Best Hiking Gear - Jetboil Zip review

[@shaunbowen]

Giving this video a thumbs up simply because of the thumbnail. I've had a jetboil for years and never realised the lid perfectly fits the plastic cup on the base!

[@TeamWillder]

Haha thank you Shaun! Yeah it was a few uses before I noticed that. It's still going strong for me. Perfect combo of packability/usability

[@Mike-nq7fn]

I just picked up the Jetboil Zip today, great review thanks

[@TeamWillder]

Great choice -- you will not regret it! Appreciate your feedback

[@nadiaswan1405]

I have just bought one of these for my wild swimming trips and your video has made me glad I did. Thank you

[@TeamWillder]

Nice! You made a solid purchase for sure. Thank you for the Comment and view @Nadia Swan!

[@asiangirlinthewild]

Thanks for interested video 😉 I like it and will support you

[@TeamWillder]

Thank you! haha

[@thisismylaine]

I just bought this so your video was great to see how it’s all stored and how to put it together. Thank you!

[@TeamWillder]

I'm glad it helped and thank you for the view!

[@arnoldzavala5047]

This was an excellent review, I really enjoyed this. Thank you for helping me make a decision on this backpacking stove. Kudos!

[@TeamWillder]

Thank you. We appreciate the comment and support - you will enjoy this stove on your adventures!

BTUs: This is what I remember..... One British Thermal Unit is defined as the amount of heat energy needed to increase the temperature of 1lb. of pure distilled water, 1°f. at sea level (this is called sensible heat). Once it reaches the boiling point (in this case 212°f), each lb. of water will need a further 970 BTUs to convert the water into steam @ 212°f (this heat is called latent heat). It does not raise the temp of the water. It only changes the state of the water from a liquid to a vapor or gas. Conversely, to freeze water, you must remove 1 BTU per pound of water until it reaches 32°f. (Removal of sensible heat). At this point, it's necessary to remove a further 144 BTUs per lb.(latent heat) to change the state of the 32°f water to 32°f ice. Unlike boiling water, removing BTUs from the 32° ice will cause a "sensible" heat loss, and the ice will be made colder as the ice contains less heat energy. No matter how long you boil the water, the temp will stay @212°. The water simply boils away. Remember: SENSIBLE heat changes the TEMPERATURE of the liquid. LATENT heat changes the STATE from a liquid to vapor (BTUs added), or from a liquid to a solid (BTUs removed). Hope this is clear enough for everyone.

[@TeamWillder]

LOVE THIS! I'm going to have to re-read it to make sure I fully understand to be honest haha. This is great thank you very much.

[@RisenGlorfindel]

Got mine for 63 dollars for use with the Army. Perfect for coffee in the morning

[@TeamWillder]

They do make a damn good cup of coffee. I like the coozy for them too so you can drink it while it's hot. Thank you TheGreatPurplePanda for the Comment and view!

[@nathanandrade9936]

Hi, great video. Is the flame adjustable? For example can you simmer when cooking? Thank you

[@20Hikecdt23]

I’m picking a Zip up before I return to the CDT. Thanks give the review.

[@JohnyStone888]

Hello! Nice review! One important thing wasn't mentioned - does the gas valve have some sort of adjustment? Can I just simmer food? The Flash version does not have this feature I think... What about the Zip? Can I control the heat output? Thanks!

[@TeamWillder]

Great question, I did not mention that haha. The knob you turn allows you to adjust how much fuel comes out and that allows you to slow down the cooking. If you have a pot you can make noodles/rice/etc. There is no low/medium/high setting, but you can control heat output with the knob. Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@sf9000]

Excellent demo! Answered a lot of my questions!

[@TeamWillder]

Thank you sf9000! Your support and Comment is very much appreciated!

[@caebueng]

This was really a great review. He made everything super easy to understand. Great video for beginners.

[@TeamWillder]

Thank you for your kind words! I love this little stove!

[@goodfellas9024]

Great review. Picked mine up this morning. 👍

[@TeamWillder]

Great choice. We plan on making Carne Asada with it on our next trip. The Zip is a quality product and the price point is well worth it.

[@johnjentzer1863]

Great video. Confirms my in initial experience with my Jetboil Zip.

[@TeamWillder]

Thank you @johnjentzer1863! This little guy is still chugging for me (a few years after I made this video.) Considering some of the newer models they have out now I may look to upgrade to a larger one soon, but I am still getting great use out of the Zip.

[@geezerpleasers_OG]

Very well done. The only thing I'd add is to carry a little windscreen if there's going to be any significant breeze that day.

[@TeamWillder]

Appreciate the Comment and view @GeezerPleasers! A little windscreen would be nice in certain cases. The screen that is on it does well in most cases, but there have been a few times where it is more efficient to move it lower/behind a tree/etc. to get it out of the wind.

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

That was a very interresting video.Thank you.Good review !

[@TeamWillder]

It has been a great stove for me (Adam,) and Team Willder. Thank you for your comment it is much appreciated!

[@IndianHemlock]

Nice review on the jet boil, bacon 🥓 in the woods always a winner !!!

[@TeamWillder]

Bacon is always a winner in my book haha, especially in the woods! Simple lunch on the Jetboil. Thank you for the comment and view!

[@danielep.8331]

Hi! Great Review! I was wondering... did you try it also below 0 C degrees (20F)?

[@TeamWillder]

Yes @Danielep.8331! I got to try out the Jetboil Zip on an overnight trip up to Mica Peak in Liberty Lake - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJy8kqdoZsSYh6c - this was a cold trip haha. Sorry for the significantly delayed reply and thank you for the Comment and View!

[@Blinkjake]

Great review! Also loved the sound of the dog in the water 😂

[@TeamWillder]

Thank you Jake! I appreciate the feedback/Comment. And yeah haha, hard to get them out sometimes!

[@benhikescamps]

Great view thanks guys. Can you keep the plastic lid on it when boiling - to speed things up? Lid heat resistant? Thanks. 👍Sending greetings from the UK! 🇬🇧

[@TeamWillder]

Thank you @Londoner Outdoors! Yes you can keep it on - have learned that since making this video. From what I've seen it does cut down the time by a few seconds, but it's not substantial due to the strainer and sipper. May help more in higher elevations. Appreciate your View and Comment! :)

[@ashfield001]

Yep, I’m going to buy one after watching your review. You should be paid for this video 👍🏻

[@TeamWillder]

haha thank you S Ashfield! That would be nice. I'm going on year 3 and it has been great for me - I think you will definitely enjoy it.

[@gusbiesecker8677]

Hey Team Wilder. Did that stove attachment come separate? Or did it come with the Jetboil? Because I want to be able to cook with a pan on that burner that came with the jetboil.

[@TeamWillder]

Hey Gus! The Pot Attachment is separate, it's around $10. It works pretty well/fits inside the cup. The only thing is you don't have the wind screen like the jetboil cup has, so it's easier to use on a calm day/out of the wind. Thank you for the Comment and the view!

[@joeycathcart]

Just picked up a Zip. Looking forward breaking it in!

[@TeamWillder]

Nice Joey! Great time of year to get on the trail

[@20Hikecdt23]

Ordered a zip last Fri to use on the CDT. Thanks!

[@garyholmes2849]

Support from Northern Ireland

[@TeamWillder]

Thank you Gary! Would love to make it 'across the pond' one of these days!

[@ExposedRoot]

Just snagged one of these for hot toddies on hikes at the peak. Nice informative vid. Gonna love this over my previous little stove that took forever to boil water. What did you use to record this video? Thanks

[@TeamWillder]

A GoPro Hero8 Black was used to record this vid - looking at the new 9s for maybe next year, or will hold out for the 10 down the line. Thank you for the view and comment!

[@justinvsky1]

Just bought this based on pan cook at the end! I knew it could be done! I’m used to strategic cooking too I have a studio apt with a one burner anyways when not camping. Picking up at REI tomorrow (with pot support)

[@TeamWillder]

Nice! I didn't even think about mentioning it for home use I am sure it would work great. It boils water faster than my own stove lol. Very cool. Thank you for the comment and view!

[@justinvsky1]

@@TeamWillder I am NOT using it at home just to be clear

[@TeamWillder]

I misunderstood you comment initially - honest mistake. thankyou @justinvsky1. It should last awhile though I'm into year 3 with mine.

[@wewreckedem]

Dude I love the way you present the item. Great channel. Also is that attachment a jetboil stove attachment?

[@TeamWillder]

Thank you wewreckedem! Loving the compliments. Yes, the Pot Support is a Jetboil item. www.rei.com/product/884005/jetboil-pot-support - they were a little more back in the day. Just used it this last weekend to brown ground beef for enchiladas. Still going strong

[@EerieBetrayal]

sweet review mate. got one of these recently for kayak adventures. should be perfect

[@TeamWillder]

Great size to store in/on the yak. Good choice and thank you!

[@EerieBetrayal]

@@TeamWillder you answered every question i had, but still kept it simple enough that i could retain the information without going all A.D.D. i like that in a review lol. it was a gift form my Dad, i reckon he made a good choice too. still yet to use it but i'm confident i'll be satisfied

[@TeamWillder]

Very appreciative of these comments. We want to be engaging, yet informative in our reviews. Thank you

[@EerieBetrayal]

@@TeamWillder no worries mate

[@drklynoonrides6674]

Great review. Thank you sir.

[@TeamWillder]

No, thank you sir! Great little stove - thank you for the support!

[@rottwaller07]

excellent review i will be purchasing the kit.

[@TeamWillder]

Thank you I appreciate that Michael! I am looking to add the Jetboil Coffee Press to mine I know someone with it and it works great too

[@k.whiking4372]

Great review, I have one of these and I find it to be very susceptible to blow outs in the wind. I prefer my Primus EATA lite.

[@TeamWillder]

Thank you K Williamson. That's fair, I have had it blow out a few times. Starts back up great though for me. I've had mine for a few years now I'll have to check out Primus when it comes time to pick up a new one! Always up for trying out new gear

[@chriscipolloni4064]

Love it man great review! Just got one. Excited to try it out

[@TeamWillder]

Awesome, Chris! I don't think you will be disappointed. Let us know how your 1st time using it goes :)

[@samuelparra1510]

I’m on the fence between JetBoil vs MSR. Thnx 4 this review….plus got me hungry for some BLT’s.

[@TeamWillder]

MSR's comparable stove is good as well. Kinda bias towards the Jetboil with how much fun I've had with it and how reliable it has been. Thank you for the comment and view, Samuel!

[@anshbajaj5002]

Amazing Review

[@TeamWillder]

Thank you very much!

[@jackofalltrades4844]

My jetboil zip has an issue with the flame control. For whatever reason the jet boil cannot hold a low-level flame without it going out. Extremely disappointing, I think I would’ve leveled up to the more expensive one if I had known I was going to have issues. Also realized mine came without the pot attachment which is a bit frustrating.

[@TeamWillder]

I found out the first time I used it that the pot attachment was separate - seems like it should come with it. I have not had the same issue with flame control - that would be disappointing. I think when mine stops working well I'll upgrade to the next size up for a little more versatility. Thank you Jack!

[@justinvsky1]

I noticed the same thing with heat control but you CAN turn down the heat a bit you just have to do it by SOUND if that makes sense. If you turn the heat on HIGH you CAN turn the knob slightly lower and notice a different level in sound which is offering a slightly lowered heat level. Tested mine today and love it. But yes if you try to turn knob really low for a low flame it will go out. So just slightly turn it.

[@1joancalvet]

Hola Un saludo desde Barcelona. Donde se puede comprar o localizar el accesorio metálico para poder poner la paella para freír carne .he visto que en la página de jetboil no lo venden .podrias indicarme algún enlace . Saludos . Hello Greetings from Barcelona. Where can you buy or locate the metallic accessory to be able to put the paella to fry meat. I have seen that they do not sell it on the jetboil page. Could you tell me a link? regards

nice review dude

[@TeamWillder]

Thank you!

[@jamestaylor9480]

What pan is that. Where is it from

[@TeamWillder]

Thank you for your question @James Taylor - it is a GSI Outdoors Bugaboo 12" pan.

[@douglaswilson3419]

Did the control knob mod on my zip, 100% better able to use with gloves on!

[@TeamWillder]

@DOUGLAS WILSON I didn't even know about the knob mod! That's awesome. Will be modding mine before my next trip :D

[@slikerdet]

Hope people notice that some of the jetbpoil dont have a ignitor build in

[@TeamWillder]

That is good to bring up - we have a friend with the Sumo model and it has the ignitor. Thank you

[@m.hernandez1404]

Next up: Jetboil Air. No burner, no, fuel, no pot. Just rub your hands and hold your cold meal.

[@TeamWillder]

Haha now that would be something else. Probably sold at the Hogwarts School of Bushcraft and Cookery

[@AbnerACantigaJr]

I really want a Jetboil, but im a BUGETARIAN hAHAHAHAha..... thats why i choose APG,, i mean no choice but its do the job well,,, boils .5 liters of water in 2min 20sec using a LPG refill.. hope i can have one THE JETBOIL Yeaaaaahhhhh anyone here with a golden heart,, LoL

[@TeamWillder]

It is an awesome stove. We have an upcoming video where we use it at 0 degrees (F) to cook penne pasta. We used the pot attachment and a backpacking pot. Thank you for the view and support!
