Lightweight Backpacking Cook System

[@philcarr7807]

Dude I miss you and Joe hanging out. Great vid love the info never thought about using a ziplock

[@BurleyOutdoors]

We will get back together as soon as we can. The border between the US and Canada has been closed.

[@philcarr7807]

Ooo I'm well aware how bad ontario is. I'm in it!!

[@russzandbergen2021]

With the Kojin burner from TD you can overfill and snuff with the lid so you don't use anymore fuel then required. Nice vid ! I'll add one little nit. The cone is designed with wind a resistant side, on the bottom The part of the cone oppisite the handle cut out there are no intake vent holes. if you have wind face the handle cut out away from the wind.

I replaced my ziplocs with mylar bags that are more durable and can be washed in the dishwasher when I get home. They are reflective and help hold the heat and cook a tad faster too. I have yet to wear one out.

[@BurleyOutdoors]

Thanks for the tip! I will have to try those out.

[@SlyDz420]

Cool, I've been trying to think of something reusable.

[@scottengh1175]

Just ordered a 900 ml Evernew pot/mug. Noticed volume marks in pictures. 300ml at third height, 600 ml at 2/3s-- 900 ml estimated at rim. About the volume of 750 ml pots and probably cannot fill as much without rolling boil. My Solo Stove 900 ml pot is more like 1.2 liter. Really nice video, clever kit.

[@Buffenmeyer]

Wow! That’s an excellent system. Thanks for sharing. I’ve been thinking the same thing about shallow cook pots. More surface coming in contact with the heat. The wind screen captures heat on the sides, too. Impressed and subscribing!

[@roryb5512]

Looks like a great system! You’re absolutely right. Long spoons!!!

[@dc8758]

Hello Kyle nice video.Would love to see you & Ranger Joe do another canoeing video.Your first canoe trip was hilarious.A classic

[@BurleyOutdoors]

We will do a video as soon as we can. The boarder is currently closed.

[@camoscrubs]

That’s awesome knowing I can use alcohol stoves again! A video on different backpacking meals would nice.

[@KaStas26]

Great kit! Thanks for review!

[@guitarhiker4449]

I like the hyperlite repack! Would love to see one in a larger size. Large enough to fit a typical freeze dried mountain house sized meal bag. Hike on!

[@BurleyOutdoors]

You can repackage the mountain house meals into ziplocks. Saves weight and size.

[@jerrybobteasdale]

Fold out and down the lip of the Zip-Loc to get the zip seal facing outwards. It keeps the seal clean. It reseals so much easier. It's easier to dispose of too, because it won't leak.

[@BurleyOutdoors]

Good idea thanks!

[@ramiroslof522]

Can you do vid of your sleeping system and haw you stay warm at night ? P.s Thanks of this vid 😉👌

[@BurleyOutdoors]

I will put that on my to do list.

[@justwalking1167]

Been waiting a week for this!!! Are you not a fan of twig stoves or is it a safety issue at that park?

[@BurleyOutdoors]

I like twig stoves. When I go on canoe trips with Joe we use a Bush Buddy quite a bit and I think its ideal for those types of trips. A lot of places in CA do not permit twig stoves so I do not use them very often around here.

[@justwalking1167]

@@BurleyOutdoors Thanks. I got like a million questions for you!!!

[@totoroben]

The repack is a really cool concept, and i could see myself making my own with reflectix

[@GardenGuy1942]

U r wrong.

[@IAMGWH1]

@@GardenGuy1942 Why is he/ that wrong to say?

[@MrTangent]

Nice review/breakdown. Thanks!

[@rickmorley9948]

If you are getting 6 burns out of that fuel bottle, that is a very efficient setup! Nice!

[@fire7side]

Nice set up. I kind of lean towards alcohol but haven't actually used it that much. I don't want to keep buying and throwing away those metal canisters and alcohol is lighter.

[@rkskek123able]

repack is cooool idea~ I try to make it with neoplan fabric too.

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello 👋 Kyle, thank you for sharing this informative video. 👍 It's a very compact system.

[@yoohoo909]

In case of air travel to your hike/camp destination, I replace the lighter (plastics, combustible fluid and if you throw them hard against a wall, they do pop-explode) with strike matches in a small plastic container (old 35mm film container?) With the strike surface wrapped and taped to the outside.

[@KrzysztofC-1]

Great idea you made the review out there, I don't like it when people film them at home or in back garden.

[@cloyd2381]

Have you ever thought about using 190 proof grain alcohol? It is not a poisonous substance like a lot of fuels used in stoves... You can even use it for other things like wound wash and sterilization... If it spills in your pack it doesn't contaminate everything. If you do use it in an alcohol stove be sure it is a NEW stove so that there is not any residue of the other poisonous fuels left.. Keep up the good videos and stay safe.

[@BurleyOutdoors]

I thought of that when I could not find fuel and might try it sometime. The price per ounce is quite a bit more expensive.

[@cooleyincali6239]

Kyle, what type of trekking poles do you like? Also, what about protection? I know you have knives. Bear/wasp spray? Whistle? How does Kelsey's setup differ from yours? Thanks.

[@BurleyOutdoors]

Poles - Black Diamond Alpine cork. They are a couple of years old and starting to show their age I might update eventually. Protection -- I don't carry bear spray in CA. I have carried it in Montana because it's required. Kelsey's Setup - Fairly similar to mine we did a video in 2019 after a 5 day Yosemite hike where we go over both of our gear set ups. We have another week long trip planned for this summer and we will do a gear video then too.

[@wildaboutwatches]

Hello can I ask why the guyline through the top vent? It's getting endemic doing this and I don't understand the point... from a very long time MLD user.

[@BurleyOutdoors]

There is a tie out about half way up the zipper but not one that connects to the top vent. The one on half way up the zipper is a nice to have with wind and snow loading but I usually just connect it to the bottom tie out to keep it from flapping around.

[@VentureOutside]

Nice kit, I use something similar with the Evernew 1.3L pot. Good tip on the REI alcohol fuel, I've been using Yellow Heet, since I ran out of denatured alcohol. Anymore trips on the agenda?

[@BurleyOutdoors]

I have tried the yellow heat before too and it works ok. Its been a while though and I remember either it smelled a little strange or left my pot all black on the outside. Cant remember. I maybe thinking of the one time I used the red bottle. Nothing planned at this time for May but my summer is pretty full with trips.

[@tomnoyb8301]

Short-wide is better; for one thing the lid could be a fry-pan. Powdered eggs are probably the best trail food, but really require a fry-pan to prepare properly. What's needed is a flat 8" lid with no more than 1/2" depth to form a decent fry-pan. The middle can't be detented up. Oil must spread evenly. The pot-side should be no more than 650ml. That's correct; just the opposite of every titanium pot on the market. Boy-Scouts used to make an aluminum kit, where the pot-handle flipped-over to compress the lid? Sealing two flat-ish pans isn't easy, but perhaps with titanium? As always, ultralight is king; no more than 4.5oz for the kit. Toaks is close, with a 2oz 7.5" plate (no handle) and a 2.3oz 700ml 4.5" pot (with handle), so it should be possible? Flatten the pot to 7.6" and put a handle on the plate? Or do it right and copy the Boy-Scout handle onto an 8" x 1.6" Pot and add a handle to a 8" x 0.5" fry-pan with an optional ultralight silicone-seal between them?

[@TurkeyDart]

Awesome vid as usual.

[@bagussaputro170]

Damn, simple gear but Great 🔥🔥🔥

[@justwalking1167]

Have you done any tent/shelter videos. I see plenty on tarps.

[@redfox242]

Hi. Thanks for a nice video. As usual fun with some personal opinions. How much calories do you burn per day? Awssome quality.

[@BurleyOutdoors]

Thanks for watching. As for calories. Depends on the trip. Last weekend I did a pretty hard day hike and my watch said 3500 calories burnt. Most full day or hard days are between 3000 to 4500. I used to geek out and count all my macros and calories. For shorter 2-4 day trips I don’t find that kind of prep needed. I hope that helps.

[@BrendanMcNamara]

Does your wind screen only work on alcohol stoves or would it be good for your classic iso-propane canister with cheapo burner? I'm looking at a few similar options online. Thanks

[@BurleyOutdoors]

It’s might work for that but the dimensions would not be quite ideal. I don’t think the bottom would hang down far enough. It also just holds onto the pot with light friction so if you raise it up off the ground and put the burner below it might keep falling off.

[@BrendanMcNamara]

@@BurleyOutdoors Thanks for the reply, I'll keep checking other options. Looking forward to watching more of your trips.

[@IAMGWH1]

@BrendanMcNamara Check out Flat Cat Gear, I think they have a windscreen line for canister stoves…good luck!😢

[@bengthammarberg4603]

Alcohol stove. Very traditional😁👍

[@bg26892]

How does the boiling water not tear through your ziplock?

[@BurleyOutdoors]

Not sure. I just pour it in the food. Never had a bag melt

[@patrickhutchins6935]

I use PGA, pure grain alcohol from the liquor store as fuel. Burns completely clean with no soot.

[@justcallmemario3013]

Which Zip Bags are you using?

[@BurleyOutdoors]

Quart size Ziplock brand bags.

[@maxplesh129]

Great video, Kyle! Is there an email that I can contact you at?

[@rgmALC]

What was the recipe you made?

[@BurleyOutdoors]

Its pesto ramen. Ramen brick, salt, oregano, garlic, pine nuts, dried tomatoes, parm, olive oil. I go over it in my detail during the "Henry Coe State Park Solo Backpacking " video.

[@rgmALC]

@@BurleyOutdoors ok cool, I just watched it. I’ve done something very similar, but with cous cous and sun dried tomato pesto. It’s like pizza pasta. And Italian seasoning.

[@justwalking1167]

When's the next vid?

[@BurleyOutdoors]

I should have one out this Friday if everything goes well this week.

[@justwalking1167]

@@BurleyOutdoors I've been binge watching all your vids. Really helpful for a newbie. Planning a Trinity Alps trip soon after seeing your past trips. I wish you'd show a little more camp set up or how you pick a location to make camp.

[@BurleyOutdoors]

I can try to do that some more on future videos. Most of the lakes in the Trinity Alps are going to have areas around them that are pretty obvious that some one has put up a tent there before. The two biggest things to look for are trying to find an area as flat as possible and with out a dead tree hanging over where your tent will be. When you say camp set up do you mean like how to set up the shelter?

[@justwalking1167]

@@BurleyOutdoors Yes. Like how you pitched it with rocks as anchors or how you choose locations. Again I'm only about half way through your vids so you may have done it in the past. Going to Henry Coe this weekend. 👍
