I feel like the answer here is based on the person and what you are doing. I wear boots not for concerns about ankle sprains. Instead I want good footwear to carry my weight and the weight of the pack. My feet feel better and my back feels better. Two things that can be an issue for me so that's important. There are also a great variety out there. Choose what works for you.

I've had one for five years as my primary stove. I've had zero problems, it's lightweight, boils fast and is cheap. I have a small piece of aluminum foil I use as a windscreen, or my backpack, or my sit pad, or a log, or rocks, or I guess that just hasn't been an issue. Not sure why there are haters, it's just a piece of metal, buy it or don't. My son uses the MSR Windburner which is an awesome stove with great wind resistance but it's 1300% more expensive along with quite a bit of added weight.

I tried walking a little slower instead of setting a hard and fast pace, like you said I was stopping every 50meters breathless. But I slowed down and I didn't stop for 2kms. Thanks for the tip 😊

30 lbs with food and water! I struggle to get mine below 30 before food and water.

Thanks for a useful tip

We just stayed in a regular basecamp tent. How do you reserve these, I assume it's on a space available basis if they aren't being used for training?

This review has some truth to it, but also a lot of misinformation. The reviewer is clearly not very familiar with this stove - the valve operates in the opposite direction to how he explained for instance, and this model does not come with a wick at the base (that only comes on the international version). I've burned probably 15 litres or so in my whisperlight and it's never required any maintenance other than once having to refit the fuel cup after it unscrewed itself - no big deal. There are pros and cons to this stove, and I would generally recommend a canister stove over this for most people, but calling this stove obsolete is just ignorant.

Low and slow wins the race to baldy.

Went on a motorcycle trip, around the world. From Russian cold forests, Mongolian mountains, the Death valley, this msr worked as a charm, and it runs in the same fuel as my motorcycle if needed. No need to worship anything, but it is a thing made to last, and made easy to be repaired in the middle of nowhere. Also, as the bottle with fuel is far away from the actual stove, much safer than a lot of other stoves

Do you use it primarily for boiling? How about extended use like for 30 mins? My concern is that I noticed the stove base gets hot that I cant hold it even for 1 second. Im afraid that it will transfer the heat to the canister which will result to an explosion.

What do ya do?

It's great unless there's a breeze

I love to collect camping stoves and have a few dozen of them. For going light weight (late spring, summer, early fall especially when section and thru hiking) and for just boiling water this stove has worked fine for me. It has worked fine for me at elevation in Canada such as back-country camping in Jasper National Park (no 14,000 footers here though), plus I want to pack lighter as I gain in age.. When preparing meals, frying fish, canoe camping, shorter hiking trips, or winter camping I choose to use other options. The one that gets used the most outside winter months is the canister Soto Wind Master, mainly because I do a lot of Wilderness Canoe and Kayak trips, and this stove has proven to be well made and very reliable.

Nice cigar lighter..

I prefer titanium because aluminum dissolves slowly in acidic foods.

6 years of use is impressive. I also got a burner like this, but was a bit skeptical about its lifespan. Thank you very much for the video.

1) No regulator, so it can't reliably simmer. 2) It's less efficient. 3) It's really inefficient in wind. Nevertheless, BRS is a fine stove. It's said to be the lightest canister stove (27g or so). Better than most anything out there. Kind'a surprised nobody made one with a regulator inside. Regulators are neither large nor heavy. A 28g regulated BRS-lookalike might be a big seller?

But do not consume too much of the electrolytes. We found out the hard way that you can have the need to medical out a scout if they consume too much of the hydration powders. By day 3 or 4, one of our scouts had been "bumming" liquid Iv's from my son and I and not drinking enough plain water. He wiped out the other scouts in our crew as well. I believe that's what truly sent this kiddo to base camp 2 times to medical, but we didn't put 2 and 2 together until midway through our 12 day trek. I'm not a medical professional, but that much has to have a negative effect. When we got back to base camp, I asked about it with the staff, and they said one powder per 32 ounces (liter or nalgene) followed up with at least one plain liter of water per day. Lesson learned.

Muslim?

Mine has never failed me. Simple little stove setup. But there are lots of options depending on your situation.

That thing is a piece of crap for many reasons. Have a backup folks!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤

I used a white gas stove and had trouble with the lack of oxygen at higher altitudes. The stove had a carbon build up that nagged us for the remainder of the trip. Love Philmont!

Mothball sized hail is not that unusual, but it is always dramatic lol

Philmont is a beautiful place to hike. I went in '07 and we got to hike through a monsoon for 10 days.

What a beautiful panoramic! I absolutely love that song! I wish I had your stamina, but i don't have to, thanks to your video. 😊💕

Eagles nest

I have had mine for 30 years. Used camp gas , regular gas and deisel fuel, even used jet fuel. Used it in Iraq, Afghanistan, and a few other countries. Still use it and have never had any problems. Just standard typical cleaning. Jmho

I used those pay phones when I when I went to philmont

Wow. You had great weather there. It was cold and very windy when we got there.

Heard stories from other crews in our Troop going through this. Sounds like right of passage. First thought would be, have the dining fly as accessible as possible and have everyone huddle under it using their hiking poles (handles up) pushing upwards. Just a thought. Heading out July ‘25. Can’t wait

What he’s showing on his face is that he’s so happy to do that kind of work

Some extra notes. This is South Tent City. East Tent City across from the flags will have many tents with concrete floors and roll up walkways that are ADA-friendly. For future staffers, this set up here is basically what you'll find for your tent if you're in Base Camp...minus the chair probably.

I went to Philmont in 1984. I totally would’ve taken advantage of this back then. My parents didn’t have a lot to spend on a pack, these definitely would’ve been an upgrade that probably would’ve fit me better when I was out there.

Trekked there in 1995 - great experience!

Jillian is beautiful!!❤

Omg, is this Philmont? I got to hike up Mt. Phillips

I really did not care for baldy camp. Not a great trail to camp, far walk from town, cold, and always wet. We got caught in rain after showers the day we hiked baldy. Stuck in town in the rain unprepared for it. Waited for food resupply and headed back to town. Wet and cold. I recommend being prepared for rain and chilly temps at baldy camp. Also rocky sleeping.

People always wonder how big these lockers are and how much they will hold. To date, I have not seen a video showing the inside of the locker and a size comparison for how much it can hold. The large lockers have substantial space for storing belongings though.

A dry bag is always on my essential gear packing list. It’s saved my butt a few times.

Is that what they're really doing in there?

I was At Philmont in 1984. They weighed our packs before we went out on our trek. They figured out that our packs should weigh a certain percent of our body weight and we divided up our gear accordingly

You’re doing a great job guys. You’re making a huge difference in this world

How does this one compare to Nemo’s?

No mask oof😂

3oz? If one were to use a compression-bag, use a tall/thin dcf-bag in order to form the pack to transfer weight to hips. Dcf is lighter, stronger and more durable, which makes it more waterproof in the long-run. Most don't use a compression-bag at all in order to save the weight and firm-up the pack horizontally, as well as vertically.

Boy mom approved! I built a floor to ceiling, heated/vented hoseable shower & bathroom into the corner of my garage with my old washer & dryer next to it bc boys are amazing, magical, hardworking creatures & deserve not to be yelled at for mucking up the main house/ bathrooms with mud, car & truck grease, grass stains, etc, especially considering they're doing most of that hard, grimy work for the rest of us with zero complaints & little appreciation from the world for doing it all. I couldn't believe how excited they were about it & it's proven to be one of the soundest investments I've ever made

I tend to just stuff my quilts to the bottom of my pack and do the compressing manually with the pack liner/compactor bag. I prefer to let my quilts fill out the bottom of the pack to avoid air gaps. That said, I usually bring a small dry bag for my sleep clothes/extra socks for a small degree of compartmentalization. It doesn't have compression straps, but, like my pack liner, I can compress the heck out of it when I seal it. The bonus of that is it keeps my clean clothes clean at the beginning of the trip and keeps my smelly clothes from stinking up the rest of my pack at the end of the trip.

Who cares?
