Great set up and tips with the bag!

[@markmessick8691]

That is a great idea! I never thought of rehydrating the meal by putting it back into the pot. I have the 600ml Toaks pot. I will give it a try. Thanks for the tip.

[@JustinOutdoors]

No problem!

[@MattyOutdoors]

Nice setup! You weren't kidding when you said we had very similar setups, and props for doing your own dehydrated, its the best way to do it!

[@JustinOutdoors]

Ya man. Healthier, tastier (sometimes), and cheaper. Really is wins all around.

[@john_kelley]

Great setup. I have basically the same one....even the blue mini bic! Great idea with the freezer bag. I’m definitely going to use that one. Great video!

[@JustinOutdoors]

I just hate doing dishes!

[@ChaseMountains]

Thanks man! I'm not that keen on cold soaking because I like a coffee in the morning but this will be perfect. I have a kovea stove so should be a sweet combo with that 650ml pot for solo trips.

[@roberthammenrudh]

Great setup, I have more or less the same system but with the Evernew 500 pot! 👍🏻 works pefectly!

[@JustinOutdoors]

I've been testing out the Evernew 1000mL pasta pot recently and have to say, Evernew makes great gear.

[@SewGood]

Nice setup.. I love thay it all fits in the pot, -essential to any A+ kit!

[@JustinOutdoors]

I have a folding spoon that fits too but just love the long handle too much. It's a constant OCD vs practicality battle!

[@SewGood]

@@JustinOutdoors 🤣😁

[@BackcountryForward]

TheBestBackpacker I wonder if I bought this kit it’d be able to bring my grade up to a B+ backpacker! 😆

[@SewGood]

@@BackcountryForward 🤣😂

[@ItsGoodintheWoods]

Nice set up ! I have quite a few different setups , one of them is very similar to this one here . I use the freezer bags too ! great for not having to clean up that mess !

[@JustinOutdoors]

Not having to do dishes in when the backcountry is one of my favorite things!

[@ItsGoodintheWoods]

for sure !! Dishes are a time suck , especially when you're on the move

[@johngreenhow2645]

Slick setup

[@JustinOutdoors]

Like 4 youtubers all came out with a cook kit video this month with basically the exact same set-up. I guess it shows it works? haha

[@BackcountryForward]

Haha 3:35! Some solid advice! I find I make the most mistakes when I’m filming! Great vid

[@JustinOutdoors]

I feel like I just live in blissful ignorance of all the silly/weird things I do when not filming :P

[@martymorissette]

I have a very similar kit and it works great!

[@JustinOutdoors]

Are you part of the blue mini bic lighter crew too? Seems like everyone has a blue mini bic lighter!

[@martymorissette]

@@JustinOutdoors haha I have to admin I keep misplacing mine so it changes almost every trip lol. But lets start a thing.... From now on you can only have a blue mini Bic lighter if it's for your cook system! You should make it a patent! haha

[@BryceNewbold]

I have the toaks 650. Almost got the 750. Good video man. Beautiful backdrop... Canada?

[@JustinOutdoors]

The 750 JUST allows me to cook a meal in the pot, if needed. Still a tight fit though for the meals I eat. It is Canada! Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park. Beautiful spot for sure. You should come hike some trails up here some day!

[@20Hikecdt23]

Hey Justin, one study showed these stoves heat faster n are more efficient at medium setting-not all the way on n

[@louisbrailey8698]

MY GOD! you have hands of steal!

[@Love2Wander]

Nice kit i use 550ml pot for my solo kit

[@JustinOutdoors]

Nice! Titanium as well?

[@cyncole]

so compact! im trying to get my cook system dialed down for wct for 2p. im debating between soto windmaster or pock rocket deluxe and msr titan kettle vs evernew pasta pot..any experience with any of these?

[@JustinOutdoors]

Interesting that you ask! I have actually been eyeing the windmaster and evernew pasta pot; both might be purchases I make for next year. I really like the Pocket Rocket deluxe, but the windmaster gets a bit closer to the pot for cooking, which will help with wind attenuation. The difference is probably minimal though. I haven't looked at costs in Canada, but I have a feeling I may go for the pocket rocket deluxe in the end purely due to availability and price. Bother stoves have the great same design and seem rock solid. I think the evernew pasta pot blows the MSR titan kettle out of the water. Lighter, cheaper, snap on lid, and has rubberized handles. 1L capacity of the medium size may be cutting it close for 2 people though, since most meals will probably require 500mL or more per person. If you need more capacity, I'd consider one of the Toaks titanium pots over the MSR titan kettle.

[@cyncole]

Justin Outdoors Thanks for the quick reply! I went and ordered the Evernew on Amazon 🙈 I didn’t realize the MSR had no volume markers 🤷🏼‍♀️ Amazon.ca just dropped their price on the 1L pasta pot so that made the decision bit easier. Now onto stove hunting.. might have to wait for a sale at Atmosphere, I seen they are carrying the MSR prd!

[@JustinOutdoors]

MEC carries it too and will price match Atmosphere's sales! One of my favourite little cost saving tricks while still getting MEC's warranty.

[@NiCo-87]

You should not pour boiling water into a Ziploc bag. The high temperature can cause the material to break down and leech microscopic plastic particles into the food. While Ziploc bags are dioxin free, chlorine-free, and do not contain BPA, it's safer to avoid ingesting plastic particles on a regular basis.

[@TanukiParis]

Hi, does the handles of this pot can be remove ? i would try to put it on a vargo bot 700 for more convenience

[@JustinOutdoors]

Not easily!

[@dehints]

can you cook a rice in a titanium pot?

[@curlytop1716]

How do you dehydrate your own food? What do you use?

[@JustinOutdoors]

I use an excalibur dehydrator!

[@jackvoss5841]

Well thought out. A piece of aluminum foil as a windshield might be worth the weight? Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

[@NADRIGOL]

The Vargo BOT has a screw on lid... Would let you ditch the cozy, but I don't know how the weights compare.

[@JustinOutdoors]

I've definitely looked at the BOT before. It is a sweet little device and weight isn't bad at 138g for the 700mL one. The cost is the tough one for me. In Canada, it costs $150!

[@NADRIGOL]

@@JustinOutdoors it's on massdrop right now for $85usd after shipping. Whether that works out as a deal will depend if you get hit with customs coming over the border. I have been lucky with massdrop so far. Could also price match amazon's 130 at mec. You're right though, much more expensive.

[@20Hikecdt23]

I put my bag on a cozy.

I’m so happy you changed your hat.

The Tilley is not going anywhere!

[@BackcountryForward]

Justin Outdoors not the Tilley, the brown one with the bear! It’s good to keep your wardrobe fresh!

[@BillKim1]

Isn't that 9.4 cm?

[@JustinOutdoors]

Yup! It's 94.mm inner diameter. I posted text with the correct diameter in the top left corner of the video during that bit.

[@mcgriddle552]

No wind screen ??? Im sorry that makes very little sense.

[@JustinOutdoors]

No wind screen for me! I fine it easy enough to find natural cover or use my food bag and pack as a windscreen.

[@mcgriddle552]

@@JustinOutdoors they are very easy and cheap to make and save a lot of fuel, but hile your own hike, you know what works best for you :)
