Excellent review! With such small differences, & because I am on a retiree's fixed income, I cannot justify buying the new version. The old one meets my needs. Thanks. God bless you.
The new version nests better in the Walmart stainless steel cup that costs about five dollars or so. The old Stanley was a little smaller and rattled around in the cup.
With the old set, a cup designed to nest around a nalgene would nest around the set. Any analog for the new one? Will a larger fuel canister fit inside the new one? Will a fuel canister fit in the new one with two cups?
Nice comparison. Would be good visual to hold the 2 pots bottom 2 bottom & then top 2 top to get a better sense of difference in diameter. Or drop the Old pot into new pot???
My stainless steel nalgene fits snug inside the the wildfare upside down (no rattle). No need for the tapered nalgene version. There's still about an inch of dead volume due to the taper, perfect for some tea packets etc., and my olicamp stainless steel cup fits just as snug over the bottom of the stanley. With the wider stanley an added bonus is the cup lip can be pressed into the stanley lip, locking it in place. Lastly, for those who carry the firebox 5" G2, it fits nicely into the boil plate with no need to use the firesticks for bottom support. The handle comes off relatively easy for separate pack storage.
Warm greetings from South Africa! Thank you for an excellent review and comparison of the new & the old Stanleys. I have the old version and see no reason to "upgrade" to the newer & bigger unit. I did however remove the original plastic handle on the lid, and replaced it with a stainless steel ring, which works a treat for me. Thanks again for a great comparison of the two!
First question I had when seeing them side by side. Instant sell for me if so. I have 2 of the old style, so no rush to get a new one unless it adds functionality to the old set.
Nice bit of kit, I can see how the wide profile at the top, coming further down will help nest bigger cups, and 750Ml is a much more useful quantity, enough for two big mugs of coffee. Will a gas cannister nest inside the new cups?
The handle can be removed by pinching it together and pulling out one side at a time. So, nesting the water bottle can be useful using that technique to allow fitment into a tighter space.
Since you answered in your other video you showed that the $5 cup fit over the base, then agree with you. The "why" of a cup that nests with a Nalgene but the handle gets in the way boggles me. I have a few of the older Adventure cups, and they slip into a $5 cup, and a 28oz peanut butter jar fits in those perfectly with the lid going over the top. All the smalls of my "wasn't planning on staying out tonight" kit fit in that jar. If it had the butterfly handles, instant YES, but as is... I've got a couple that work how I want.
I have the original Adventure set. I will be getting this new one. One thing I have yet to find is a good Stainless Steel Pot or Cup that will nest on the Kleen Kanteen Single Wall Stainless Wide Mouth 64oz Water Bottles. I have two 64oz bottles and two Maxpedition 12" x 5" large water bottle pouches. I just need a pot to nest on the 64oz bottle and fit in the Maxpedition Pouch. Ideally, to be able to fit two pots (top and bottom) over one water bottle and still fit it all in the pouch. Handles on the pot is not necessary but would be nice.
I have the original Stanley Adventure Cook Kit...that cook pot is my most often used cook gear; bought years ago for $17.00...best stainless steel cook pot deal around. Based on that, decided to get the new updated Wildfare Go kit. The original cook pot was 24-oz, this new one is 32-oz...I like the little larger diameter.
Yes it does. I scooped one up today and it fits like a glove 🦾. Also ordered this nice green canvas pouch made for it off Etsy. But yeah I could only find it at REI.
@@CowboySurvival I just searched for Stanley Wildfare and it came up. Quick shipping too. Fits the set great with a lil room to maybe toss a spoon or two on the side. Definitely quality material for the $35 price tag.
I have had my old one for like ten years and have never used it camping. I put ice cubes in it and when im done drinking it i throw it in my freezer and freeze the ice cubes again. I can use it about three times before the ice is gone and i wash it. I have no idea where the cups are they probably got borrowed and never came back. Probably my brother LOL
Nalgene does makes two different stainless steel bottles. One is tapered and does nest in the original adventure cup. The other stainless nalgene bottle is identical to the plastic one liter bottle. I removed the handle on my original adventure cup and put it into my cook kit. If you invert an open stainless bottle into the stainless cup, you can create a sealed chamber to char material. I believe that is one of the reasons for the re-design. The one liter size also allows for chemical disinfection of water. Thanks for the video.
to me, the whole point of the Stanley is that it contains my cups, tea bags and heating system. I dont have room for a water bottle to nest in it, and I think the stuff being in one place( the Stanley) is better than just having a place to stack your water bottle.
Hey bud quick question. Is it totally flat on the bottom? Curious if I can use It on an induction cooktop as well as camp fire or propane stove. Thank you
The Adventure Cookset is one of my favorite pieces of gear, so I might have to give the new one a look. I do like the compact nature of the old one, since space is really a consideration for a backpack.
Nice video, thanks for sharing it with us. I like your vest, can you tell me more about it? Who makes it, where you bought it etc.. JT Barren County, KY
I've thought about a Stanley kit, but I just don't think having only one pot is very versatile, and I have no use for a pair of 10 oz. nesting cups. So I recently purchased from Amazon a Kokkoya kit which has a 33 oz. pot with a perforated lid with s/s D-ring handle, plus a 24 oz. pot which the larger nests into, plus a mesh carrying bag. Fits a liter Nalgene perfectly. They're fairly heavy-gauge stainless with butterfly handles, and seem like they'll last a long time. $17.58 which I think is pretty good. I don't want to support Stanley because I think they've lost their minds. The cook kits aren't bad price-wise, but some of their other products are WAY overpriced. They're turning into another Yeti. Anyway, just suggesting an alternative to the name brands.
A lot of people used to mod the handle on the old set to make it easier to remove for nesting various bottles inside. I personally never saw the point in that. I wish this new version was titanium with a titanium nesting cup for outside the cook pot (it’s what most of their customers were already pairing with the old set anyway).
Bought a Stanley kit years ago. Looks similar. Nice bit of kit but the cups are still poor in my opinion. It put fuel and a stove with a cloth inside of mine
The cups are absolutely great little insulated cups. They are heavy though, which I don’t like. I moved my cups over to my Stanley stainless steel French Press.
"DOUSE" , now that is a word I haven't heard anyone using for years. Good practical demonstration of the new cookset, with a comparison to the old style set.
@@MichaelTheophilus906 For your information. . . DOWSE = search for water with a divining rod, usually made of wood. . . . DOUSE (rhymes with mouse) = put out with water. They do sound very similar.
I Don't Like It ! .... Personally I think they mashed it up. People have figured out how to create a nesting system using the old Stanley adventure cook set. By doing what they've done with the redesign. That crushed it. Of course for me I've moved past the Stanley kit. I'M NOW USING A NESTING TITANIUM COOK SET ! ( my 3-piece titanium cook set. Is lighter than the entire Stanley pot by itself without the cups )
That price won't last for long. I have the old one and always wished it was bigger. I don't care about those plastic garbage cups. Lid seem much better. One should note if thinking about buying from Stanley what they did with tools. For close to 100 years buying a Stanley tool meant you knew you had a good tool. That is a long time to build/have a relationship with your customers, only to suddenly give them all the finger and start selling ONLY garbage tools.
@@CowboySurvival The old one retailed for $12-$15 at Walmart and Target before they were pulled off the shelves when Stanley went mainstream with their straw cups. Target had them on sale for $8 when this happened. They have a new targeted audience and a market full of people who are willing to spend more money on their “viral” product line.
You missed the point. You wouldn't know the differences ('minute' or not) unless you'd seen the comparison video. I thought it was interesting and useful. If you didn't, no one was forcing you to watch.
Excellent review! With such small differences, & because I am on a retiree's fixed income, I cannot justify buying the new version. The old one meets my needs. Thanks. God bless you.
I think it is a great improvement to offer more versatility.
I already nest a cup….
Why not the pot too??
How much bigger at the base?? My current fits the Firebox stove perfectly. Wondering if the newer version will slide in it
The new version nests better in the Walmart stainless steel cup that costs about five dollars or so. The old Stanley was a little smaller and rattled around in the cup.

Never had this set, can you hang it over a fire from the handle? If so, the rounded handle would keep your line centered.
@@Collin_Calling not by the handle. It isn't designed for that. Though in my video for next week, I will show how it can be hung by lid handle.

Very cool! Nice to see an update
These guys at Stanley should have consulted with you. Excellent job Cowboy!

@@CowboySurvival Hey bud just in case anyone else asks you. I found out it is induction top friendly. Have a great evening. 👍🏻
@@gretchen_jku2051 it is not totally flat. Has a similar bottom to the old version.

What is the weight of kit, pot and lid as well?
What is the pot made of?
Stainless steel. Weight and all specs are listed on the REI website (which is currently the only place you can buy it).
The pot by itself weights 6.7 ounces
You can remove the handle when nesting a Nalgene. It is removable.
Besides the bigger size and contents, the new version is made to nest perfectly into a GSI stainless steel cup or comparable titan cups.
Good info. Thanks!
