Too small.

So some more chinese tat. No thanks, I will buy British 💪🇬🇧

As you say, nice for those mindful moments to relax and chill with the stove. Feet up moment. I got a Trangia, meths burner and pots, for the same reason, nice and quiet, light with a mag stick, turned out to be pretty efficient too 🙂 I like the shape too, and if you chose some straighter twigs 🙂topping up would be a breeze. The table looks very useful, better than a dish just laid on the ground. Oh, and happy new year when it comes.

alpkit do a similar rectangular one as well but i think the serotonin has extra accessories 🔥

How much does the titanium version weigh?

I bought one and love it.

Top tip: chop up the bacon into bite size bits and put them in the pot atop either stove: less to clean up, better control, no added oil or fat required to cook it, less chance of burning it too. Happy Christmas 👍🏻

Hi Dave I know you have a good relationship with the guys at Nortent, any chance you could get clarity on the crossing of the poles on the Vern series as there is a lot of chatter about whether pole bend is good and how do you keep that bend to a level where strength isn’t compromised and does the way you cross the pole increase or decrease this. Many Thanks

If you like that you’ll love the titanium Winnerwell backpacking stove, you can also buy a table that acts as a stand for it to keep it off the ground. It’s bigger than the Serotonin and when you’re not cooking it’s a mini fireplace, I cut down a small sheet of titanium to seal the top of mine so all the heat comes out of the fireplace portion.

Great intro to innovative kit. Thank you and happy new year to you, yours and all reading this.

👍👍👍 .. an interesting variation on a theme. I like the little table and the folding legs idea under the stove to protect the surface below. When necessary, I put my Wood Burners into a Mess Tin / Similar, with some water therein to protect the underlying surface. I have the Bushbox LF in Stainless Steel and to date, it has given me good service. Old Years Eve, it's going to toast Marshmallows over Charcoal Briquettes on my flat balcony while I watch the Fireworks Display across the Rhine in Germany, drinking 'Glühwein and with the Malti-Poo under a blanket next to me 😊. New kit 🤔 .. 74 years under the bridge has taught me that the 'search for the ideal kit' is similar to that for the Holy Grail .. just out of reach .. always 😁. I'm at the stage now that what I now have 'will do'. Any perceived or actual 'shortcomings', as a 'Boomer' (YOB 1950) we know how to adapt 😏. Thanks for the share .. and an all of the best of the New Year to you too.

It does look like a nice small stove but I think that it would be a big improvement if it was bigger.

Nice one Dave, will it manage a turkey crown 😂😂 Happy new year to you & your family when it arrives.

I appreciate people who are good at tinkering and engineer clever gear. I’m going to look into this and see if it’s available in the states here.

That looks nice and compact, strong too. You might have found yourself your next Soulu killer ;) Happy new years

I really admire people who have the creativity and energy to design and produce a better widget. Puts my decades old and filthy cone shaped wood burner to shame. Thanks, for sharing this, Dave. Honey looked to appreciate it as well.

Mines gone missing somewhere 😂

Cheers Dave. The stove isn't for me. Have great new year

Dave that looks like a nice stove, how long did the Turkey take on the day😂

Trying to decide between talon 33 or 30 velocity, thanks for the vid

Why do outdoors youtubers devote so much video time to cooking and eating?

I see Chris has a pole in his hand and I wondered if this was some kind of safety back-up or even balance assistance? I love using my walking poles but perhaps need to learn to use them a bit less.

Really like the high bath tub. Do you still rate this tent Dave? I noticed this vid is from 3years ago. Has there been any issues since and are you still using it? All the best - Jack👍🏼

This tent really can't be compared to a Hilleberg. It's better to evaluate it based on the weather conditions you plan to use it in. Many of the influencers who have praised this tent probably won't put it to the test in harsh conditions, or they might back out when things get tough.

I think all things considered - price, initial weight, water, fuel etc - the tinned meals are a winner. The only time that dried meals might win is when there is water at camp ... but if it needs filtering / boiling that adds weight to kit.

I've always found that I prefer the lowest light setting on a head torch for moving around my pitch at night. My Petzl actic core gives 6 lumens which lasts over 100 hours and I can easy read by it. I was pretty impressed with the 5 lumen run times of over 200 hours with your Fenix head torches. I think the price is a bit beyond my budget though! I would definitely consider the 62 if my Petzl gives up. Many thanks for the excellent comparison. Kind regards, Nick.

Dave, hoping you can resolve my quandary! I have decided to branch out into more inclement weather so looking to pick up my first 4 season tent. I can't decide between the Soulo, Storm Star or Vern. Leaning more towards the Storm Star I think. Cost isn't a big driver. The main issue is I'm 6'3 so I think the Soulo would be too tight. I could go diagonal in the Storm Star. I love the design of the Vern but I feel the other two would hold up better in worse weather? What do you think mate? As always, thank you for all the content you get out there, it's inspiring!

I just treated myself to a Vern 2 and tested on Dartmoor a couple of days ago in crazy winds and rain it was awesome, I couldn’t be happier with it, what a fantastic bit of kit. Thanks for all the videos mate, have a merry Xmas (that sticky toffee pud looked bang on!)

Really good review - loved the explanation of the rocker. I'm in the market to replace my 33 year old pair of Scarpa Manta mountain boots so loved the detail of your review and comparison of other boots you have owned. Also good to hear you have spent your own money, so clearly have looked long and hard before spending a considerable amount of money. Looking forward to watching more of your content.

Great review that must have taken some time. The fenix 65r now has a 21700 6000mah battery on there sight.

I like this scientific approach.

Is this a thing or something you thought of?

As usual, an excellent thorough informative review. Enjoyed it very much. Thanks David!

Great review Dave well done.

Main headtorch is the LedLenser H19R. Back up and tent torch is the Petzl Bindi. And if it's really dark the third weapon in the Olight Mini Marauder.

Liking the look of the 75.

Dave, just started watching the video 1:20, and I think you could have started a new trend. Its, quit fetching. Dave, i would go for the 75 just for the red light. Cheers good review.

Great video, many thanks.

Nice one Dave. I’ve got the Led Lenser HR5. I got it from work. It’s the one our traffic management people use when they are working on the motorways at night. I can land a 747 with the light it gives off. 🤣

I bought the HM65R-T following your group assessment a while ago. It has been doing me proud to date - comfy enough, lights up the way very well, lasts more than long enough for me so far. Thank you for the recommendation!

It's a bit late now, but maybe worth adding that I think the Y peg might be the "wrong" way round in at least one of the tests. They are meant to be orientated with the single tip (bottom) of the Y towards the tent. Likewise with V pegs the (bottom) tip is meant to point at the tent. This is totally counter inuitive, and I've always done it wrong. But it is what the instructions say, and I've seen testing that shows it does make a difference. The same instructions and tests also suggest a much steeper insertion is best, only 10 degrees. Again not my intuition.

One of the downside to the kuiu ss is the bag it fits in its like a smartie tube .lol 🤣 not good when all you want to do is get out of the winds and rain fast but instead your wrestling with a bloody tent bag lol .i soon changed mine I'd rather change the bag and add a couple of ounces and be stress free lol 😂😂

The “mathematical shape of pi” ? Hysterical 😂.
