*Even if not on this Table.. What is your Favorite Backpacking / Camp Stove of all time you own and Why?*

[@Oxnate]

Could you number the stoves (or anything you put in the description)? It's hard to find which stove I want in your list as it seems to be completely random. Thanks. Edit: please also add matching numbers in the video.

[@kennethmathe8969]

@@Oxnate I had to rewatch to catch the name of the one I wanted to look more into, the virestove.

[@Oxnate]

@@kennethmathe8969 Same. Except I had to re-watch 3 times and turn on subtitles before I figured it out. Subtitles said "virus stove." Hence the request to make things clearer for us. Several gear round ups could also use numbers. A couple of times I couldn't find the gear I was interested in and just gave up.

[@lanegardinier760]

I have that same little folding 'Chinese' stove, got it about 25 years ago from a random catalog for around $6.00, it's comparatively heavy but has been surprisingly durable

[@MarketHealthSpa]

For the Lixada, I use 2 tent pegs as a cross frame. Works a treat for smaller pots or cups. 👍

[@NutjobwithaMachete]

Love my UCO Flat Mini (thanks for showing me that one!) and I've modded my Lixada to use Hex and alcohol along with the wood and made a cross piece out of an old Coleman stove that stopped working. Thanks for sharing bro!

[@5heinens]

Super complete and great explanations of why or when to use each type. We've been looking at stoves for some time (using our jetfoil for now) and this was sooo helpful!

[@dallenbounds2616]

NOW, the Kelly Kettle has a new stopper that is green (and is standard on all the new models) that whistles when the water starts to boil. Another new improvement is the folding pot holder that fits on top of the kettle OR under the fire pan to keep it stable on uneven terrain or to protect the surface from heat that you would normally place the firepan on, like a picnic table.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Right on

[@bmmeup1]

Another plus one for Firebox! Amazing little stove, well thought out and built to last. Both versions. And their people (shout out to Steve and the CS folks!) are just stellar. I will never go back!

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Finally got on in the mail!

[@GrumpyGrunt]

Firebox, both versions. My Ti Nano never leaves my truck kit, so I have it no matter what. I also bought a Soto Windmaster last year and I am really digging it too.

[@thetunnel7726]

i am a big fan of the firebox nano, for folding flat and packability, as well as its multi-fuel capabilities.

[@GreenShortzDIY]

Chris, thanks for including my stove on the table. Good feedback on some improvements I can make and features that can be added. The flat-pack Vyre Stove is pretty amazing. Some incredible engineering to get that in one piece. Wow! Loved the set for the video too. Perfect visuals in the background. Keep up the good work.

[@musicandbooklover-p2o]

Have used the Kelly kettle for decades. The kettle whistles when it's ready, you can use frying pans/saucepans to cook a meal. Haven't taken it hiking but use it all the time to boil water if the power is out or just for an early morning cuppa outside. The Irish Kelly Kettle doesn't use a rubber bung but a metal cap which Whistles when the water boils, and has done for decades. Ours is coming up for twenty years old now and has the the metal cap and whistle, plus the hole in the base is bigger to feed in bigger pieces of wood, we often use peat if we're cooking breakfast as well as boiling water for a cuppa. From Ireland

[@itay155]

I personally own the VIRE stove for about half a year now and it is as good as it gets, we used it about 15-20 times and still feels like new!!! I fully agree with every word you said, changed our outdoor cooking experience (before I was using gas) for good. Highly recommended!! edited for spelling

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Right on bud. Thanks for the feedback

[@virestove]

Thanks very much itay. Happy to hear that we have a satisfied customer. Vonderful day VIREteam

[@Thereal111t]

That’s a good collection of wood burners! Personally my favorite stove system is the trangia 25 duossal. It can run alcohol, butane, with an accessory burner as well as gasoline or kerosene with a different accessory burner. It’s an absolutely solid cook system that can be configured for lots of different situations from small to medium groups.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Never used the original trangia

[@Darignobullseye]

Thank you!! I've wanted to see several of these. This really helped!! I also suggest you try the Firebox stove/grill and the Firebox nano. Very very durable. Both offered in titanium as well.

[@sameold77]

What?! No Firebox Stove. That's the best of the best...you need a 5" and a Nano. Nice video, thanks for sharing.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

I would not know. Firebox never returns my emails

[@sameold77]

Why not just purchase one like the rest of us and test it. You don't need to have a business relationship with them do you. Nor Steve's permission to do a video or demo of it.

[@saraskold9631]

you can get a hold Of Steve and maybe he could give you a break the fire box is the best fold up there is or as others said buy one then if you dont like it you can sell it on gear trade and get your money back

I have that little no-name stove you showed. It works well enough. I recently invested in a kelly kettle base camp in stainless. They now come with a whistle stopper. It can operate well enough with an alcohol stove or the tabs. I even got a gel fuel pan for it. I haven't used it except to test it but I will soon enough. Thanks for the great vid and info.

I’ve been making (and collecting) “survival” kits for over 35 years now, and have quite a few. I’ve have recently started collecting stoves for my kits. Have always used the basic canteen cup stove, and I still like it a lot. But of all the stoves I’ve put in my kits, I keep the Emberlit Fireant in my bag.

8:05 This exact unnamed twig stove was offered at Bass Pro Shops in about 1986, my sophomore year in high school. I know this because I bought one on clearance, not knowing a thing about twig burners or portable stoves. Fast forward 37 years and it's still proudly in my collection.

[@Thomas-nx8bw]

Great vid as usual! I was wondering if you could do a camping trip video or something along the lines of that. I know it's getting cold but next summer I know I'm gonna be doing a lot of camping and outdoors activities!

[@tisstuart]

I make sets of penny can burners to use with alcohol or gels like sterno for a clean fuel. Then convert steel coffee cans into stove and oven sets. They use the penny cans or slope feed wood and never fail to work. So whenever needed it isn't actually an open flame. The best thing is they get stolen from me more often than damaged. So each set is done from memory. Knowledge is the best tool humans can survive on. ( - ;

I have a Kelly kettle and a gasifier... The hobo stove from my kelly kettle fits my gasifier perfectly... I didn't like the instability of my gasifier... That little springy thing is slippery. But the hobo stove attatchment has completely transformed it. Thanks for the review 👍

[@keisha717]

The MSR Whisperlite International is the best stove for the serious survivalist. This legendary, multi-fuel backpacking stove burns white gas, kerosene, and unleaded auto fuel, so you'll be able to siphon gas from abandoned cars to run your stove post-TEOTWAWKI. The stove is incredibly reliable and can be cleaned, maintained, and repaired in the field.

[@keisha717]

@The Kraken Yes, most MSR stoves come with a spare parts kit, otherwise you can always buy parts aftermarket from the company.

[@Chaucerfaux1]

@The Kraken Yes, most local retail stores that carry camping goods will likely have the replacemnt parts kit, it around 14.99- 20.99 depending on where you look

[@Chaucerfaux1]

I 100% agree with you, i have an original whisperlite with the self cleaning jet nozzle, that thing is a trooper for sure winter temps dont even really slow it down since gasoline doesnt freeze unless youre like -30degrees. Though i suspect it would work even in a blizzard at the north pole or southpole.

[@AussieHunta]

I got my whisperlite 20yrs ago and bought the service kit at the time. Ive used it heaps over the years and it still runs like the first day. The only thing Ive had to replace was an oring on the pump.

[@dimitrifortounis4787]

I've got an msr copy and would second it as an excellent choice provided you have/find flammable liquid you're pretty much good to go. For a survival situation I'd also have my folding pocket stove as a solid fuel option too. Allows you to have the best of both worlds and conserve liquid fuel for when either the weather is against me or there's no solid fuel.

[@TheKraigShow]

Can you do a video about what you would do if you got serious injuries in survival situations? Broken bones, burns, cuts etc? I think that would be very beneficial and informative. Or even survival simulations like lets say you started with a broken leg, what should you do?

[@DropForgedSurvival]

TheKraigShow fun idea for a video... in the meantime... watch my “Zipstitch” episode

Great list Chris and amazing vid some will be looking in to for the fam thanks again.....

[@zerocool212121]

My favorite bomb proof stoves are msr xgk ex and my firebox stove for its versatility and being so robust. I can even put the xgk inside the firebox if I need to use it as a windscreen, also it can use all the alcohol stoves and works great with sternos just raise or lower where it sits for more/less heat. For cleaning soot off, my two ways are throw a little soap on the burn areas before cooking as it helps when you wipe it down or use aluminum foil crunched up cleans it like new.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

We are looking into the MSR whisper lite and / or the MSR Deluxe

[@Standswithabeer]

the alcohol burner with a windscreen/cookset. It is a Trekmate, a smaller, less expensive version of the Trangia set. It surprises me all the time. Coddling the hot alcohol flame is the secret. I can boil & simmer, fry, and bake. LOL- my home made small rocket stove is next, though. ;)

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Im looking into the Titanium Burners... But alcohol is incredibly inefficient if you plan on more than 7 Days... You need a Liter Bottle of Fuel, Pour 2oz of Fuel Minimum if you are doing more than simple boiling per meal. Ill take the twigs in most cases but a few solid cubes or a canister Stove like the Pocket Rocket or MightyMo since the Fuel lasts ALOT longer. But for shorter Trips... Absolutely ZERO things wrong at all with Alcohol Stoves.

[@ajjohnson3700]

Nice man great video some awesome stoves there man love the folding grill that thing was awesome I am really digging the flat packs through make your own grill and be able to cook or do what u need for a flat portable light package but Man U can’t beat the rocket stove gonna look into that for sure

[@mrbillmacneill]

trangia was my mess kit stove in my backpacking days... still have most of it and use it in the RV with a Coleman two burner propane stove . which , I admit , is no back pack stove but does fold up nicely . we have a little ecco [I think ] bbq that folds up very small if not exactly a featherweight. it burns wood as well as briquets.

Epic review. Thanks! Kelly Kettle has a whistle now.

[@lilvalentine545]

The kelly kettle I purchased recently is the same size as that one you show here. Its called the 'scout' and it has a whistle and a pot stand that can go on top. I'm very impressed how quickly it worked and the fuel was free. Kelly Kettle also do a smaller model called the trecker which I would love to get for solo adventures. I also recently purchased an amazing small solar cooker called the Gosun Go which I'm waiting to arrive. I think it will be a great contender for fire ban situations. It can boil or bake using no flame and no fuel but the sunshine.

[@yeswing10]

I bought a Bio Lite stove at Cabela's. It somehow uses the fire to create electricity and powers a light that shines on the cook area, and you can charge your phone, too. I haven't used it yet.

[@RubberRivet]

I do like the Kelly kettle, I've had a brew from burning a discarded pizza box in the past. I like the way you can burn just about anything you find, and you don't need much of it.

[@wendyfoster5579]

[@benjohnson6833]

[@jayjenkins4721]

Cool video since I'm just starting to get into solo backpack camping. The titanium Lixada stove I bought a couple months ago from Amazon came with the cross members for cup support. I boiled my water in my Stanley cup and it worked fine. Also cooked up some sausage and eggs in a military kit skillet...just had to keep taking the skillet off because you can't control the heat...lol. Being budget minded and a newbie I also have a small can stove and a pocket stove that I haven't had a chance to use yet.

[@silaslongshot941]

For the Kettle style stoves, I have learned using my Kelly Kettle to get it off the fire without torching your hand is to use both hands and grab the bail handle, hold it 90° from the chimney (or level with the ground) and lift the kettle off the fire with it held that way. No more scorched fingers! And I think the bottle plug on the Kelly is more to keep bugs and trash out and to secure the water while carrying the thing around. I never leave mine plugged when on the fire because when you hit a boil, it will violently blow the plug out along with a large quantity of boiling water.

[@jenky1044]

Great show thank you. Quite a few of these aren't available now a year later.

[@inglwud5625]

One thing you missed on the Kelley- you can fill it with water and the rubber cork holds it - the gillie cant . Also bought the new whistle plug. Great review.

That is a very solid Point.

[@ewanmontgomery9696]

I've had a honey stove for camping / fishing, pack's flat (8 pieces) , takes wood, charcoal, & meths. I use it every fishing trip in the winter down the beach

[@rachels209]

I can’t go past my Trangia which has been serving me well for 35 years. Very simple, true all weather capability, and can be used in a total fire ban (important in Australia). Not the lightest or most efficient, but will work every time regardless.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

If it works for you! Then its right for you

[@davidcooper6704]

"The Kelly Kettle is so hot it actually starts hurting your hand when you put it on"???? It wouldn't if you had read the instructions or watched the many videeos (includinding `kelly's own video). It should be held by the handle at 90 degrees from the kettle with both hands so your hands should NEVER be above the flue when taking it off or putting on the fire bowl. If you are giving a review and demonstrating a product you must, in the interests of safety get it right!

I have the uberleben and couldn't be happier with it. Well maybe if it was titanium lol, but I've been using it for 3 years now in Northern Ontario throughout all 4 seasons and its served me well

Just a bit of info to be passed on for everyone. In reference to the Lixada stove, which i own. The top opening is a bit wide. Expedition Research makes a 2 pack grill grate kit. The 5x5 grate fits perfectly on the top of the Lixada. You still have to balance your cook ware or cup but it is a cheap answer and works well. Thanks.
