Thanks, I enjoyed that video. I've just bought myself the Toaks 750, which I'll use with a Trangia on a little stove that works as a wind break and pot holder 😊
Wow! With fuel, that setup weighs about as much as my Jetboil Flash weighs without any fuel! I think I'll be making the switch soon. Thanks for the video!
I have spent the past week trying to decide the best way to make coffee in the bush here in Australia 🇦🇺. I stumbled across this short and all my prays were answered. Thank you for sharing
Evernew titanium spirit burner with Ti stand, 550ml Toaks cup, fuel bottle is 45ml plastic snap seal container, room for a spare sea to summit collapsible 250ml cup, lighter, foil for ground and a sponge for cleaning too. 268g with a full fuel bottle. 👍🏻🏴
This is a great video, and addresses the contention I had as well when considering a solo cooking kit and when I go backpacking with my Wife. Thanks for the video and ideas! Cheers. 🍻
Your Toaks 750ml pot, 4oz (110gr) fuel canister is the same exact nesting system I use. I also carry a Toaks 450ml pot that contains coffee my foldable spork, & a lighter. I've made Koozies for both the Toaks pots, everything is secured inside their orange mesh bag. The Koozies helps retain a HOT temperature of my freeze dried meal right down to the last sporkful. The smaller 450ml cup/Koozie keeps my HOT coffee HOT HOT. I boil 700ml of water in the 750ml pot, pour out 400ml of water into the smaller pot for coffee, then pour my freeze dried meal into the still boiling water that remains in the 750ml pot & wait for the meal to rehydrate. My 4oz (110gr) fuel canister is always FULL when I start out on an overnighter because I use a GWorks lindel fuel transfer valve to top it off from a larger fuel canister. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada.
@@oquati Some time back I changed things up a bit. I no longer nest the 450ml cup inside the 750ml cup. Instead I put a small 4oz fuel canister & my Soto Windmaster inside the larger cup
I use the Toaks 750 and a Pocket Rocket 2. The 750 is perfect. Tried a 550, but even using the little BRS stove it won’t close all the way. Rather have a slightly bigger pot that holds everything with no issues.
Hmmm! It’s all a question of choice. I prefer an alcohol stove over a gas burner. I use a Trangia kit. It is silent and I can get fuel anywhere. The silence itself is so worth it in a natural setting!😊
@@evacoutdoors5867 in my area the only 100g can of gas I can find is the jetboil brand, it happens to be the most expensive way to buy fuel of all, but the convenience makes up for it by the time you want a brew, also, you can use very cheap adapters that allow you to move gas from larger more cost effective and cheaper brands of isobutane into the smaller 100g cans, pure 220g cans of butane are many times cheaper than buying isobutane mixes) and are so easily available that even my local supermarket sells cans of butane, also cheap in multipacks from hardware stores, butane is lower pressure than isobutane so is also safer to transfer into the 100g cans, the only problem with pure butane is that it only burns reliably above freezing temperatures, but most of the time from spring to autumn it’s fine and is around the same price per gram as methylated spirits which is slightly more available than butane cans (gas stations as well as supermarkets sell meths)
I had the heat exchanger that went with it too along with the whisperlight. I think the whole cook set must have weighed as much as all my kit these days!
Which is why I use the MSR Titan. Combined with an Alpkit mytimug 650. The 650 has an actual useful working capacity well in excess of half a litre, just the job for that morning/breakfast rehydration, or that after trail cuppa when you're gagging for a jolt of coffee to drink while your meal heats up. The650 easily nests my stove 2 small fuel bottles, a Bic lighter and a tiny plastic syringe for fuel transfer and a do rag/rattle cloth for clean-up and to preserve my sanity from meltdown by clanking cookset syndrome punctuating every step of the way. Assisting this peace of mind function is a Toaks windshield/pot stand. It fits neatly between the Titan and the Mytimug. As for one of the many possible combinations of cook - pots/stove etc, it is a very rash statement to claim that any particular one is "the best" . Best is the one that suits a particular individual need. And that need often varies widely, eg, day walk when you need a brew to go with a sandwich or, an overnighters need for a dinner and a breakfast, or a multiday trek when you might like to include a frying pan, which I like to combine with a Primus kettle for bangersnbaps and a brew on day walk. Lots of possibilities and lots of bests. So take what suits your own needs and ignore the didactic claims of anyone else's "best". Your best is the one that matters.
Thank you! You have changed my mind. Japanese is better than American.. For the sea to summit dry bag. They don't do XS size.. is is 1, 2, 4 and 8 litre. Is it the 2 litre one?
Yes- the pocket rocket 2 and the deluxe are both smaller than the Windmaster so they fit even better. I just tried fitting those 2 stoves in the 750ml Toaks in the store yesterday b/c I had the same question. That said I think the Windmaster is a better stove
@@quintonomous11 I AGREE 100%; the Soto Windmaster, the reliable piezo igniter, & fuel regulator are the originators/creators of stoves with fuel regulators. Warm Regards from bone dry Reno, Nevada
compared to less fuel efficient stoves, to other stoves with problem prone piezo igniters, to stoves with no fuel regulator, to other stoves that put out less than 11,000 btu's of heat. Warm Regards from bone dry Reno, Nevada
It is a mug, that 750ml pot. Not suitable for alcohol stoves really. and with those handles, who knows what it is suitable. Should have at least a bail handle? Really it is too small for anything than boiling you water :P
@@richcatlin If that siphon burner can keep all the flames under the pot, ok. I am myself quite critical about fuel consumption and in my experience Evernew titanium burner needs something like 14 cm diameter pot for that to happen. Trangia burner is better in keeping flames under pot criteria. I might try that siphon burner.
A person definitely wants to be wearing gloves or have something that insulates hands/fingers from that hot pot. I've made a Koozie using reflectix for my 750ml Toaks pot. The Koozie/cup fit inside the orange sack. I take the pot out of it's Koozie, put it over my Soto Windmaster, when water is boiling, I put on a thin pair of gloves, take the pot off the stove, then insert the pot with boiling water inside its Koozie, pour my Freeze Dried meal into the pot/water, cover it, & wait for my meal to rehydrate. The Koozie retains the heat so I can enjoy a HOT HOT meal right down to the last sporkful. Warm Regards from bone dry Reno, Nevada

It may sound silly but turn the cannister upside down b4 putting it in the pot. The underside gives that little extra room in the well.

i also have this 750ml with the 450ml mug. great little combo and super lightweight.

550 will fit gas and BRS3000. You just put the gas upside down in it first.
Thanks for sharing.
Well; the gas is consumable, its containing canister is not.
Take care

The lid under the pot is inspired.
Take the red plastic cap off the gas cartridge and it fits.🧐🧐 Only just but the Toaks lid stays on.
Perfect setup. Love it. Could you tell me where you got the dry bag that you are using for your Toaks 750. Thanks for the Video 😎👍
The black one is an XS 70 D Sea to Summit
The orange mesh comes with the Toaks
I carry the West German military mess kits and the bcb Crusader Mach ll British military mess kit
San miguel beer is filipino beer ....wow thats one I like in manila
Great video and great kit. How many liters is the xs sea to summit dry bag? I can only find the sizing in liters on the website.
I think it’s the 70 D xs which is 1 litre
@@evacoutdoors5867 It is not 1 litre. I have the 1 litre bag and it is a lot smaller. That is at least 2 litre drysack.
The best pot is the one I already own!
Hey getting this setup too thank you, what size gas/fuel canister is that so I can make sure to get the same size?
It’s the small one 100 ml. From memory.

110gr of fuel, ie, 3.88 oz of fuel
A lot has changed since the days of ppl using the MSR Alpine Cookset.
I actually had the Alpine Cookset. Many years ago.
I had the heat exchanger that went with it too along with the whisperlight. I think the whole cook set must have weighed as much as all my kit these days!
Which dry bag do you have?
It’s the sea to summit 70 D I think the size xs.
Check out the Soto Thermostack Combo, around 320 grams for a set of 3 and lids.
Thanks I only ever use one cup, no lid.
What size gas canister is that?
100 ml
BTW, if you fill the Toaks 750 to 750 ml it will guarantee the water boiling over the pot. No it's not a full 750.

of course it's a full 750ml. 750 is the pot capacity. think about it
i can get my whole cookset inside a can of san miguel ! ; )
Can you do this with a pocket rocket 2??? This is my big question!
Maybe but the Soto is better.

@Thoth Al Khem Most thru hikers are mis-guided then, They obviously havn't done their research very thoroughly.
beware of rust from gas canister
If a gas can is rusty, don't buy it, don't even consider using one that has rusted through poor long term storage. If you have one, ditch it.
