First look and unboxing of the OEX Heiro Stove
In this video I unbox and have a first look at the OEX Hiero Stove while out on one of my hikes in the Peak District? The OEX stove is much cheaper than the Jetboil version but is it as good?

    • @StuartThow
      @StuartThow 12 днів тому

      Exactly! Does the same as a Jetboil just slightly slower, when I'm out and camping I'm never in a rush so an extra 30sec - 1min isn't a big deal. Especially when I'm used to alcohol stove speeds 😂. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😎

      @StuartThow 12 днів тому

      Yeah I think it all comes down to what your looking for in your stove, if it's speed then the Jetboil wins everytime, but for cost I have to give it to the Oex... Plus im unfit so I don't mind the extra minute of sitting to recover 🤣

    • @BoxTunnel
      @BoxTunnel 12 днів тому

      Me too, but it was 35 years ago using hexi stoves and the shite "waterproof" matches in the rat pack. Nightmare to light and took ages to make a brew. If we had Jetboils back in '88 on Dartmoor life would have been a little more comfortable!

      Yeah I thought it would do better than it did, I was in a nice sheltered area with practically no wind but the midge repellent didn't stop them from coming near me. I will give it another few goes, because even though it didn't get rid of them I only got 1 bite. Don't know if that was just down to luck though! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊

    Ended up being forced into finding a great pitch! Given how much you liked the bivi, it does make it a real bargain. I am tempted to use mine again at some point, but still have so many to use...

    I like to use a length of poly braided rope that goes around three sides of inter tent as a water break & it works pretty good to stop water from running under tent, I like Nightcat products

    Great video Stu.👍 I've noticed myself that those Sheep up on Kinder seem to be getting tamer. Your video demonstrates that lol. Also, that was a nice spot where you camped at. It was a good job that you took a bivvy with you for that location mate. I've heard from others, that those repellent gizmo's seem to work better on Mosquitos rather than Midges, dunno really, that was just something which I heard. This was an enjoyable Kinder adventure mate, cheers.🙂

      Thanks mate, yeah the Flextail didn't seem to do much, but saying that I only had 1 small bite the following day so it might have worked a little bit. Thanks for watching, really appreciate it 😊 Also looking forward to seeing what adventure you get up to next in the Peaks 😎

    Great that your plan went wrong but ended up better. The sheep are as bad as ever at scrounging. I had a sandwhich nicked by one at Kinder Downfall in the 70s. Surprised they haven't learned how to cook!

  • @unclepeteswildadventures

    Yep you can get a bivy in almost anywhere. I like hoop bivis with front and rear mesh (like my Elan) so you can open your eyes and see the stars at night. A side loader is a game changer though. Much easier to enter and exit. Recommend a tarp to complement the bivi especially in rainy weather. I’d have left the beer in the fridge, too heavy😉 I’d heard of sheep worrying, but human worrying?🤣atb

    • @StuartThow
      @StuartThow 2 місяці тому

      Yeah I really like the look of the Elan, I think I will probably add one to my collection eventually. The sheep though ... never seen them like that before 😂 they obviously like pizza 🤣🤣🤣
