it's wild that i could make a passable sushi while camping. apparently rice and cukes dehydrate very well. i basically got a lifetime supply of nori some years ago due to a shipment meant for a sushi restaurant with the same address.

so basically you put hot water in one side. put your espresso in the middle - then the little circle thing pops out like a button and you pump it through into the little cup thing. it's all in one pretty easy to use once you figure it out. it like all unscrews.

It's a stainless steel filter on the bottom of a ss straw. You add the grounds to the water, like in a French press. But instead of pressing and pouring, you drink right from that. The straw filters out the grounds. Works best with a coarser, French press grind vs an espresso grind.

OK, fuck that Jetboil. I followed the instructions to the letter and the shit melted on me the second time I used it, burned the shit out of my hand with molten plastic too. That was with no wind or anything too. Weird thing is there's no sign of burning at the bottom of the sleeve, it seems like the heat actually came through the pot.

Should rephrase, there ARE some signs at the bottom (you can see that in the pic) but there are also melted areas that don't have signs below them.

Anyway I returned it for a more traditional setup. Was cheaper and a lot more versatile anyway, and it's hard to argue with Made in Japan.

I love everything about my trangia except how much room it takes in my bag. I've tried to take it apart and remove stuff I don't need but in the end you will always need the wind protecting sides and the thingy where the burner sits. Those two take up bulk of the size.

yeah, it kinda sucks that the trangia can't really be packed down smaller. i ended up using it to store shit like an altoids tin of fire starters, a lighter, various bags, half sponge, etc. then i zip it all into the hardshell case they sell and pack it vertically.

Basically the same for me. Foldacups, utensils, sponge.
Might splurge on a gas stove and just carry one of the "pans" of the trangia; once money isn't so tight.

i also carry some stuff in the medium size cooler from ultralite sacks. that guy is pretty chill. anyway it also doubles as a way to rehydrate food and to store electronics and shit overnight. i'd say about 20% of my backpack's main pocket is dedicated to cooking and cooking accessories. it's an old kelty so it holds a lot. not great, no bad, considering the alternatives seem to be cat can anon's setup, or an annoying-ass gas canister setup.

>wood has almost exactly half the energy density as alcohol and a third the density of propane/oil.
wood also has 10-20% of water by weight even if it's dry weather, which not only cuts the useful weight but also makes you waste energy to boil it off, not to mention the additional expedniture getting the fire going

I mean, if you are moto camping, you could get by with a cheap kids school lunch bag. Probably keep things just as cold as dynema and what I'm assuming is windshield reflector material.

That's a reasonable enough reason for me too, especially since they aren't a crazy amount of money. I'm just paranoid as hell about food spoilage and want something to make me more confident in raw sausage etc. (maybe even eggs) that have been away from a fridge since I left home the previous day, while not taking up a ton of space in my 39l U-shaped saddlebag or getting condensation on my other stuff.

How do you guys clean your pot assuming you're not cooking next to water?
If I carry some sponge or rag then I just end up with a dirty rag after the first use that I have to clean somehow.
Gathering moss or dry grass is time consuming and you never get the pot fully scrubbed.
I found carrying paper towels works best but they're a limited use item and then you still have to dispose of the dirty towel somehow.

You could probably cut one out of 1 or 2 beer cans, but they're like 1-3 dollars on aliexpress with free shipping.
It's a bit of a lottery though, some offers say titanium in the title but stainless steel in the description and have pictures of 3 different products. Also check the height because there are lower ones meant for smaller stoves.
This is what I have specifically, 2 pieces with knobs and holes and the Lixada logo cut out.

Stainless would do the job good enough. The grams gained going from sheet stainless to sheet titanium is so miniscule compared to what my trangia weighs.

I want to get a dutch oven for camping, but what size should I get? I mostly camp by myself or maybe with 1 other guy. But I do sometimes camp with large groups so I would like to be able to cook for like 8+ people if I can. But I need to be able to cook for myself + 1 other person

What is the LARGEST size I can get that will still let me cook for only 1-2 people?

On that note, minor protip, these kind of lighters are great for the job. Sportsman's Warehouse has them in the checkout area but you can probably find similar ones at a smoke shop or something. Barely takes up more room than a regular Bic but makes it way easier to get the fire in close to the burner while keeping your hand at a safe distance.

I have this exact model of twig stove and have had almost no issues with it that weren't the fault of my own stupidity. The only thing I would watch out for would be the wind, but with proper planning and/or making a wind shield, you shouldn't have any problems with it. Pic related is a short day hike I did in upstate New York last weekend. Made some pretty good sausage and potato stew with some of the Fosters beer as a base. Highly recommend, and don't let people afraid of soot and finding a handful of twigs tell you otherwise.
