Just came across this... and at the time I write this, the Grampians are on fire and out of control. P.S. Eurocopter AS350 Écureuil (also known as the Aérospatiale AS350). This model is commonly used for utility and rescue operations due to its versatility and reliability. I googled the image from a still in your video, so it MAY NOT be the exact model flown.

Did I see that you put a bend in the side of your Evernew pot? Is that a pour spout that you added by bending it? Also, how much alcohol do you use in your Kojin stove to bring 16 oz. of water to a boil? Will you try to get the water warmer before boiling it if possible by putting it inside your jacket or anything like that? Just curious about how much alcohol you use in a day? How many ounces of water do you boil per day? Thanks!

Nice video, thanks for sharing. I have a Trail Designs' Sidewinder system with an Evernew 1.3L pot, and the 12-10 alcohol stove. I bought it with a titanium simmer ring, and it works great for baking muffins and stuff. I think I bought it in 2009 or 2010, and it's still one of my favorites. I use it when cooking for two. Trail Designs makes some awesome gear. I have other smaller set-ups for solo hikes, but just last week I decided to invest in another Sidewinder kit for my Toaks 700mL pot, and it came with the Kojin included. Unfortunately for me the Kojin, as flat and shallow as it is, it's not shallow enough for the 700mL Sidewinder system, because the titanium cone is very short (it has to be because otherwise it would not fit inside the pot). So with that system, there are only about 2cm of distance between the Kojin and the bottom of the pot, and that's not enough room to allow the flame to develop properly. It took more than 11 minutes to boil two cups of water. I didn't give up though, so I took part of the ceramic fill out of the Kojin and put it inside an empty tin of Vick's VapoRub, 12g. It works great! The water boils in a little over 6 minutes. As I said I have other systems, faster ones too. But I think this one is the lightest, and although the pot is small, it's still wide enough that allows me to rehydrate my homemade meals in it, with enough room to stir the food around and eat from it like a bowl. Overall great system, I think it's my new favorite, but Kojin has been a bit of a disappointment.

I think the GVP ( Glen Van Pesky) caldera cone cook system is lighter still with its foster can pot and esbit cubes!
@Tel-the-Hiker7 ай бұрын
Thanks Underdog - The Caldera cone is a great system a trail bubby of mine uses it. My Versu Ti windscreen weighs 29g - and was available in Australia at an affordable price. I get a bit obsessive about efficiency ie how much Alcohol they use. I think you would find the Fosters can uses more alcohol. The Trail design stove is ridiculous efficient. I have explored solid fuels as an alternative to Metho but they all leave carbon everywhere!! I haven't tried Esbit cube but i might give them a go... but its hard to compete with Metho, clean cheap and energy dense. Tel

👍👍👍 .. nice 😊. I've put together (an ongoing development) some sets that do very much the same. Perhaps not as efficiently (could be close though), but then it costs me almost nothing .. mostly salvaged material. Flame / Heat Control .. I'm playing around with 'simmer' rings that I just chuck on top of the burner. Results so far are encouraging. For a reduced heat output, I also use Whiskey / Similar, Bottle Caps filled with Ceramic / Glass Wool. They burn long enough to finish off whatever and anyway, refilling isn't that much of a schlep. Stirring constantly and removing the pot regularly from the flame for short periods, goes a great way in preventing the contents from burning. Thanks for the share .. cheers ..

Hi Thomas - Since I've made this video - a lot of people have suggested solving the lack of simmer problem by resting the pot in a Pot Cosy. My pack a Gossama Gear Mariposa allows me to store my cook system on an external pocket - so when i hit camp at the end of the day I can cook my Tea straight away and allow to stand for a period of time to allow my food to rehydrate by time rather than a timer ( or a combination of both). I really enjoyed getting your thoughts and hopefully I bump into you on the trail one day. Next week i am doing 10 days on the Heysen Trail. Regards Tel👍

As a fellow Tasmanian long-distance hiker who loves trekking through very isolated parts of the world, yours is the only video I've found that covers the situation of LONG timeframes between re-supply... KZbin is chokka-block full of folks from the Northern Hemisphere who do hikes in places that have a town every 50-or-so kilometres and food drops every couple of hundred kilometres, hence why they can get away with using these flimsy ultralight 40-50L packs. Us Southern Hemisphere people in AU/NZ, South America and Africa don't get the convenience of such food drops and rivers/lakes everywhere. Subscribed for further videos - Keep up the good work...

Function I could agree more. Your right our thru hikes don't have trail towns everywhere - this teaches Australian Hikers a discipline with regards pack weight and reliability of equipment. It also makes you really think hard regarding all your equipment. clothing, navigation and communications choices. This is what I love about Australian Hikes - Their is no Whimping out on a hike!! (or its hard to do) Warning this cook system is addictive - Once you have converted to a lightweight Alcohol stove like this their is no going back. Thanks for your comment - i really appreciated it Mate. Tel

I achieve simmer on my alcohol setup by swapping out the burner with a one with a smaller diameter. There are a few examples on my channel. I find that a burner, same style as the one you are using, 35mm diameter burns one millilitre of alcohol for one minute which make timing a summer straight forward. Hope some of that is of use..
