:49 can’t boil water without water… You lost me right right there I’m not sure I’m good at this

So, no more Sanka or Folgers Crystals? LOL!

Ur losing weight.. still happy?. Always good to feel good

I've always wanted one but don't get to camp often enough to justify the cost Also, losing weight? Good on ya.

Save fuel. Coffee brews better at about 90C. So super hot but not boiling...probably half "orange" on the jetboil meter. Maybe 3/4 orange. You're welcome. Ha!

When the neoprene gets “funky” just toss it in the washing machine.

Hey, you didn't point :(

It's just not the same as campfire coffee or tea.

I have the jetboil like you show. It’s great to boil water, but the coffee press is not that impressive. I purchased a Stanley coffee french press for moto camping and never looked back. If I would have done it differently. I’d buy their pot version. Which is my go to.
