I'm pretty happy with my MSR pocket rocket for backpacking and making pots of coffee, etc while wheeling.

 

There are lots of stove options!! You hit on many of them. I have a couple of backpacking stoves and they work great!! MSR is a great brand and if you get one - either get one with an igniter or don't forget matches or the snap type to light it!!

If you are doing more truck camping - I LOVE my Camp Chef single burner. I use it mainly to boil water for coffee/cocoa and it is also very capable for eggs/bacon/burgers and such. Also with a larger pot to boil water you can drop an MRE in it -- if you buy individual entrees and don't have heaters to match.

Attached a pic -- they run on the hairspray shaped fuel cans. This is a great stove and if your wife cooks it gives the feel of a quality gas burner - for cooking and such. I get a couple of days of heavy use out of each can. Even though I have a double burner propane in the trailer I still use this little thing. Find them at REI or cheaper lots of places!!

Have fun & stay safe!!!!

 

For anyone in Arizona There is a ranch supply store here in Chandler called Shoppers. They carry the full line of Camp Chef stuff at the store so you can see it in person. They even have the shower setups also

 

I suggest this one. http://www.rei.com/product/830342/msr-whisperlite-universal-backpacking-stove Giving you the same platform with ALL the fuel options.

 

I have roughly 7 different stoves. Depends what my needs will be on that particular journey.

 

I love mine! Use it for truck camping unless it's a quick lunch stop or just a coffee morning.

 

We have a winner!!

 

I use mine all the time. This one is over 40 years old. My dad got it before I was born.

 

Anyone see this ?

Question for you rotopax users: I'm running a 4 gallon tank and would like to stack an addition 4 gallon as well as two storage container (2 gallon size I believe). What mount extensions do I need? It looks like all they have are the 3, 1.75, and standard. But the standard doesn't specify what it fits.

 

Pics of the setup first please ben

 

What's the best off road recovery gear bag for the money?

I don't have any pics haha. I need to know what to buy first! I currently have a 4 gallon tank and would like to add another, as well as the first aid 2 gallon container and the road and trail container. Just need to know which spacers to buy.

 

Full of gear or just to carry?
