As the PaleoHikerMD channel has grown, my ideas about it have changed. In the end our channel is about a lifestyle. Being outdoors as much as we can whether it be hiking, backpacking, canoeing, etc...traveling as a family...finding geocaches along the way...all along home schooling our kids in an effort to make life and history come alive instead of just being on the pages of a textbook. Want gear reviews?...well we do those too! Self-Reliance is also big in our family, and on our channel you will find plenty of content detailing survival, bushcraft, and preparedness. Lastly, but certainly not least, we will bring you along on our continued journey into the Paleo Lifestyle. Your health is not what you inherit, it is what you make of it with effort and real change!
Real Food...Real Health...Real Family...Real Adventure!

Solid fuel sucks
I’m using environmentally friendly Swedish Aspen-4 Alkylate petroleum (for 4 stroke engines).
So honest video, love it!!
I just found 6 nos Generators in my shed, in the box, what are they worth
What is the P in 4P stand for?
If you did that with one of my knives you would end up going to the ER. Razor sharp means you can take your knife and hold it with two finger towards the back of the handle and lightly slide forward with one motion and it will remove all hair. The pressure you had to use and the multiple strokes you had to make to remove the hair on your arm is not considered razor sharp. The problem with edges being razor sharp is they don't last long. Loved your video but that specific knife you sharpened on this video is not razor sharp to my standards.
this would be good for those who need to keep certain prescription meds cold during a power outage, would be nice if it had an internalbatteery which wouldlet it run
Will this work to light a Soto st320 safely, or would it be too awkward of an angle?
Nice review Ernie. That music at 6:30 had me thinking of '70s movies love scenes haha. That's a cool product. And I see now that there's someone else making one that runs off of propane. Nice options. You could throw that nature hike in a backpack if you wanted to. Do a day hike or take it out on a motorcycle, not sure about that grill though. Cooking pancakes and eggs seems sketchy. Seems like a lot of manufacturers do that. They should just be flat imo
Could you test the Coleman Powerpack so I can know how much better all these other stoves that you review are against mine?
Huh? $200? It's like $70 on Amazon. At what point would you say it's good for the price? You said $85 is too much
Thank you, Ernie! This looks great, can't wait to try it. What temp do you like for the oil, and how long do you cook each side? I wonder how these would be dipped into some sort of fruit salsa, like peach, pineapple, mango, or at least sprinkled with some Tajín.
Thinking of adding this to my hurricane supplies are there any dangers I should know about ? Carbon monoxide risk? Any risk of propane explosion? Etc… just want to be as safe as I can. Thank you also propane storage when not in use
Gday, I am no mountain climber so not worried about burn time at altitude or anything. After watching a few reviews it seems most penny style stoves are about the same really for the average camper, so i would put it down to how much you want to pay. That said high cost does tend to get you a better product. I was going to make one out of coke cans but i also needed a camp cook set. So when i saw a set of nesting pots and frypan that came with a stand and wind shield, all sturdy aluminium for 60 Aust i just got that. It burns ok, But i dont think the stove has much cotton or absorbant in the walls st least it seems to me that it should soak up more Could just be me. Burns for about 25 minutes.
Ernie! Firemaple Petrel! We need it from you!
I have this stove, but I never used the alcohol part, but the solid fuel with wind guard has worked for me. Use a wind guard ! In all honesty, I used it on 5 different 3 day Hikes in relatively good weather, but for a backup stove, it isn't bad, plus it was a Father's Day gift .
Earnie, thanks for expanding the scope of your channel! I would like it if you were to do a series on different backpacks, especially ultralight packs compared to heavier internal frame packs, at least in terms of comfort with the kind of loads you might carry on a multi-day trip. As a side, Coleman used to make a refrigerated cooler that used a Peltier junction cooler. I bought one in the late 90's for around $50 - $60. It was capable of keeping the temperature about 40 degrees below ambient, which saved a bundle on supplemental ice. It ran on either an A/C adapter or direct D/C from the car. I used it extensively when visiting Big Bend, where ice was fairly pricey, and when visiting Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. I don't know if they still make it, but given the price, it was hard to beat.
Nice!
😊
LOLOL........For the price of this stuff It better do more than just cook your food. This is the fuel for millionaires.
Nice unit but the price is hard to justify.
Ernie please keep making videos. Technical expertise with integrity.
JMHO but this looks like a pain in the neck to clean. I don't understand why they didn't go with just a traditional v60 to where all you really need to do is take the filter out and throw in the trash versus making it two parts. That just looks like extra work to me.
I'll stick with my 2 f40c4tmp fridges. Theyre cheap, but use the same compressors as the big names and their customer service is far better than any othwr company I talked to
Hey Ernie, great vid! First of all, thanks for being honest at the beginning of the video and the last. I was wondering about this specific brand for a few months now. Pretty cool looking! I have a Bodega 38 Quart cooler and have been running it for almost 5 months now, usually on weekend, and it's been amazing. I like this one you reviewed. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Doc for the review. My wife and I picked up something much smaller than this for around $300. We use it in our SUV while pulling the travel trailer. We have had it about three years and it continues to work great even though it is a single chamber you can use it as a frig or freezer. Expensive yes, and heavy, but really works great and no ice to buy.
I’ve been looking at these dual zone coolers, but looking to invest in a portable power station first to power it off grid.
Thanks as always. You do the best video's
Within 3 minutes i knew he hadnt spent more than a few days "off grid' I went off grid in 1997... full time, several miles from the power lines. For the first few years i hauled ice. I saved and experimented a lot and eventuality bought a sunfrost fridge. Running on DC is far more efficient than converting to ac just to convert back to dc again. I own a 55 quart Mini fridge like this for camping. 2 77 watt panels keep it and everything else besides air conditioning of course. I use 1250 watts of pv and 450 watts wind power to power the house plus 110 watts of pv on the well. 13000 gallons of rain water storage supplies 99 percent of my water use
We went camping 2 weeks ago and a friend of mine had bought (another brand) of portable refrigerator/freezer and I tied it into my 100watt solar panel, 54 ah Dakota LiPo battery with 450 watt pure syne inverter. 5 days later it was like we were at home. It worked perfect. My point was, he did not know the power consumption and we were remote with no cell for us to look it up. You should be able to run it all night off a 600 watt portable power supply with ease. These things are great. Thank you for another informative video.
Nice comprehensive review.
Looks nice! At the moment I am still enjoying the versatility of my absorption cooler. 230V, 12V or propane/butane with the same device is hard to beat. But that Iceco cooler is a lot more capable cooling wise.
I have an Iceco and love it! Especially the price!!!
This is my favorite MRE, it’s super yummy and has a lot of flavor.
Fiskars SW75 is a good light retractable pruning saw. As good as Silky, if not better. Lighter, me thinks...
I love my MSR but the cup can get stuck on and be soooo hard to remove. Ended up having to fully break it off with a pocket knife while backpacking once all other methods had failed
I’d say that you wouldn’t necessarily need it on high so flames wouldn’t so big
constant loud sniffing into the microphone completely ruins the video, unrecommend channel
These stoves pay for themselves eventually, because you don't have to keep buying expensive gas cartridges for other stoves. Running on petrol is very economical. I've just bought an older version, as new ones are nearly £100 in the Uk.
Where is it made?
Girlfriend: let’s NetFlix and chill. Me: let’s watch water boil.
Any way to retrofit a wick inside the knockoff?
The evernew has a built in simmer function. The reason for the second set of holes lower down. Just place a pot straight on top with no pot stand. And only the bottom jets light
Watching this at a year after, and I agree. I have the large cup, bowl, and platter. I’ve used the bowl and cup for both hot and cold meals, no issues at all. The cup holds a decent amount of heat in, much better than a metal cup. I have had wooden kuksa crack after some time when having very hot liquids in them. This one is still in perfect shape after many seasons.
The bottom could be a shallow stainless square pan the perfectly nests the Teflon. I like the Teflon, but I was skeptical about the base.
What a cool flashlight! Love your review videos and so happy that you plan to keep them comin!
THE ULTIMATE FIRE KIT WOULD BE ONE THAT YOU COULD CARRY IN YOUR POKCET ON AN INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT...
We understand that it takes time to make honest review videos as opposed to regurgitating factory information to make a sale. Beautiful Bride brought three (3) great young'uns to our marriage and we are blessed with active four (4) year old. Much of the high end gear is super expensive where I took an early retirement in the Philippines due to import taxes and shipping costs. It is important for us to spend wisely as we equip our young troops. Thank you Ernie fior all that you do and generously share with your subscribers.
This is the problem with reviews that are just for the sake of a video review. Better to watch reviews from creators that actually use the item. They will figure out that the top arms can fold inwards to hold smaller cups, or that you can utilise the included grill for this too. They will also research enough to know to fully load the stove to get a decent burn time because if they don't, then no dinner or cuppa!!! 😅
How the heck do you get the fuel line packed inside?
