Gear, clothing, footwear, etc. are not one style works for all. Do as much research as you can, try out things in person if able, and make the best informed purchase decision for YOU. Do not buy gear just because it worked for, was showcased by, or recommended by someone on YouTube

Nov 2020 - Made a follow up video to this video answering some of the questions left in the comments as well as demoing boil times and some other general tips and tricks and such. You can check it out here https://youtu.be/bmDEkXTbIxs

Man I know this video is old but this is the system I was looking for without spending a ton of money.

Great take. Because I considered refuelling my gas canisters myself, I started diligently weighing them new, and then weighing them each time I used them. I was shocked to realise how few grammes of fuel I used during a camp. If you are going out for 3-4 days, boiling a bit of water and heating some noodles, your gas cannisters are going to last you ALL YEAR. A BRS 3000T and the smallest cannister you can find will easily see your right for multiple camps. Whilst I appreciate that some people might get units that are DOA (as did I when I bought my first Firemaple and one arm was bent) if you get sent a good unit it will stay good. Just remember its a tiny, fragile, light-weight camping stove, so treat it like its a little friend. Be gentle when you are assembling it, its mechanical integrity comes into play ONCE its fully assembled. DONT treat it like its a hob. If you take 2 litres of water in pan and slam it down on this thing, you will bend both IT, and probably deform the gas cannister underneath it. Do what THIS guy does... respect it, know its limitations and use a windbreak if required. The best compliment I can give the BRS 3000T is this: If I ever found the right sized capsule for it, I would wear it around my neck

Dude, love the straight forward simple approach. That's real world
-
I've been using the exact same setup for several years now. Can't beat it.
-
Thank's for a great review! The Toaks 750 ml up on my wishlist. Keep up the good work and safe hiking!
-
Same kit I been using. I love it. Work's great for me. Thanks for the great videos Chris. Learning a lot from you. Keep up the great work 👍
-
This is the first of your videos I've seen and subscribed under a minute like the no nonsense approach
-
This is my first video of yours that I’ve seen and I loved it. I hit Subscribe after under a minute.

I have this exact same cook kit, down to the mini Bic. This was my first kit, my go to when I go solo. Awesome!
-
Amen Chris! I've had all sorts of stoves including jetboils and other expensive options. I have gone back to a very similar set-up to you; Robens Fire Midge, a Kelly Kettle single skin pot/mug, titanium spoon and a fits in the pot gas can. Tiny, light and fuss-free👊🏼
-
I use the EXACT same setup. Love it. Super light and serves its purpose.
-
I have the Lixada version of that BRS stove. It cost me 11.99 on Amazon in 2017, its identical to the BRS. Mine has been faultless since 2017 and I have no reason to believe it won't be for a long time to come. A great buy.
-
That's absolutely great that you found the cook system that works for you. 👍

My last cook kit change was 3 years ago and I don't expect to make another one any time soon. I use a Toaks 750ml pot (same footprint as the 600 only taller). Inside I nest a Toaks 450 cup in a diy cozy. In that I have my alcohol stove, mini bic, 1oz fuel bottle, and a bandana. I love that setup. I keep my bigger fuel bottle in my pack's side pocket. I squeeze 1oz of fuel into my little bottle after cooking and I'm ready to go for next time. If temps are freezing or lower, I keep that little bottle on me at night so the fuel performs better in the morning.
-
Even if the lighter runs out of fuel you can still use it to spark the stove.
-
I have a kit for years, when MSR came out with the pocket rocket. That stove and their titanium kettle, a fuel canister and an MSR titanium tool spoon. Works fine, never let me down.
-
I’ve got pretty much the exact same set up and love it - no complaints what so ever.
-
My cook kit is pretty much same as yours- just a good no nonsense, no frills super light and compact setup. With mine, a tiny REI microfiber towel gets wrapped around the canister before nesting it in the Toaks. This is the same towel I'd use to dry the cook kit out and/or wipe a wet tent inside. Then the BRS stove and a mini bic lighter get wrapped up in the remainder of the mini towel, covered with the lid and put in the stuff sack. Doesn't rattle around, your whole kit including stove & spark is together in one container and the fragile BRS arms are protected from bending.

Most diplomatic review of all time 😆 not gonna recommend it, not gonna not recommend it. I love your channel!! I agree, find what works and use it 'til it doesn't. Great video. Thanks!
