Camping and Backpacking GEAR thread

Admittedly, I am a long time fan of MSR. I have at least one of every stove they made up to the XGK. I have a Model 9 (1973 - The first MSR stove)

The Windboiler I refer too ... Jetboil complained about the name, so MSR changed the name to Windburner right away. Only a few Windboilers were sent out.
I bought 2 New In Box Windboilers, and another used. I am a collector.
The Reactor has to be the fastest stove I have ever seen. Speed is not of great interest to me, but....

An engineer at MSR said the Reactor can use a canister that Jetboil has used up. Something about the pressure reduction system (?).

How is the Jetboil in the wind? (I do not have a Jetboil.)

 

The jetboil basically has a built in windscreen so it's ok. Being able to put it behind a rock or something is best, but it'll work in the wind

 

Do you have a link to one of their stoves?

 

My first stove was a Svea 123R that used coleman fuel of high test gasoline. Fond memories of getting that lit in 10 degree temps in the 70's. Now I have a Coleman 2 burner with piezo ignitor along with an MSR PocketRocket with a custom wind screen made out of aluminum flashing. Vented with 3/8" holes.

 

I should clarify.
Use whatever stove you want to use. I am just expressing my opinion.
My fav camping stove is the Heinze Geniol Dieselkocher.

 

Thanks.
I like the ones that can be put over a campfire, in order to cook with wood also.

 

Look at the Kelly grand Mesa tents I have the Grand Mesa II and it has been on many adventures! It has even done a 10 day 67 mile trek in New Mexico... they are very well built and extremely affordable for a backpacking tent.

 

I have a packet rocket and love mine. It has served me well for quite a few years now.

Anyone own any Wise Owl Outfitters hammocks? I just purchased one yesterday. The Amazon reviews are pretty good at a decent price.

 

Probably does. I have not weighed either of mine.
Seeing one, you can really appreciate it.

 

We have a pair of the Partner Steel "JK stoves" from Adventure trailers with their stove/fridge combo slides and love them.

 

You guys aren't helping my bank account here. I've been looking at those for a couple years now.

 

I mounted a Partner Stove in my teardrop a couple of years ago: (Scroll down a few posts) https://americanadventurist.com/forum/threads/scott-b-s-little-guy-offroad-teardrop-build.4975/page-2

It works great, cleans up easily, and never fails to light.

 

I guess I can post some recent stuff.

I did Wheeler Peak, NM, this past weekend.




A few weeks ago I poked around for a bit in Valles Caldera National Preserve on the way back from Utah. I would like to go back.



Spent some time in Capitol Reef:






And went to Zion again:

You can see the climbers on Touchstone Wall here

Those are some incredible shots...thanks for posting them. I have a couple of more destinations to add to the list.

 

Wonder if there will be another group buy on these sometime soon. I may have to jump in on it this time.
I like your thinking DD.

 

Let me see if I can find the OP of the group buy to see if there may be something.

@mstudt I see you just had a group buy. Any idea when the next one would be?

 

My stove has angered me since I bought it. How's the adjustments for the flame on the Partner's? Able to truly simmer?

I've known about them for a while now and really love the construction. I figure you're one to really test something like this out.

 

Damn, I thought this was through the 19th of this month.
