  have you tried the Denali One Backpacking Cook Stove?

  @adventure_alan_co14 күн бұрын

  Not personally, but looks similar to all-in-one models from Jetboil and MSR. Generally good heat output and fuel economy, but not quite SuperStove/FrankenStove levels, and twice as heavy.

  I love my Jetboil Stash but it struggled heavily at -8°F on a trip. My go to for three seasons is the OmniLite Ti and white gas. My best four season and storm performing stove is a Trangia 25 with a Nova burner using an amish mix of kero and white gas (75/25). The Trangia works in 80mph sustained winds with up to 140mph gusts (tested during a hurricane). My absolute performer, ease of use with a glove, etc stove for cold weather and 100% reliability is an Optimus 111 burning kero.

  How does it do against mosquitos? Can they bite through it?

  By itself, an AD hoodie runs a bit of mosquito interference, but the lattice weave is so open that once they a find a landing spot in between lofted tufts, they can def bite through. If you have a windbreaker overtop though, you're pretty much mosquito proof.

  Thanks for the detailed information. I am planning on using for a slightly different situation, that is probably less common, but I'm sure not uncommon. I want to be able to go to places that out of cell phone range, but be able to receive emergency text messages. (I'm helping care for some sick family members) So in case of emergency, I can quickly pack up and head home. Usually I am not backpacking so weight is not an issue. It seems like the zoleo is the obvious answer since my primary use case is someone texting me in emergency and I'm able to get the text, despite being out of cell phone range.

  Why didn't you use the tie-outs on the Triplex? They are there for a reason. Internal volume would have been much more similar if you had.

• 
  @adventure_alan_co3 ай бұрын

  Fair question. It would have made the Triplex a bit bigger, though definitely not a gamer changer level. It still would not be as big as offset trio. You also have to be careful not to pull them too taut though, since they're not reinforced as well as the trio's foot end, and thus more likely to damage the tent. Using those guyouts adds stake weight and set up time. And at time of video shoot, it wasn't windy so that aspect didn't matter.

  Really great overview. I was looking at the Offset solo for my "just me" trips but wound up getting the new Duplex Lite for the better interior space. I did add the end poles that the offset series uses to get more interior room if I dont want to use the "find a stick to use as a prop" that I'd been using previously with the Gossamer Gear The One I was replacing.

• 
  @adventure_alan_co3 ай бұрын

  Thanks, friend! Yes, the Duplex Lite and Offset Solo occupy a very similar space, despite technically being different capacities. We may have to do a similar video comparing the best 1P options from across the entire Zpacks line. IMO, the bigger reason to choose Duplex Lite is that it is lighter and less expensive. While it is 1.5 sq ft larger interior floor area, Offset Solo has better headroom, which kinds of makes it a wash when you compare interior volume vs interior volume. Clever to use the offset poles with it though. Hadn't thought of that.

  You've got a major flaw with your methods. You didn't control for gas canister size. The smaller canisters are going to get cold faster, and that is going to affect the efficiency to a higher degree, especially in the stoves without regulators. You should use all the same kinds of gas in the same size can with the same amount of gas in each can to control for those three variables. The level of gas in a canister can also have a large effect. Unfortunately, your data here is not good because you have way too many variables.

  I used this combo all of '23 for over 30 days from mid summer temperatures down to ~ 25F. The fuel efficiency is great, it works well in wind, the pot is an ideal size, and I like that it's aluminum so I can do some slow cooking directly in the pot if I want (though I just freezer bag cook). This spring I'm going to dremel some grooves in the base to drop the pot down (like the Firemaple) so the burner is closer to the pot's bottom. I figure this will help even more in wind and shouldn't cause any flame quenching because the PRD is designed to work that close to a pot. Care will be needed to not overheat the fins though, but that's easy to watch for. All in all a great combo. Expensive but I'm glad I sprang for it.

  Surprised there is no mention of the Petrel. With a Windmaster TriFlex it's considerably cheaper than a jetboil, and the stove and canister both nest inside the pot. The problem with the stash pot is it is quite unstable on stoves not designed for it. The Petrel has slots that make the whole thing much more secure. Only downside is if you want to carry a 230g canister, it won't fit inside the Petrel.

• 
  @adventure_alan_co3 ай бұрын

  This was shot before the Petrel came out and we will be testing it soon and integrating into our content. Really keen on those slots, also how they lower the pot closer to flame, in addition to security. That being said, we do have a preference towards slightly larger pots than the Petrel - easier to cook in, less prone to spilling over, easier to out of, easier to clean, better for mixed 1-2p use.

  One of my favorite canister stove combos as far as wind resistance and fuel economy is the Soto Windmaster with the Fire Maple .8L XT1 kettle with heat exchanger technology. This kettle is fairly wide at 5 3/4 inches. It would be a little awkward to cook in it but for boiling water it works for me.

  Thanks for the suggestion, we may have to try that! Definitely like the heat efficiency of the wider base of the kettle and of course SWM is an excellent stove. Don't love the 8.5 oz weight of the kettle, 2 oz heavier than their 1L pot, and difficult to eat out of and clean.

  I am wondering what weight Alpha Direct fleece you are using? (60,90,120?). I have just purchased a 90 weight Senchi hoody (4oz) with half zip and first impressions are very good but I need to accumulate experience with it. I am pairing it with an Arcteryx Squamish windbreaker (5.5oz). The combination seems to layer well with my Montbell sun hoody. This saves 9 ounces from my usual fleece/rain parka combination and breathes much better for active wear. The windbreaker doubles as a bug shirt.

  Great question! Glad you like it so far! We have a strong preference towards the 90gsm weight, so glad to hear that's what you chose too. 60 gsm feels a bit too airy/not warm enough to be all-purpose, and we'd limit use of 120gsm to shoulder season/winter.

  Thank you for doing this. There are many reasons to buy a system - cost, performance, versatility, etc. If this is about time to boil water in cold and wind, please try the MSR windburner.

  Love the comparisons! My only two cents is that the Soto Windmaster with the tri-flex is the lowest weight for the best performance. The pocket rocket deluxe is a copycat made by MSR to compete with the Windmaster, but its igniter is less reliable and it weighs significantly more than the Windmaster (when paired with the tri-flex). The Windmaster’s igniter never ever fails, it’s like magic, I don’t know how they do it.

• 
  @adventure_alan_co3 ай бұрын

  To each their own and we get it on the weight saving. Alan and I both prefer the MSR PRD for being less fiddly and better balanced than triflex arms, regardless of whether or not the burner unit on the whole is an iterative copy design. We view the quality of the pietzo ignitor as largely inconsequential. PRD's ignitor seems fine and works well enough in our backcountry use. Even if SWM's ignitor is better, that's not a key feature to evaluate based on, and we still have a lighter as backup anyway.
