I think you're the 1st on KZbin to show this! Thanks! I was in the market for a camp cookset anyway! I only found them on REI. (Haven't shown up on Amazon yet as of 7/7/24) I love what they have done with the new version! That slight increase in size greatly improves this product! I ordered this new one, the 14-Piece Wildfare Go Two Bowl Prep & Cook Set and the Wildfare Core 7" Saucepan Cookset. The new Wildfare Saucepan's are tri-ply bonded stainless-steel which will help with evenly distribute heat and overall cooking experience!

[@BrekRND]

Is it 3 layers on the bottom, or all over on the new pots?

[@pitstop_calvin]

@@BrekRND The triply only applies to the Core 7" Saucepan Cookset and the whole pan is triply, not just the bottom.

[@BarnYardOutdoors]

No. Only on the fry pans that I have seen so far.

[@BarnYardOutdoors]

The Square Pan is Tri-Ply. Only on the bottom.

[@garryruggiero3559]

The best way to use the Stanley cook set pot on any stove .I use a shower drain grate and it works perfectly in all applications

[@pamelaklemp5615]

That's a brilliant idea 💡 👏. I've been using a LODGE CAST IRON Trivet. Works great for taming the flames for more even cooking BUT it's heavy for backpacking needs. YOUR IDEA 💡 IS MUCH BETTER AND MUCH APPRECIATED.

[@KentuckyWoodsman]

I had no idea Stanley had upgraded this cookset! Very nice! Thanks for sharing the info!

[@sherriwilson8120]

Interesting but I will keep using the old version. Not spending money on something I don't want or need. Thanks for the information, will keep what you have said in mind.

[@joetrippi7356]

aww, man, just when I swore to myself no more gear for a while....

[@snickerdoodle7188]

Just bought this on REI after watching your video. I loved the old set but the bottom was a little small for some stoves. The new lid is an improvement but I had no problem with the old lid tab. The new stove does sit better on small stoves. I like how they changed the color of the cups to a lighter green to tell them apart. Thanks again for posting this video, you are ahead of everyone......even AMAZON.

[@BarnYardOutdoors]

Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@alf3553]

That new Stanley looks great, my old version has served me well over the years. I believe the mark inside the old green cup is “one cup”. I guess the Green Cup Club is outdated now 😂

[@BarnYardOutdoors]

I am sure the diehard members of the Green Cup Club will still be around. That being said, we will have to get ready for the Sage Cup Club. Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@pamelaklemp5615]

UPDATE: MY BAD, IT IS 8 OZ AT THE INSIDE MEASUREMENT MARK (JUST TO CLARIFY THAT). 6 ounces at the marker line. How do I know this, pray tell... I challenged my husband about it and HE WON 🏆, 6 ounces on the dot at the marker 😂.

[@johnvidal70]

@@pamelaklemp5615 Your husband lied to you, it is 8 ounces to the line the full cup is 10 ounces.

[@pamelaklemp5615]

@@johnvidal70 I just did a full-on measure and OOPS IT IS 8oz at the fill line! I forgot I had put a marker line on the other side (inside) to measure for my Mini Rice Cooker!!! He, of course, didn't know about that and used it for the measurement. My bad. He just showed me my Rice measurement line, 😆. Poor dear, gotta love 💘 his heart ❤ , 👍.

[@scetis]

I’ve been waiting years for them to come out with a new addition with a new tab on the lid… Great news! Thanks so much for posting.

[@Rob_outdoorz]

Thanks for sharing, I had no idea there was a gen 2. I definitely gotta get one. Great video!

[@cnybanditoutdoors]

I have the original one... It was my first in the Stanley series... I bought several more... Finally found my favorite and most versatile ( for me anyways) in the Mountain Series Compact cookset. This is the first thing I have seen about an updated version of the original! Thank you for sharing!

[@carmenmartinez2882]

Nice! But I have a couple of the older ones back when it was very inexpensive, I carry a small square bushcraft grill and set it on top of stoves to stabilize the pot if needed. This and the Stanley french press go to most of my camping trips. Fitting the Nalgene bottle doesn’t matter to me because I go for several weeks at a time, need more water and at 67 I don’t backpack anymore. I think you’re the first reviewing this, thanks. 👍🏻

[@disabledarmyveteran]

I just ordered the new Stanley two cup cookset. I have used the old style for many years now but always wanted it a little larger and now Stanley has built one. I am liking the new two cups also for coffee and coco or cool aid style beverages. The double wall cups work great with hot liquids or hot soups or really anything else that’s hot you could cook.

[@peterevans8194]

Excellent review and well done to Stanley for improving an old favourite. It's actually nice to see a MK2 item that is a genuine improvement over the original, and not a thinly disguised cost cutting exercise...

[@Badger77722]

Thanks for the comparison! The old Stanley has been a go-to pot for years - glad to know that the design team there paid attention to cares/concerns/suggestions from customers, and seem to have made some really nice improvements! EDIT: Weird. Amazon has the old 2 cup cookset, the new 2 cups set, the new 2 bowl prep & cook set - but not the new 2 cup cookset!

[@billy348]

The simple theroy stove matchup is sweet.

[@miconn69]

Love this Stanley. I burned my leg with scalding water due to that old style narrow bottom not resting securely on a stove. This newer one is going to be great! Only thing I can think to make it hetter would be changing to butterfly handles.

[@barbaradavis9125]

Finally a fellow Nebraskan. Thanks for the info on Stanley.

[@francoloma2971]

Great review, thank you for showing that the nalgene will fit in this. Blackie Thomas demonstrated that the old Stanley two cup mostly fits the Grayl GeoPress water filter, so this larger version will be perfect for the GeoPress as a cookset. Awesome combo!

[@emmaeynon7171]

Ooh I do like the look of the new version! Thanks for sharing!

[@Magoo652]

The tapered small base is the originals only niggle, but great on a twig stove. Thank you for sharing👍

[@michaelbrunner6654]

I have used my old one alot. Still doing a great job.

[@tomh7331]

Thank you Barnyard Outdoors and Thank you Stanley. I love it.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Looks like a great upgrade! 👍✌️

[@ramonjimenez3315]

Thanks for the review. I just used my Stanley Adventure 2Cup Cookset last week over a hammock camping trip. It worked great as always. I've had it for more than 7 years now. I normally do the cooking when we are camping or on a day hike so my wife didn't really cook with it. This last trip, she used it and love it, especially the green cups. Now this new product is going to be a game changer. I may just buy it.

[@kellyroseki4jav]

I seen this set recently on their website. Looked for a video but didn’t find one. Happy your video popped up today! I have the older version and the cups are 10oz it’s wrote on the bottom of them. So I’m curious as to what the size of the new ones are and if it’s on the bottom as well. 😁

[@dwaynestewart6095]

well now, I was actually going to go to REI today. now I know what I'm going to hunt down. thanks for the heads up. Dwayne

[@frederickharris4025]

I have the old cook set and Nalgene once made a stainless steel bottle that fit the old set perfectly. rhanks for the info about thr new set

[@williamfosnaugh3293]

A fuel canister if you turn it upside down fits perfectly in the old one, with stove and nested in a cup. I took this set up on many backpacking trips. in the new one, it will rattle, and it doesn't set all the way into the nesting cup.

[@agesadventures]

That's awesome that they've upgraded it! The upgrades make so much sense too! I'm going to have to get a set like this once I can find it in Canada.

[@mrhalfstep]

This kit is even cooler now. Turn your gas canister upside down and it will go to the bottom. That move and the fact that the bottom of the gas tank is concave will open up some meaningful extra storage space above the tank.

[@EddieLindsay681]

I found this set earlier this year myself and love the small changes they made.

[@DavidRoush1689]

Exactly the review I needed, perfect comparison! Thanks for this, dudio!

[@Danny.D93]

Been looking for this version! Thanks for showing!

[@hokudadog7637]

You are awesome! Just ordered this, thank you!

[@amandamiller94]

Will the older model fit inside the newer model

[@georgerector9252]

Nalgene makes a 32 oz ss backpacker water bottle that is tapered to fit the original Stanley Adventure 2 cup cookset. And the GSI cup will nest the complete set.

[@onlyinparadise4613]

Thank you 🙏 great review

[@clivedunning4317]

Like lots of others, I thought this product was discontinued a couple of years ago. Great, will get one as soon as I can source one. Thanks for your video.

[@user-neo71665]

I wish they would sell it without the 2 plastic cups. I would ditch those and use the rest with my GSI cup in my bottle bag. Question, how does the new lid fit on a GSI cup?

[@EatCarbs]

Nice improvements... not sure I want to buy a new set when I rarely use the one I have. Thanks for the video brother

[@karinhart489]

I have the older version of the 2 bowl camp kit. Looking forward to your review on that new one.

[@enriquediaz7547]

I noticed the new boxing…. But didn’t know it had changes! Cool!

[@benterwellen]

Great review on a new piece of kit, I will be looking for it…

[@Zeebob77]

Thanks for the review. I'd seen the Wildfare Go set on the Stanley website and elsewhere but not much in the way of commentary about it. The Adventure set used to sell for around $15 at Walmart, one of it's attractive selling points, but now sells elsewhere for $25. The Wildfare set sells for $20. So, an improved set for a 20% less. Thanks again.

[@jamesmcgee2447]

Many thanks for this info , I really like the original set but going to track one of these down. 👍🏻👍🏻🔥

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Interesting. I love camping, so I'll check it out! Thank you.😊

[@michaeldifrancesco2364]

Great review I found on REI a couple a weeks ago I love it I have the old model to thank you for your input

[@allanpeterson2364]

Take a dremel tool and cut off a 1/16" to an 1/8" inch off each end of the handle nibs, makes taking the handle off MUCH easier and still locks fine when using the push lock piece.

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

It appears they designed it to nest around a Nalgene (smart), but in order to take advantage of that capability the handle needs to be removed for storage. I would have expected a design for easy removal 🤷‍♂️

[@pamelaklemp5615]

A lot more functional with the new size and lid design. That you can now put a full-on Nalgene Bottle into it is a huge improvement! HOME RUN STANLEY 🎉🏃‍♂️

[@scrapperstacker8629]

Great improvement!!

[@drakeface]

New to these little sets but saw that the old version wasn't available through Stanley (atm? or any longer?) Anyways, I assumed the new version would be inferior--glad to see it actually has some improvements! Thanks for the review.

[@oxxnarrdflame8865]

I really like the new version.

[@CheezeheadChris]

I dont need another cook set! But dammit! If looks like ill be getting another one! Nice price at $20. After a quick web search, it looks like this new one is only available are REI, for now. Thank for letting us know.

[@willyfarr]

Great video! I gotta have it!

[@gunterbecker8528]

Is it that much of an improvement from the older design to make it worth considering changing it, don't think so I'm happy with what I have, it served me well all those years!

[@dustoff499]

Great comparison. I’m sorta fond of the original though.

[@Adventure_Coffey]

Great job man

[@jd7713]

Does this new pot sit on Trangia stove? The base on the old one is too narrow to fit. Thanks for the review.

[@markperry222]

Nice review. Question. Can you nest a small gas cannister into the new larger cups?

[@mauriciohzamora4105]

Great new version. Do you happen to have the sku for it? Cheers

You beat me to it.... 😄

[@tracker5849]

Whooohooo...my nalgene goes inside...love that. Maybe my Stanley thermos will go in

[@bravado86]

While it's thoughtful that the Nalgene bottle now nests, you still can't close the handle. Was the purpose to double-boil the (stainless) bottle, will you just have the handle out all the time while packed, or will you do the reverse handle hack I've seen done?

[@willisblevins4190]

Nice one

it is a good set to use

[@Lapeerphoto]

NICE!!

Finally!

[@railwaystationmaster]

OH for a Titanium version , only then it would be NEW and AWESOME.

[@carmenmartinez2882]

Bestargot has a very similar titanium version 900 ml. You can fit a french press insert if you want to and it fits. I love my Stanley as well since that was one of the first pieces I got together with a Walmart cup stacked under it.

[@greywolfoutdoors]

I wonder if the gsi backpaker mug would fit inside the new version?

[@isawthelight]

How is the quality compared? The new one looks almost like a brushed stainless finish. Is the gauge the same?

[@donaldpang]

It seems nice to be able to insert a Nelgene bottle into the new pot but you can’t fold the handle back on top. Not going to boil the Nelgene or put the pot into the backpack

[@danlibby8366]

what is the name of that cool stove?? the one that nests on the bottom.

[@BarnYardOutdoors]

That is the Simple Theory Gear Stove. It is currently out of production…..but I have heard a rumor from a trustworthy source that it will be coming back to the market.

[@RickMunday]

What was the stove that was made to work with the cook set? Somehow that completely escaped me knowing about it.

[@BarnYardOutdoors]

That is the Simple Theory Gear Stove. Unfortunately it went out of production a few years back…..but….i have it from a credible source that it will be coming back soon.

[@RickMunday]

@@BarnYardOutdoors Sorry I meant to reply back I saw farther down where somebody else didn't ask the same question. Totally my bad. I always like that cook set other than the weight. The titanium in that height and that narrow would just be completely inefficient.

Yes it does.

[@BarnYardOutdoors]

Yes it can.

Didn’t the GSI cup for around the previous one? I wonder if it fits on the new one.

Yes. It fits on the original and the new one.

depending on where you're going to store/carry any possible combination with this new kit did you know Nalgene now have a 48 oz/1500 ml wide mouth Tritan bottle same diameter as 32 oz just taller I only discovered it by chance here in UK

[@BarnYardOutdoors]

I do too. It looks like a nice setup, but I am not a fan of the price of that set. They don’t have any local to me, but I did find one at a Scheels Sporting Goods that I will be near next week. If I pick one up, there will be a review. Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@1aview]

Ya just under 100 shipped with tax from stanley. I went with the new round 8in its similar to old but handle flips to hold the new steel lid on instead of under. And just a plastic cover . Once seasoned it cooks nicely. I have the original adventure cup too with the 32oz taperd nalgene steel bottle. But recently picked up the boil & brew French press.and if i could figure out how not to break the screen with a bottle id total replace my old cup! I believe its still slightly bigger than v2 of the new cup. Max fill is 32oz with room to boil

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

ahh man...not available in Canada yet

Hopefully you will get it up there soon. I really like the changes they made and appreciate it when a company improves products such as this one. Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@lawrencefieselman3803]

With the original Stanley Cook Pot you should insert the fuel canister upside down and it fits much better. The marking on the green cup indicates that's the "one cup" mark. What difference does it make if, with the new pot, you can nest a Nalgene bottle if you can't fold the handle?

[@OverMagnet]

What's the zippered case you have your Simple Theory Gear stove in?

[@BarnYardOutdoors]

That is a Condor Tactical Field Pouch. a.co/d/0iotGIfb

[@THCone]

Nesting a Nalgene- or any bottle in either pot- is a moot feature b/c there no way to stow the handle.

[@BarnYardOutdoors]

You can remove the handle and slide it in the pot between the bottle and pot wall. I demo that near the end of the video.

[@THCone]

@@BarnYardOutdoors I saw. Still doesn't change the fact u can't stow the hande. Removing the handle to make it work is analogous to taking apart a stove to make it fit inside a pot. There are plenty of pots that can nest a Nalgene w/o disassembling the pot. Simply put, this is a poorly designed product IF the intention is to be a nesting pot. What I mean is, Stanley could have very easily used a different handle design if they wanted to toute Nalgene nesting as a fearure. Thanks for hearing me out

[@BarnYardOutdoors]

@THCone that makes perfect sense. I see your point, folding butterfly handles (or some other type) would be better for a nesting cookset setup.

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

@THCone, Fair point. I wonder if that’s an intentional feature or just coincidental? One thing I like about the handle it has (as with the old model) is that you can lock the handle closed over the lid and string some wire through to hang it over a fire like a small bush pot.
