You are right Joe, there is a big difference between dehydrated previously cooked pasta and raw uncooked pasta. Already cooked dehydrated pasta will require far less water and BTU energy to prepare than if you boil dry uncooked pasta. It's already cooked, and you are just rehydrating it (no brainer). If you have to In an emergency, you can always just add water to the dehydrated stuff and force it down your neck cold, can't do that with raw uncooked pasta. Well done on dehydrating your own meals, healthier, tastier, and you know what you're getting. Great videos.
I also like having the lid as an extra plate/bowl. It holds just over a cup (say if you are measuring the amount of water for a packaged product) when filling up to the rim. If you are being fancier with your meal, you can flip it over and use it double boiler style to warm up something else on top (like bread or maybe eggs) while you are boiling water. People hate how the lid is not secure, but I love how multi-functional it is. Thanks for the video.
I can honestly say i love your videos bro , everyday i come home i spend time with the family and when the kids are off to bed i sit on my couch and watch your videos everyday. No joke lol ive switched from watching regular cable tv to watching you and scout i enjoy every video you post and to be honest ive never been camping but after watching you i can honestly say you have inspired me and motivated me to do this hopefully soon , even if its just trying it out in my backyard. Keep it up bro i hope you keep growing, and please keep posting awesome vids!
Your #1 Fan✌ all the way from Dallas,Tx!!!
I hope that you actually went camping and are still enjoying the hobby :)
Great video. Some advice: if you rub dish soap on the bottom of your pot before burning, it will help that black stuff wipe off much better. If you already got some soot on your pot and can't get it off, hand sanitizer works too. However, if you leave the soot alone, after the third or fourth burn it starts to stick and won't wipe off on any of your stuff.
I have the similar solo stove that I use just about every time I am in the woods. You don't have to start with tinder in the stove. Load it up with good chunks of wood and sticks and then start the tinder on the top. It works better that way. You will soon learn that this stove has an appetite and you have to feed it almost constantly but it beats carrying fuel bottles.
Joe, it's real easy to place the pot stand part on the stove if you run a twig through the holes on the sides to hold it while you put it in place, that way you don't have to sort of drop it in place. It is amazing that the whole thing weighs less that the Zebra pot alone. Amazing piece of kit!
Respect to you for going for the original and best and not the Solo Stove rip-off one.
The BB Ultra is the viable 'little bit of titanium' that you want in your pack.
This guy knows, Hendrik knows and so do I. That's why we bought one.
Go grab your BB Ultra today folks, it knocks spots off other impersonators and will last a lifetime. It's a well made piece of engineering.
Joe and Scout , I loved to see the two of you out in adventures these are some of the deep roots of what connected everyone to you Joe. It wasn't alone or anything like that I feel but getting to know you and your faithful companion. I'm so glad you made it to where you are and where your going and will miss Scout but he did give us all great enjoyment he was the bomb when it comes to bushcraft dogs 👍👍❤
I have and used this exact setup for a few years and I have used is literally hundreds of meals. If not for canoeing and hiking, I would use for cooking my lunch at work at work as a carpenter in the winter. Nice to have a hot lunch then a cold. As with everything it takes time and use to use it as efficiently as possible. I wouldn't worry about having to take a backup on your trip, that combo will serve you well!
+parkerbrothers75 very cool! thanks:)
I will probably be forever stunned at how people can't understand why you precook your Pasta, before dehydrating it. Yes, you can cook it out in the woods, but, like you said, it takes longer and you have to drain it after it is cooked to get rid of the starch that is actually just the Wheat in the pasta.
When you precook the pasta then dehydrate it, you have dinner sooner, with less mess.
Another great Video Joe, thanks.
Great vid as always, keep up the good work!
Bush buddy stove = 5.5 oz and takes up some packvolume.
Emberlit fireant titanium = 2.8 oz and packs flat (1/8th of an inch).
And as a bonus it comes with a tray insert that turns it into an esbit stove.
You should check it out, I've had mine for a year or so now and couldn't be happier.
I've heard from a lot of people that the Bushbuddy works best by filling it with wood and sticks and then lighting a fire on top. It's more fuel efficient and burns for longer. Starting with a small fire and then continually adding more is a bit of a pain. But I just saw this vid was from 2016 so you've probably figured that out by now!
Welcome to it. I bought a solo in 2013, and it's still going after 2 years on the road and a winter living in the woods.
I use a MSI Ti pot, and I have cooked many meals on nothing but roadside trash. 61,786 of you wouldn't and couldn't lol...
See you on the highground.
Been using the same setup for sometime now. Try filling the stove with finger/thumb thick sticks stood on end and burn as a top down fire. I get a boil most times with little or no extra wood added. Make yourself a cosy for the pot makes a big difference when eating. Have a good trip.
+Jason Lee perfect, thanks!
Hi Joe - I know this vid is from a long time ago but I have to comment. I have a Solo stove . In the time that I've had it, it continues to surprise me that most people are misguided on how to use it. Some folks are lighting it incorrectly and are forced to put way too much effort into tending the fire in it. Solo stoves work best (and are made for) top down fires. They are much less work if you build the top down fires in them. 2 or 3 layers of larger twigs on bottom, few pencil size layers on top of that and small fire starting tinder on top. It burns down. This is the only way you can start this type of stove, put on your pot and walk away.
As always - thanks.
I love my bushbuddy! I'm in Oregon so I had problems with wet wood until I figured out that the ash pan can hold alcohol. Game changer! A half ounce of alcohol and this thing boils faster than my trangia AND I can add wood at the end of the alcohol for a nice simmer. I carry a small plastic Coke bottle of denatured and a piece of aluminum foil for a windscreen with my bushbuddy and feel like this is the lightest, most convenient backpacking cook setups imaginable. Peace and happy travels!
+Christopher Paustian very cool!!
I’ve used the solo lite stove. Looks almost exactly like it. The stick stoves burn very hot and very fast. You have to babysit them constantly to feed them. They go out quickly if you don’t. Put wood in before it goes down. Grass and paper tend to choke them out. They do stay warm a while and there is almost no unburnt stuff just a tiny amount of ash. Great buy great thing to carry in a pinch
I agree wholeheartedly on the dehydrating vs raw pasta. Makes the most sense. Plus you can cook a larger variety of foods at home easier, dehydrate, and reheat on the trail without losing that home cooked flavor.
That's a respectable system for canoe tripping. I might need to copy that one lol cheers, John
You can cook pasta along with your sauce, meat and veggies. Pasta only takes about 8 minutes to cook. Add the dry noodles and other ingredients together and add a little more water than normal. Bring to a boil. Simmer with lid on for 8-10 minutes or until done. Using the path finder skillet with lid I can cook most of my pasta meals in one container. Works fine with any container and lid. Practice makes perfect.
If you put the water and macaroni mix together first for a few minutes they can hydrate for a couple of minutes while you are getting the stove up and running. It saves you time when getting your camp setup. Pre-cooking the pasta is one solution but changing your approach to prepping the food and packing the sauce separately accomplishes the same thing.
My kit is similar but I use a homemade alcohol stove /w 2 oz of fuel as my backup. The homemade alcohol stove is less than an oz an fits inside the stove along with fuel, tinder, mini-Bic lighter and collapsible spork. 2 oz of alcohol will boil 4 cups of water or 2x2 cups of water in good conditions. I typically boil 3 cups of water for a meal - I pour off part of the water for my tea in a separate container, then hydrate/cook my food in the main pot.
Hi Joe -
For your pasta, try Barilla Pronto pasta. It is designed to cook while boiling and absorb the water. When the water is about gone, add your sauce and there you go. I use it quite a bit at home and on the trail. Cheers!
If you like elbows, you would LOVE Radiatore. I'm very passionate about my mac and cheese, but don't get out camping and hiking too often, and you'll probably love this shape for some of the same features I do.
1) lots of surface area. This allows for a lot of cheese sauce to stick to a small amount of pasta for maximum cheesiness... It also means it will cook or rehydrate very quickly. This also makes it more forgiving with the sauce/liquid to pasta/solid ratio. If there is too much sauce, it will grip it... if not enough, you can stir a lot to evenly disperse what is there.
2) Structural integrity. Everyone knows about Rotini, which has a lot of surface area... but you try cooking that stovetop with a thick sauce, and it falls apart during vigorous stirring. I can stir the heck out of radiatore and it will remain in tact. This benefits a backpacker because it is so hard to overcook it. With a natural flame and small volume, and also dehydrating a sauce, it is hard to not overcook a pasta. Even with some overcooking, Radiatore is structural enough to not turn into shreds and/or a mush. Due to the large surface area, you also don't have to worry much about undercooking it.
3) No sharp edges: This doesn't matter for Mac & Cheese, but radiatrore is even more bag friendly when hard than elbows. no sharp edges facing out.
The thing about the billy pot is the versatility. You can cook noodles or rice bellow and steam or rehydrate stuff on top. at night I do most of my cooking but i also stop midday for a quicker meal, and it really does save time. The weight is not an issue for me since on a bicycle half a kg is nothing, especially considering that sometimes I carry a whole pannier of food, which can reach 10kg XD
You can cook macaroni in spaghetti sauce just the same as in boiling water. In fact..you can put it all in the pot at the same time and just keep cooking until it all heats up and your macaroni becomes tender. It makes a nice thickened sauce.
This looks like a Solo Stove to me in every respect. It should serve you well. Thanks for taking a walk to demonstrate it out in the woods area. Scout has such a great temperament. Quiet, not needy and when you were breaking the wood from the tree I was sure he was going to grab a stick and be off with it. The spaghetti seemed to hit the spot! I hope your trip goes well.
+James Carmean Scout's a German Shepard, they are chill dogs - especially when you don't have a woman staring and talking baby talk to them. You'd be surprised how chill dogs can be when you don't orbit your life around them.
+James Carmean thanks!
Good point oh the starchy noodles Joe. Its best to cook noodles in as much water as possible. I watched the cooking channel once and learned that. My wife used to us way too little water and it was just yuk. Now its Yum!
Looks great, but no matter what I want to use I haven't gotten away from bringing a backup pocket rocket and can of fuel either. I do have one recommendation: Sprongs. They're a combination fork, spoon, and tongs from the guy who made the emberlit stove. I've been using them for a couple months and really like them. Very functional and super lightweight. :-)
Try out Rotini noodles. They're spiral shaped. Not sharp, and hold sauce really well. Can be eaten with a spoon, or a fork.
Joe, will you be taking your camp axe with you? If you do, I have found that wood-gas stoves work better with "chipped" pieces rather than twigs. Chip small pieces with your axe, it takes about 3 minutes from one branch. Then pack the wood chips tightly into the gasifier. Light the fire on top. Once the stove is gasifying, then it should cook your food, burning for 15 minutes, without re-fueling the fire.
You have probably already been told this, but you'll find the Bushbuddy even better using a top down burn. I appreciate the comments about buying the original and such, but I actually own both a BB and a Solo Lite, and both have their strengths. Yes, BB is the original... but the steel is thinner and more prone to damage. The Solo is heavier but more rugged. Both work great and add to my backpacking trips when I take them.
Hey Joe, for the record you can cook pasta in the sauce. it's a cool change of pace from regular pasta... But! It is absolutely foolish to do it in your situation, but for general cooking at home it does create more of stew like spaghetti type sauce. I do it all the time and I mainly use tortellini, it's definitely something worth trying in the home kitchen. But like I said, it makes no sense to do it in the field you'd need a whole lot more water to get it to not be sticky and messy in that tiny pot. Have fun on your trip! ATB Michael
+Primal Edge great to know!, thanks buddy :)
Eventually the handle will wear out from overuse. Nothing like frying up some food, lifting the pan by the handle, and watching it collapse...dumping your food in the dirt at your feet.
Just keep a good squeeze on the handle and you'll be fine. The nice thing about the titanium is that it cools quickly.
going back and looking at these earlier ones - I'm sure plenty of people have pointed out to load the bush buddy differently. these gasifiers work by packing the container pretty tightly with fuel up to the internal holes, then lighting the top, and it burns downwards. Should get about 30 mins or more of steady flame without having to add more fuel. no muss no fuss.
Joe, you can use finger to thumb size wood once the stove gets going. You can use alcohol as well. Check out the videos on the Bush Buddy. Good choice.
I ordered a aftermarket lid for my 900. Four dog stoves makes a titanium lid that actually works. The frying pan lid is just a hassle as I'm sure you have noticed. I think it was 16 dollars free shipping to the US. Not sure about out of the states. Works great for me so far. Only one I have found that makes the lid from titanium. Cheers 🍻
I use an emberlit titanium and a titanium canteen Kit by heavy cover for my backpacking cook kit. Love the light weight durability.
A guy on alone said he originally thought you were a moron for losing your fire steel. Then he made his own. What a guy!
Just a lil FYI which you may know already that there is a Solo Stove as well as the Bush Buddy cook stoves. Two different stoves doing the same thing. I actually thought that you were previewing the "My Solo Stove". Enjoy the video's that you share with us all. Thank you for your time and energy!
I have the same titanium snow peak 900 pot and I use 2 rubber/elastic bands to keep the lid on the pot tightly when transporting.
It makes a huge difference.
Try loading the stove vertically. I've made dozens of this type stove using soup cans paint cans etc. For the most efficient long burn, I expect nearly an hour from one that size, load it with straight grained hardwood cut to length so that when standing on end in the stove it will come to just below the burner holes near the top. You can pack it real tight for a longer slower burn or loosely for a more vigorous burn. Put your starter material on top and light. It'll burn very clean, minus wind, once it starts gasification.
crazy I didnt know this was the original. Just bought a solo stove titan and there is nothing "knock off" about the quality. its top notch and from what I can see they are identical. I love the bigger size of the titan you get more cooking ability and it is still only a pound.
I always bring a twig stove (mine is an Emberlit and takes up no space and hardly any weight) to accompany my pocket rocket. Having both really doesnt add much weight or take up much room but it allows a HUGE amount of versatility as far as the time it takes to cook, the conservation of fuel, and allows more efficient use depending on what you're cooking. If I am just getting a morning cup of coffee, no need to get the whole twig stove and fire going for that... pop on the Optimus propane stove for 3 minutes and I have coffee. But when I have extra time to spend I can use my twig stove and save propane. I can also use the propane stove much more safely under the overhang of my tent's rainfly if I need to cook while it is pouring rain. Plus one is always a great backup to the other.
Edit: Twig stoves also allow you to cook at less vigorous temperatures as well. At least compared to my Optimus, it seems to only run on medium, high, or BLOWTORCH!
Beauty logo/sticker you got there, that was funny. I love watching you get new stuff and being able to give your opinion on stuff. Yes, another JR video I saved until my food was warmed up to enjoy and watch. TY Joe.
I have the same problem with my titanium cook set....the lid/fry pan just SUCKS at staying on. One other thing, if you do end up with a bit much water, just leave the lid off so it doesn't keep creating the steam/water inside. BUT be careful not to burn it, lol.
Nice outing Joe.
Good gear. I have the 900. It's my main cook kit right now. For the gasifier...use a swede torch style load. Centre gap, tinder under and in middle and you'll get an hour burn with coals. On hardwood. A great demo of this is Peter from Outside edge Bushcraft. I have a vid on it too. Shaky first try but it works.
Cheers bro
Be well
Craig
+Forestwalker111 cool, I'll have to try that, thanks buddy!
Good vid Joe . I have similar setup (solo stove) . I really like it but as good as it is for boiling , it takes a lot of practise to fry anything . It just burns so hot . Bannock in these light frying pans is very difficult .
I have had the same set up for years. The fry pan is conducts heat fast and has a tendency to burn food real fast. Happy to see the bushbuddy and not the ripped off version from the states!
+TomsBackwoods Oh and 4 dog stove makes replacement lids and bails to modify the SP 900. fourdog.com/sp-titanium-pots-and-lids/
I dehydrated my sauce too and used ramen noodles, because they don't take anytime at all to rehydrate. I liked to dehydrate Newman's Own Sockaroonie. I also fried and dehydrated hamburger meat all broken up. After I fried the burger I rinsed it with hot water before I dehydrated it. This got rid of alot of the fat so it wouldn't go rancid.
That has been my setup for years now. Hammock, solo stove, and snow peak 900 set. The only difference, is I went with the Four Dog version with the titanium lid and bail handle added.
Just tried my new Wildstoves Woodstove for last nights overnighter. Super impressed!
Great video Joe. I like the stove a lot. I was thinking the same thing about the lid, not wanting to stay on the pot. Looks like a great combo. I hope you enjoy your canoe trip. I want to do a canoe/back pack trip someday. Thanks for sharing.
You hit the nail on the head, with the Noodles man. Efficiency and Starch!!! Ugh. Cooking your noodles and dehydrating them ,speeds up the process. You can drop a Trangia in it as well if need be. The little twig stoves are more efficient than a camp fire if you want a quick meal and they use way less fuel sources. I'd love to have a Bushbuddy, I use the Solo Stove. Ranger band that lid Dude! Great video man
I have the same kit... The top DOES suck. But it's still amazing at what it does. Used it to melt tons of snow and ice during a trip to the UP in Michigan last winter.
Hey Joe, you absolutely can cook pasta while the sauce and other things rehydrate. Hoop (Wintertrekker) has several great videos explaining his dehydrating/rehydrating process. I now put everything in the pot at once (dried hamburger, dried sauce, dried olives, dried onions, even dried kale or spinach!, and whatever else you like, plus rotini pasta [no poking holes!], and water), bring it to a boil, simmer for 15 mins and dive in! When the pasta is done, everything else has rehydrated.
Joe, I've chosen the Solo Stove system similar to yours. But, my kit looks like this. The Solo Stove with a 900ml Pot and lid, aluminum folding windscreen, the Solo Alcohol Stove, a small 2 oz. fuel bottle, a 1/4 green scrubber pad, a 2 oz. camp soap bottle, a Salt and Pepper Shaker and a Lixada Titanium Gas Stove (smaller than my thumb) and a small gas canister. The whole thing fits in a used Cordura water bottle zippered bag, with room for some home dehydrated food. where my Mors Kochanski Bush Pot used to fit into my pack. This way, regardless of landscape and circumstance, from field to vehicle, to hotel room, I can cook anywhere and get fuel, (In the US, I can go to an Auto Parts Store to buy a Bottle of Heat fuel treatment, (there's my alcohol), I can go to Walmart, DICKS Sporting Goods, or any outdoor store for my gas canister, and of course when in the field, A Vaseline Impregnated Cotton Ball and Pine cones get me started and twigs just keep it going. Nothing Replaces a fire in the firepit. Truly but we live in a time that we need to be prepared for our level of responsibility in the field with fire concerns and our global travel natures. Love your Vids, Thanks
Hi Joe nice set up I have a solo pot and stove set up use it most of the time as wood is easy to find take it out even on day hikes for making lunch and coffee. Have a great summer and keep the videos coming
this thing was the only reason I was able to cook my food one solo kayak trip during a rainy month in the Adirondacks. EVERYTHING was drenched. The little twigs I could find saved it. I was using paper from my med kit as a starter 😂. fun times
ps. lighters are usless in windy wet conditions lol
Hey, thanks for inviting me along on your little adventure into the fields. You don't have to go far off the road to find some solitude, do you? That German Shepherd seems to like it out there, as well. I've got the Solo Stove (which, no doubt, is a shameless copy of the Bush Buddy). I like it though . . . no fuel canister needed. It nests nicely in the Solo Stove 900 SS pot. Thanks for the video.
Good setup. I bring a zip lock to put the pot and stove in. Keeps the rest of the gear from getting blackend. I use a biolite and a msr pot. quite a bit heavier than your setup. Good find and good options on your setup. Also look at getting a EZKut ratcheting pruner. It makes gathering fuel for these stoves up to 1" in diameter a piece of cake. I just cut off a few branches and bring them back to the fire and cut them down to about 5" long and have enough fuel for the stay. The pruners go with me on all backpacks now even with out the stove as they cut briars and clear camping sites fast and easy.
Used my Solo stove on a sixty day holiday in Montana. Works a treat. I'll never again camp without it.
I had one stove similar, the sliverfire stove, its a little bigger. When I use the wood pellet it best time is 2 min boiling 500 ml water, and 5 min 1 liter, about 100 grams pellet for 10 mins burning time. When use wood it is 3:10 boiling 500 ml water. But it rather hard for ignite, and Joe your way is much clever then the instructions
Typically, another good one Joe, thanks for the info bloke. I hope you and you're family are all going great, and i'll sit tight till you're next vid, cheers mate, take it easy 'eh.
Twig burners are great. However, your canister stove that can be lit quickly in case of a capsize is an important safety item whenever traveling by paddle craft. I also always have a packaged wax/sawdust log in my boat for an emergency campfire of driftwood. Heavy but hypothermia is a real killer.
MY 900 BUSH POT IS WAITING FOR MY BUSH BUDDY, I WILL BE GETTING MY HANDS ON THE BUSH BUDDY THIS WEEKEND. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO IT HELPED ME LIGHTEN MY LOAD
Joe ditch the bag like I did on mine. I use a vacuum cleaner replacement pully band that i bought in the vacuum cleaner section at Walmart which is essentially a Uber strong yet stretchy rubber band fits over the whole thing and holds the lid on like a champ with no rattle in your
pack. the mesh bag is good for cordage.
+Tom Lang that makes perfect sense! thanks :)
Your loyal companion dog looks to be having a good time as well.
Cooking with sort of stove is not permitted everywhere in the US. In fact I remember reading a snippet of a thing on the dept of forestry website about being responsible and liable for fire and that in some parks any flame that does not have an off switch like a canister stove might not be permitted. Some parks do not permit axes, saws, or event the collection and combustion of deadfall.
We're leaving for our spring canoe trip this weekend Joe (assuming the ice is out!). Hoping for lots of fish as well. I've used the 900 for a while and ended up buying a simple lid online for it. I didn't find the frying pan much use as everything sticks to it. I love the stick stoves too and now I just bring an alcohol stove or something small as backup. I do like the Firebox best, but it weighs considerably more than the bush buddy.
+Larry Hyett Larry, I think I will look into a different lid as well.
Have a great trip!
Great video. I watch so much of your videos that my cable provider sent me a warning that I was about to exceed my streaming limits..hehehe
Keep them coming joe.
You are right, I cook pasta and then dehydrate, it is much faster to rehydrate them rather than cook them in the field.
Rice beans and lentils, the holy trinity of back packing
Just started watching your videos. Great work man! Truly fun to watch.
I have the exact same rig that I picked up 2-3 years ago. I also roll with a snowpeak titanium stove and a small fuel canister . There are a lot of times I forget to get check the level on the canister and need that solo stove. It just depends on how wet it is before I decide to use one or the other... the solo does burn wet wood if you can get the gasification going first though. I love snow peak gear... I even bent my spork and laughed when I saw yours.. It is the only way it fits in the pot set. The ONLY gripe I have about it is what you showed in your video. That damn lid. It rattles and would be better with a strap or something besides that mesh bag. I swapped a sturdier bag and that helps a little but I still need to get a strap to hold it firm. Otherwise, I am not sure there is a better setup that can burn faster.
Guttentag? Good day in German. The spaghetti is good day? Just pullin' your leg. Good review. I carry a Snow Peak 450 mug inside of a Snow Peak 700 pot, which rides inside of a homemade hobo stove. Very compact, very light, very effeicient. An aluminum flashing wind screen also is inside the hobo stve.
As always thanks for taking us along Joe! Good stuff.
Cook set looks awesome. About your noodles: no as far as I know you can't cook your noodles and sauce at the same time. But if your noodles are as starchy as you described they must be some really cheap noodles. I never have to drain my noodle water as you described nor do I rinse my noodles after cooking. The starch, what little there is helps the sauce stick to the noodles. I purchase Catelli or Barilla noodles. Since I'm enjoying your expert advice I thought I'd pass along some of mine.
love this setup. im still trying to find the right setup for me.. this is pretty close.
one thing people are doing with these recently ive seen is swedish torching it instead of twigs. sawing a small round to fit inside and split and light it. saves the maintaining whike cooking. an option to consider.
R.I.P. DRW. Can you believe the Pav situation?
Fine system. And for the pasta, I dehydrate them just like you do for the same good reasons.
Hey Joe, I just discovered that my Snow Peak 900 Pot fits into a Crown Royal bag like a glove. It will keep the soot on my pot from contaminating my pack my pack. I'll use the mesh bag it came with for something else.
Glad you got that cool piece of kit.
Love how long the videos are. The more Joe the better.
+Capn Heebes glad to hear it!
Hi Joe
Please, please turn each handle on the Snow Peak pot 180 degrees, they fit better in the hand and have less contact with any heat source.
Cheers
try to fillup the stove til right under the wholes, and then light it up from the top that gives you around 45 minuts coocking time , what works too is wrist thick stumps, saw them to the length right under the holesand split them pack the stove tight and light it from the top that will gives you an hour cooking time and it saves you from putting constant wood in. what i often use on short trips is woodpellets those give you an hour but you need a fine maze on yout bottom, because i saw it had a wide maze. good luck, if vyou ever want to hick in norway look me up
+Bushman 412 thanks :)
Thanks for vid! Like always, your videos are kindling for some great ideas! Looks like I'll be re-designing my hobo stove based on the apparent efficiency of this setup.
Looks like a great set up. Also I am super jealous of your 9 day trip.
garlic salt straws, problem solved. flame toasted bread, you always carry butter anyways. can't beat that.
Nice demo Joe, been thinking about one for awhile now got to have one.Give Scout a pat on the head for me.ZZ
just bought my real bush buddy stove. Can't wait.
I've had exactly the same cooking rig since about 2007 and it's excellent. The only addition i made was a small meths burner which i used when cooking in mountain huts (bothies) on my North to the Cape trek in Scotland. Hope yours performed well.
Awesome video bud ! Real jealous about that set-up haha ! Looking forward to all your new videos keep it up !
I like shell and spiral noodles and I don't mind the starch in my sauce so I usually just cook the noodles, drain once and add sauce....BUT I think I will try your method!
thanks again Joe I'll be heading out to pick up the stick stove
Great little stove, please say that canoe trip will have an accompanying 3 or more hour video. I binge watch your vids when I can't get out myself.
+Diabolikal One for sure!
I plan on at least 2 videos from that trip.
Hey Joe, love all your vids bud. As someone working up to solo camping it would be awesome if you'd consider talking a little about dealing with wild animals in a future video. We mainly have coyotes and bobcat where I'm at, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on getting through the night mentally as well as practically. Thanks for the vids!
Nice setup. I use the Bushbox Ultralight Outdoor Pocket Stove as my back up. It weighs in at less than 2.25 oz.! It rocks to for a twig stove and I can use large or small cook pots on it. Great idea on the dehydrating and your shameless plug was funny too! Thanks.
Just one ordered these after watching Doug's new twig stove video. Genuine Bushbuddy too.
It's great to see you using the real Bush Buddy rather than the counterfeit version.
+FireboxStove Thank you,
I just posted a firebox video this evening :)
Interesting to see how this new set up fairs up on your trip, great stuff JR ~Peace~
I love watching bio stove videos! I wouldn't mind seeing some more on this channel.
Enjoyed the video! Might as well take it! You said you were going to take the MSR thing why not take this system also you have to have a pot for the propane stove anyway and it weighs less than the other pot you mentioned plus this way you have 3 ways of cooking! propane, Solo stove, and fire pit three is always better than two! :-) The more ways of doing something the better that's why we practice all these skills! atb
