My MONSTER Cook Kit

[@camt1818]

I work at REI and was showing a customer the toaks 750 pot. Right as I said "too bad that lid doesnt snap on" they turned it upside down and it stayed put. Too my surprise, just that one on the shelf was slightly bent or out of shape enough to just barely snap on. He was sold immediately haha.

[@c3920]

Perfect cook kit for a one night is stopping by Subway before I hit the trail. No cooking, no cleanup, and no weight on the way back. Even comes in its own trash bag!

[@m.hernandez1404]

Good point!

[@fauge7]

Subway is garbage. Plenty of other better sub spots.

[@DanBecker]

Fact!

[@Joeblk10]

The big drawback though is you have to eat subway with their fake bread and questionable cuts.... So Idk lol

[@elizabeth4053]

I live in Alaska. We’ve had wildfires a lot recently. So I adjusted by grabbing a Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme when heading out before getting to the wilderness. And a sub for the first lunch or dinner whilst setting up camp. It makes life easier. The trash gets thrown in a gallon baggie in the bear canister to cut down on food smells. Bears are big here 🐻😂💕🏕️

[@donaldshingler9874]

I absolutely love your channel. My wife and I recently started backpacking and using advice from you and other youtubers we've been able to build out our packs nicely and on a budget and keep our base weight under 20lbs each.

[@DanBecker]

Glad to hear it!

[@russelljackman1413]

The Soto Amicus stove on Amazon shows at $48.95 (NOT $84.00, like the MSR, which, by the way has been reduced to $75.15, as of 01/10/2024) The Soto Windmaster stove (my personal favorite) shows at $64.99 (regular $69.99). I'll stick with my Windmaster; it has been a GREAT stove, with no problems, regarding the igniter! Another GREAT video, Dan!!! Thanks for all you do and all you are! Happy Trails, my friend!

[@gmarrese91]

I absolutely agree with you, the wind master, is an incredible stove!

[@christophmichel3380]

and if you choose the Triflex for Windmaster it is much lighter than Pocket Rocket Deluxe.

[@gmarrese91]

@@christophmichel3380 cool- I just bought the triflex also because it’s so much easier to pack in a pot can’t wait to try it

[@VishnuK-mz3oq]

@russelljackman1413 is the windmaster same footprint? Making sure it fits in the toaks 750ml.

[@tubulzr]

Strictly water boiling here also. For my hikes I use a 750 alu pot (+wobbly lid) which fits a gas canister and a MSR Pocketrocket 2 stove, true to it's name. Plus I use a foldable plastic tripod for the canister for stability and also a piece of 'extra strong version/ribbed' household alu foil (with double folded edges for some extra strength) as a windscreen or protection for inside-tent cooking. The alu can be folded/reused many times and also quite small for packing. I'm amazed when seeing people prepare meals with fresh ingredients, on a trangia burner, filet mignon in mushroom-pepper sauce and sautéed asparagus and all. Usually at the end of the day, I'm famished, almost counting the minutes of my just hydrated meal and I have to tell myself to actually let it hydrate properly. Still too much other stuff on my 'nice to have' hike gear list, to consider a titanium pot...

[@Jcs1aughter]

My cook kit consist of the Stanley 700 ml pot, a 14oz gsi outdoor mug, BSR stove, and a tea strainer for my coffee, all of which plus fuel fits inside the stanley. It may weigh twice as much as other kits all together but its all tough and cost me about $50 all together.

[@Pclab101]

Try the lid from the Stanley cook kit! Yes, the lid is stainless, but it fits well and the weight difference is minimal. The strainer in the lid is far better than others. Granted, I do replace the plastic lid tab in the middle of the lid with a tiny keyring.

[@LoreTunderin]

Can't wait to see how you cook Frankenstein

[@jadenm]

Others have mentioned the GSI Minimalist (which often goes on sale for ~$29 vs normal price of $35). I use this cook system and found that it is the best for those who just want to boil water for themselves. It is so versatile and lightweight. Ive used mine for 5 years now and haven’t found a better cook for system. It comes with a silicon grip handle which works great. Ive never burned myself using it. It also has a coozie which is great for handling the pot and keeping hot drinks hot when its cold. The lid it comes with can be used to sip or as a lid for boiling water by simply turning the lid upside down so it fits loosely. I highly recommend this cookset! Its the only piece of gear that i have not upgraded or replaced because it has lasted so long and imho, i havent seen a better replacement.

[@bcamping1]

Same, no desire to replace it. I have others, but when on long distance hiking, it always comes with me.

[@soonerfrac4611]

Everyone knows the old adage about ounces, pounds and pain but at point there’s diminishing returns. Sometimes just having better food, gear or whatever just makes the experience better. I remember listening to a podcast discussing backpacking elk hunts and one of the guys was incredibly weight conscious to the point that all of his meals were drinkable in a protein shake mixer. Didn’t take a stove of any kind, he viewed it all as calories intake. By the end of the 6 day hunt his partner who was telling the story says that he noticed the weight conscious guy was watching his every bite. Instead he had packed mountain house, instant potatoes, and even ramen noodles. Yeah, he had to carry all the extra weight but he felt better, slept better and had better emotional energy.

[@wyattroncin941]

if buddy thinks he can save weight by drinking all his meals he needs a lesson in nutrition. that's pretty much the worst way to go.

[@joshwilcox8941]

I really appreciate vids like this! Getting "Coffee with Carl" vibes

[@scout06171]

I liked the video. I’m a sucker for more efficient cooking stuff. BTW, The reason the Toaks weighs almost as much as the Soto is due to the aluminum handles and bracket on the Toaks. The Soto titanium pot will need either handles or the coozy with some sort of claw handle because the titanium will convey heat better than aluminum. I’d bet the Soto pot with coozy and handle is going to be heavier than the Toaks pot. I think if Soto sold just the top more folks would buy that item. I know I would. But I’m not paying $38 for a plastic top. That’s something only rich Dudes like Dan can afford.

[@PattiemanNL]

True but 38 for a top and a coozy maybe 😇?

[@coreyvirgil2025]

That's a lot of stuff to buy just to basically recreate the GSI Minimalist which you can pick up for 35 bucks. It also includes a much better pot grabber that I actually prefer over handles. The one advantage this setup has is packability. With the GSI set, the lid won't quite go on snug when I put my pocket rocket deluxe in. Other stoves fit fine, the PRD is just a big stove.

[@rockymountboy]

Great tip!

[@fusioncon]

After watching an older video of yours, have been using the Toaks pot and Soto stove for all the reasons you mentioned in both that and this video, but have still been using the original Toaks lid and securing it in my pack with that orange Toaks sack, which then doubles as my throw bag for bear hangs, has worked out great, can't imagine changing this setup...

[@Greghikes1]

Still love my BRS stove, toaks LIGHT 550mm pot with mini bic . (+aluminum foil for lid) Used for 6000+km no problem, & the most ultralight option for canister system. 90g not incl gas.

[@501Hasie]

I love the stanley pot, it bomb proof, intergrated handle that keeps the lid secure, its aluminum though.

[@jerryfife2015tacoma]

Oh man I got to laughing so hard when you asked Alexa a question about the 18 grams and at the same time I'm sitting here next to my Alexa and it heard you ask your Alexa and they both went off at the same time and was talking and saying the same thing, that was funny🤣. Great video

[@squirrel_82]

Same

[@runhellman]

I found a silicone sipper lid that fits my Toaks 550. LOVE IT! It stays firmly on so I can use it as a lid when I store my canister in the pot. Unfortunately the company I bought it from (Riveted Oaks designs) doesn’t make anymore.

[@SJSCHOCH]

yeah this^. Recently saw setup this on My Life Outdoors (I think???) who I think noticed this from Justin. The collapsible Sea to Summit silly-cone mug fits on my Toaks - yet I am still using a rubberband.

Hey Dan! Sorry to bum you out, but Soto came out with the titanium pots recently, and they’re THE lightest on the market. They also come with lids and a pot grabber. I know you were excited about your cookset, but you’re gonna have to replace it with this 😂

[@tbheady73]

Ohhhhhhh… monster COOK! I totally misread that headline! Lololol 😂😂😂

[@twinartifact263k3]

I started off with the jet boil and I now have a small little stove in the same pot as you and a gas canister and I personally find it to be the best set up as the taste of less space and is significantly lighter than a jet boil

[@rw3035]

Speaking of which, the lid on the jetboil micromo does not stay on either, which sucks

[@knutolsen5163]

Different trips require different cook kits. Long marches with a light pack and for just boiling water, I go for the MSR Pocket rocket or the MSR Reactor. For fishing trips or basecamp I go for a bigger burning head like the MSR Windpro. If it's cold you have to use a multifuel like the MSR Whisperlite. I myself have more than 20 different burners. It's crazy but can't think of selling a single one of them.

[@valstarkgraf]

I don't care about weight, I vanlife so I'm in the camp with the vanlifers, overlanders, car campers, and teardrop community who loves the Stanley Two-Cup cookset nesting with an Ozark Trails stainless steel cup with the butterfly handles. For your money, that is the best buy system because you get the full cookset plus a mug, a straining lid that fits both and locks on the cook kit for about $20. It's the perfect thing for a cup of coffee or tea on the go if weight isn't a deal breaker.

[@jtm2400]

Most fuel efficient setup is Jetboil Stash pot with a Sotowindmaster totaling 7.4 oz. There is a Reddit thread with someone doing testing

[@dork1963]

Jetboil stash pot with MSR Deluxe Maybe a bit heavier 🤷

[@calebscott4817]

I was experimenting with the toak mug and I actually really love the soto setup. I would probably bring both as I do love a mug but that handle always heats up pretty good when I'm pulling it off the stove (though titanium can lose heat like nothing else, really incredible stuff). I think Soto actually just started to sell their lid separately but I got their full kit and I love it. The pot grabber is really nice and it comes with an insulated sleeve which I love so that I can boil my water and then insulate it and add my food to that the titanium doesn't lose all that heat as fast. Because the toaks lid really does suck unfortunately.

[@eric55406]

I have a 650ml Toaks for ultralight trips, and an OLICAMP Hard Anodized XTS Pot, 1-Litre pot with the heat transfer fins for trips when I want to prioritize faster boil times and fuel efficiency. Pick your favorite stove. Any long handle spoon will do.

[@Lv4_o2]

[@Eunegin23]

Still using my grandfather's cookset. Used during the war. He walked thousends of kilometers with it in the Soviet Union (and the weight of the pot was the smallest of his problems...). When it breaks, I'll think of a new one. But it probably won't.

[@arcticradio]

Been using the Coleman F1 lite 4800W 77g stove with Toaks 750ml titanium pot for a while now. I think at 4800W it was the most powerful stove for its size. The Coleman F1 has been in use for over 10 years now. It’s so small you can fit it in palm of your hand and close your hand.

[@MattVHulst]

Fire maple petrel paired with the fire maple green peak stove offers pretty much everything you're looking for here with the exception of being titanium. I'm extremely happy with the setup

[@sha6mm]

I am happy with my Toaks 750 and Titanium spork and BRS stove .

[@nathanlockhart3876]

Hey Dan, I highly recommend the BRS3000 stove. It’s 26 grams, cost $20, and you can find it at garage grown gear. My personal cooking setup is the Vargo 700ml bot (has a screw on top that doesn’t leak), the brs3000t, and the fuel canister. All 3 together weigh .79 oz

[@gavanmitchell9095]

I have one of those stoves. Very small and super light! But found it a bit unstable. That, and when it comes to wind performance, simmer settings or fuel efficiency it falls behind a number of other stoves. I ended up grabbing a Soto Windmaster. The extra weight is worth it I reckon.

[@theblackneon5396]

I had this sort of serendipity with my OG GSI Halulite Minimalist lid and a 750ml titanium pot I just got :D it weighs an ounce more than your lid there, but it's a backpacking sippy cup lol and again lol, I weighed my Halulite pot against titanium and went "welp" so, TIL, locktite the screw holding the igniter on my new Amicus...

First a question for you: Have you tried the FlipFuel Fuel Transfer Device yet? I'd really like to know what you think of it! Same here Dan, I just cook water. My cookware line up: Toaks 750mm titanium pot. I have to rubber band the lid anyway, the pot gets packed so tight with stuff, even a tight fitting lid would pop off. Toaks long handle, smooth bowl, titanium spoon -- sans carabiner. Pocket Rocket 2 -- w/o Piezo Igniter. I carry a Bic lighter anyway. Then I clip on a small aluminum windbreak. Finally, I wrap my camp rag around the inside of the pot to keep things from rattling around in there. There's not much more annoying than having something clanking inside the pack.

[@David-e1b3t]

On that missing screw... Bring your stove to a hardware store with open bins of screws. Randomly try various small metric stainless steel machine screws, till you find the correct thread pitch and diameter (it will screw in the old threaded hole, nicely). If it is too long, careful work with pliers, a grindstone and a tin of cooling water will fix that excess length.

Great video! Always enjoy your work and appreciate your POV. For just boiling water, I've been using the Jetboil Stash mostly. The fluxring makes it super efficient and it's very space efficient. I have too many stoves and pots in my collection so it's been surprising that the stash has gotten the most use this past year

[@tommanseau6277]

Hard anodized aluminum pots are frequently overlooked, which is a shame. They’re, as Dan just showed, right about the same weight, frequently cost less, and distribute heat better. That means if you cook in them, they’re less likely to burn your food. Part of that is your stove, but there’s a reason companies have been making hard anodized aluminum pots for decades and getting top dollar for them.

[@DanBecker]

Great points! I’ve read they cook more evenly. It’s been so long since I’ve cooked food in them though!

[@lanceshaw4421]

No handles on the aluminum pot, not sure how much but they do weigh something

[@richardbostiga846]

I’m a retired aerospace engineer. When I first saw the thermal conductivity of titanium I thought it was a typo, it’s so incredibly low. I found out that it’s such a poor conductor that it’s sometimes used as an insulator to cut down on heat flow between two parts

[@DanBecker]

Thanks for the info!

[@christophersiano969]

My setup is very similar. I use the BOT 1 liter titanium with the screw-on lid. I wrap the canister in a small bandana to reduce the rattle and prevent rust stains on the pot. (the rim of the canister always seems to rust a little.) Stove is some Ti Pocket Rocket knockoff that has worked fine for several years now. The extra height of the pot fits my flexible spork (no idea on the brand - something I grabbed at Hilton Tent City years ago and it's still in one piece) I also keep some heavy aluminum foil for a wind block and a mini Bic lighter. Why? Always felt the igniter on the stove would fail - never has. But I've used the Bic many times to get a fire started in challenging conditions. Yea, it's a bit more weight, but it's pretty much bomb proof. The bandana allows me to screw the lid on or off on those really windy days were you fear (and sometimes predict) the pot is going to blow off the stove. I'm still looking for a spoon that is long enough to reach into the bottom corners of a mountainhouse pouch without your hand getting icky, but somehow collapse to fit into my pot. It's the one missing link.

[@memathews]

The value of a long spoon is keeping our icky hands out of the glorious food we shovel into our mouths. Remember The Oregon Trail constant: you died of dysentery (short sporks).

Titanium is heavier than aluminum and weaker than steel. It just has a good weight to strength ratio. In instances where strength isn't necessary aluminum is a lighter and cheaper option.
