GEAR I USE SNOW PEAK FOLDING TORCH

Good afternoon Adventurers, this is "Gear I use" and the first episode, is the snow peak folding torch. Formerly called the "giga torch" to go along with the Giga power stove and the Giga Lantern..... I wonder if they still exist.

There is a great sense of satisfaction from lighting a fire with one match with the breakdown of logs to kindling, but there is also a great sense of satisfaction from using a blowtorch, with the added bonus of less prep and more fun from playing sensible with instant fire to get things going. I have a Blow torch I use for Plumbing, but found it was really handy for lighting our Chimenea, charcoals and camp fires. Then I learned that I could refill the bottles and then that with an adapter they can be used with gas stoves. Which cuts costs in the long run. Not seen any thing like the Snow Peak here in the UK. Cracking Video again Brett.

[@AdventureOtaku]

I totally agree on the satisfaction thing.... both have their place.

[@KennethStacey]

Snow Peak makes solid gear. Lots of BTUs on that torch plus nicely compact. Let's not joke around.....when you need fire, you need fire!

[@AdventureOtaku]

agreed.

[@Toomuchgearguy]

I second that piece of gear! 😂 Worth the price! Very compact and better than a match 😉

[@AdventureOtaku]

See! I knew you would have input!

[@pgiatrakis]

I love snow peak stuff. Thanks for the reviews 👍👍👍👍👍‼️

[@AdventureOtaku]

I also have the collapsible fire pit.... their stuff is so nice....

[@PumpkinVillage]

Well another item for the Christmas list. The list just keeps growing. Would be great for winter camping too. Take care, Al

[@AdventureOtaku]

great Christmas gift, along with the yeti bucket..... are we really talking about Christmas? yikes....

[@mysterious.hiker.x]

This is definitely on the list of gear I'd never own or use, but it's cool to see it in action. I can already see you've gotten more than the $70 price tag worth of enjoyment out of it. Love the title you came up with fir this series of videos.

[@AdventureOtaku]

Oh i have totally gotten my $70 worth.

[@gadgetman_nz4092]

There is a common saying that is fitting, "Overkill is underrated."

[@AdventureOtaku]

this thing is definitely overkill....

[@roastawk]

First yet again! Watched and liked!

[@AdventureOtaku]

you and @kayak_homie might have to fight this one out. Even on this end I can't tell who was first.

[@roastawk]

@@AdventureOtaku I'm a lover, not a fighter.

[@kayak_homie]

Man, I could totally do this with my Whisperlite. Why the hell did I never think of this before.

[@AdventureOtaku]

The Staff of adventure otaku (myself and my dog) do not condone attempting this with a whisperlite..... but have fun.

[@jacobmeis1249]

you could just use a cheap torch with an adapter.

[@AdventureOtaku]

I suppose.

[@kayak_homie]

First

[@AdventureOtaku]

Thanks for watching brother!

[@user-ot5ro8tw2h]

If someone is hypothermic this could save their life

[@AdventureOtaku]

Yes. Assuming you aren’t using it to set them on fire….
