So glad it’s helpful! I agree, hanging food is just as effective. It’s tough because adding a BV added extra weight but now that it’s a requirement we just smile and backpack.

It was so beautiful! It wish we could have stayed a couple more days

You’re welcome! I’m glad it’s helpful

I typically take one freeze dried meal as a treat for my last night. I didn't have a bunch of homemade meals on hand or I would have used them. I recently did a video on the food I'm packing for the JMT and it's amazing how much more you can fit when you make your own meals

I like to bring my jetboil when I take my kids out. The neoprene sleeve (or whatever it is) provides some peace of mind against burns. I’m doing the JMT next month and think I’ll bring the Jetboil stash but then bring the Fire Maple for a shorter trip in September to see how it does.

@@NealBenson friend of my like to travel a lot on motorcycle and he only takes 100 gr canister , BRS , half a spoon and stuffing it in 700ml cup . can't think of the lighter solution . now i thinking to order Fire Maple and try it out . its so much smaller then Jetboil and for bykepacking volume and weight is ultra essential

@@snejok888 I have a Toaks 750ML pot and a Pocket Rocket Deluxe. I bought the BRS stove but it's so small it makes me a little nervous to use it on the trail. I also backpack around 8,000 feet elevation and have heard the fuel use goes down on the BRS really bad. I think the Fire Maple and the heat exchanger will help with fuel consumption

@@NealBenson tourist gas usually has more butane . its reduced temperature and pressure . one of my colleagues is a climber and he filling up canisters himself from big gas canisters for bbq . the gas from gas stations has a lot more protane . you need to fill up 10-20% less grammes of gas in canister but it gives more heat ! dont know what kinda gas you can buy in your area but in europe it works . thers bunch of videos on youtube how to fill up camping gas canisters

That’s a genius idea!

The small gas can fits in there

We’re up at Voyageurs National Park in Minnesota.

I just saw that! 😮

You're 100% right! I'm taking this on the John Muir Trail in a couple of weeks. In my testing the hip belt and internal frame have been great. I think the weight and cost are at the right point for this pack!

@@NealBenson I’ll probably wait for another sale going. I know it’s probably too early to ask since it’s July, but did you have any experience regarding waterproof-ness of the material?

@@themodularmodular I think that's smart. It was on sale for the Memorial Day sale and I bet it will be for the Labor Day sale too. I don't have experience with waterproofing but @mike_blanda did some testing with it here: ua-cam.com/video/xR9RNBqY7NI/v-deo.htmlsi=-kh0m0BT0eeSNlAL

I hopped on the scale and with the BV500 I was at 12.4 pounds. I think the BV500 weighs in just over 2lbs.

I'm really glad you shared this comment! I was literally thinking doing the same thing today. I'll be hiking in the Sierras, where it's known to rain, but don't want to carry a rain jacket. I'm planning in bringing my OV NovaUL and was thinking I'll bring the Nebo also. I had the Nebo last summer in Yosemite and did great in a rain storm. God bless you too!

@@TheNoobHiker I know! Totally out of character for me not to have a pound of Skittles! I’m aiming to film while on trail and share some footage. I’ve heard it’s so beautiful up there! I start August 2 and hope to finish August 16

I actually did a test the day before and started the Petrel 600 first. The Jetboil took so long to ignite and the Fire Maple set up had boiled in 1:50. I was super impressed

Thank you for the encouragement! And thank you for sharing your experience with how much gas each stove uses per boil. This has been something that I’ve been trying to figure out. And in my testing, I wish I would have weighed each gas can prior to the use, but it just wasn’t possible and the conditions that I was in. I also put some silicone handles on my toes handles because they get hot. I really like the petrol pot and it’s handle. I think they have a great design and I can’t wait to continue to see how this company advances in the future.

They are like wet wipes but start dry. They are about the size of a quarter, but thicker, and you just add a little water to them. Going to use them for cleaning up on the hike- amzn.to/45Vw7aN

Bro! You're the most encouraging guy on YT! So grateful for you

@@NealBenson you are far too kind! You keep me motivated brother

Thank you! I really like the idea you shared about green powder. Is that a veggie supplement? Where do I find it?

@@NealBenson Amazon sells green powders, various brands. I usually buy what is on sale with good reviews and hope it is somewhat healthy. Paleovalley also has a green powder I have purchased.

@@xbalance Thank you! Should have known. I was really wondering how I would get some veggies on trial. Going to get some now.

What do you mix your Carnation instant drink?

@@wilcos50 I have a Hydra Pak that my wife got me a couple of years ago. It collapses down super small and is easy to clean on trail. amzn.to/4eUgAfo

That is such a good point. The Fire Maple has flame control. I was with a buddy who tried to cook in his Jetboil and it just stuck to the sides. Jetboils selling point is the ability to boil water. That is great if you're brining pre-packaged meals. I normally need to carry a Bear vault when backpacking and that means that I need to repackage and make my own meals to keep down on volume of food. I really like the Petrel!

Yes they should have done this with a couple of different sized pots initially instead of just copying the jet boil.

@@ashab1 I think they put the Heat Exchanger on a kettle too.

Thank you! You made it easy! :)

After a long hike I love sitting in camp and relaxing while I eat my dinner! My Jetboil is my favorite for when I hike with my kids. I really like the safety it provides.

I agree with you. They take up so much room. I've been working on a resupply box for my next hike and I am only packing one as a treat.

I just posted a video for my JMT hike and all my meals are 1/4 the size of the pre-packaged meals. I like to bring one as a treat to look forward to . ua-cam.com/video/ZYG2XUVU3y4/v-deo.html

It looks right side up to me. It’s a kids rod with a closed reel

@NealBenson hes reeling backwards tho

@@kellyshields2106 I know. It threw me off too when I was helping him. It must be that reel

​@NeaohlBenson oh lmao

That’s exactly what I was teaching him

Another day fishing in Big Bear

Oh that’s good to know. I didn’t know that

Wow! Thanks for sharing that. I’m super impressed with this stove set up

Gongrats on the Jetboil. It won’t let you down. I’ve used MiniMo almost daily for three years on and off the trail. It has not failed once. Edit: Looking to go lighter with Petrel + Soto WindMaster combo. 🤞

@@user-wq2rt5be5o thank you for the encouragement. It was really difficult for me because I really do love my jet boil. I think I just have an affinity for it. I was really surprised at how well the fire maple did

I really like my jet boil. One thing that was surprising to me in this video is that it took like 40 clicks for my PO to work in my jet boil. I need to figure out what’s causing that malfunction. I’ve never had that experience before.

Yep! I was surprised he didn’t make any noise

For the boys!

For real!

I was pretty scared

He’s sketchy!

Thank you! It was such a beautiful day

@@NealBenson I agree!

For the boyssss!

It was a nice day!

Feel free to share!!!

Hi Neighbor! We sure do love living down here in Ventura. Hope this little short brightens your day and brings some great memories back.

Thank you! It's been amazing over here

A great time in Florida.

Very suspenseful!

Thanks bro!!!

I'm so impressed with this stove so far!

Honesty is good and so are their socks! It's nice having socks that you can wear for a week without washing. I'm sure you're not the only one because I've done it too!

Yes! Able to fit the small gas can and pocket rocket 2

@@NealBenson It's done. Thank you for this accidental but oooh so practical tip! 👌💯

@@hwahl1987 Right! Such a win when you find something like this

Thank you! It’s so true. When you buy good gear with REI it lasts forever

Thank you! My bad on the link for camp shoes. They are on a huge discount today- amzn.to/3VPP6zY
