Free is good😊 I use the goshawk with the stand a lot on my monthly hikes/cookups. I have grown to love the Goshawk. At the end of the day, whatever holds a bit of alcohol and doesn't melt will do the trick.

That's great to hear. 😊. How does it compare? , identical?

That's a great idea 😊👍

No problems 😊

@@melmot99 I would say China

@@robertarosaly115 it's a great little device once you get it powered up😊

It blew me away that it would be still okay😊

Thanks for leaving a detailed response and tip. I still use a gas stove on occasions but really enjoy the peace and quiet of alcohol when hiking. Especially at night when you need to be extra vigilant of what's lurking around.

@ you never know who or what could be within 30-50 yards away from your location. Sometimes keeping things on the down low could save your life. Especially if there is a dangerous animal or escaped criminal is nearby. Here’s two more tips for you 1. For no breakfast carry dehydrated or freeze dried food

Wasn’t done brother If you carry dehydrated food for breakfast all you have to do is boil Water then put the freeze dried or dehydrated food in a container with A good lid pour the boiling water screw on the lid and hit the trail and 8-12 minutes the food is rehydrated you’re down the trail 3/4-1 mile with no aromas to attract attention 2. Think of switching to a side burner stove this means you don’t need the extra weight of carrying a pot stand. Take a look at the alcohol stoves I designed especially the mahalo and ultimate stoves. Those are made from 53 mm wide aluminum cans (the size the 8.4 ounce Red Bull energy drinks come in. They are side burners and only weigh 6.5-7 grams. Denatured alcohol burns so clean I have two alcohol stoves with more than 700 burns on them. Yes if you step on the stove you will crush it but with limited tools you can make another stove in minutes. A You Tuber with handle “Rainbow hiker” shows quickly building another alcohol stove on the trail Also look at the Fancee Feast alcohol stove designed by Zellph Stove works. It’s made from a cat food can, part of a tomato paste can and a piece of carbon felt. The three biggest KZbinrs who are fans of the Fancee feast stove are Colorado Camper, Paleohiker, and Hiram Cook. The Fancee Feast stove has built in pot stand and weighs only about 14 grams.

@ now there’s another choice. Are you only wanting a fast boil or are you willing to wait a little longer for the boil for improved fuel economy. I never was a thru hiker I was only interested in short hikes lasting 1-3 days. But what got me to designing alcohol stoves was a Canadian cold front came all the way down to New Mexico and Texas the temperature plunged down to -9 degrees Fahrenheit with the wind blowing at 30-50 miles an hour and I was in student housing at Eastern New Mexico University and the place lost power and stayed off for 6 hours, I had all kinds of food but no way to heat a can of food or even make a hot cup of coffee and I decided then and there “This is never happening to me again!” So I find alcohol stoves and the gas line antifreeze “Heet in the yellow bottle and I was always wanting the fuel to last as long as possible in case the power was out for days The KZbinr Hiram Cook put my mahalo stove through its paces if you want to see those tests. The best video to watch is the last test of Mato Nupai’s mahalo stove . By the way My b Name is Two Bears but that handle was already taken so I searched the internet for Two Bears in other languages. Mato Nupai is Two Bears in Lakota.

That would be interesting to try

Danke Schon 😊

Thanks for your positive feedback.😊 Initially, I was taken back by the cost but soon put that to the side. I was tossing up whether to buy the 3 knife set instead but realised I wouldn't really use the third knife, and it doesn't come with chopping boards.

I didn't think they would be that sharp out of the box

Same issue I had. Super annoying and wanted to return it the next day because I couldn't figure it out..other ones work easily but not the target one is complicated

Not designed for Salt Water. Salt is very corrosive.

@ thank you. Shortly after posting that I saw on their website that they clearly state it’s not for salt water. I’ve read that the only filter that filters sea water are RO filters. And those type of systems are large and have huge energy requirements. Pity this filter system can’t do that.

You can boil salt water, collect the steam and let it condense in another container to make salt water drinkable. You do have to add a little salt water back into the fresh water as this method removes all minerals from the water and we need minerals to live! Desalinated salt water also taste different than fresh water, if you've ever been on an international cruise liner than you'll know because they desalinate the salt water for ALL the onboard water needs from cleaning to drinking water as this is easier than carrying enough water!

I can't argue that 😊👍

Best views😊

That's great to hear. It's a great present.😊

@@bushgearreview niiice! i was asking because, i was wondering what the rules are about using this firebox in QLD. From what I've researched, the rules seem to be really hard to pin down! Some rules only apply in national parks and state forests, some rules only apply during fire bans. I would love to use it on some rocks by a creek or river, like you do in the video!!! Are you familiar with the rules about using these kinds of stoves in QLD?

@oneeshie, like you say, the rules are very hard to interpret, but I always bring my own wood. I do use the trangia or goshawk alcohol burners a lot inside the firebox or ganesha stove.

The firebox is very efficient and safer as far as bushfire potential.

@@bushgearreview so you think if i brought the firebox out to a campsite, or a creek, i wouldn't run into any trouble? i'd love to use it outdoors more often, but ive been trying to figure out the rules haha 🤔

I wouldn't want to say either way. It's a matter of case by case, and use your gut feeling.

You could try a Drifta alternative less $$$.

Thankyou.😊 Also, paint scrapers are great for flipping smashburgers on flat grill BBQs..

No problems 😊

That's great to hear👍. Agreed, nice bloke. I love my Stov😊

Thankyou.😊

Is that the "Dometic Go Area camp light"?

Sure is. So far, seems solid and tons of features. Just no real reviews as of yet. I haven't had the chance to make use of it while camping. Maybe I'll update after my next trip😂. Thanks,

It would be great to hear about your experience after a camp.😊

Just an update. Dometic area light was amazing. Run time was impressive as well as adjustability. Having the app to control on the fly was nice as well. Being able to power off and conserve while outside cooking and turn back on before stumbling in a dark tent was nice. Several light options and colors. Might want to take a look. Good bang for your buck in my opinion .. but what do I know 😅

@michaelsoto3245 That's great to hear. Thanks for your take on the light. It's definitely on my radar, and I will keep an eye out for some good deals on it in the near future.

I think from memory around 6-10 gm an hour. Standard 230gm canister should last 24-36 hours.

Thankyou😊 You don't realise how handy it is until you just need some water to wash hands or quickly wash something off.

I'm keeping mine for a base camp in a shack one day.😊

Something fun to try out😊👍

Tried and tested😊

Just even for the smell of fresh coffee😊

@@Plutoismine_13 No problems 😊

The windshield helps a lot. My mate swears by the adapter so he can run the Coleman bottles as well. Merry Christmas 😊

I hope you have fun playing. 😊
