@@JohnMillwoodOutdoors thanks John for replying. I had forgotten. It gave me the opportunity to revisit video. Glad I did. I saw things I missed first time. Thanks 🔥
The Nano is a great piece of gear. I carry it on every trip to the woods. It's just so small and compact. Great for the solo backpacker. Even when you add on all the accessories, the footprint is still small. Thanks for watching!
@@howler6490 If I understand correctly, you are talking about the hinged plate that folds down into the base of the stove. I use both methods, with the plate down and up. I had the plate up when using the torch method. I had it down when I was feeding sticks in from the bottom two slots. I have never tried the torch method with the base plate down. I will have to give that a try. Thanks for watching and posting a comment.
Those mIni Inferno fire starters are simple to make. Go to the cosmetic center in the grocery store. Look for the round cotton pads , about 2 , 1/4 inches across the center. They are smooth on one side and dimpled on the other just like the ones you are using. At home melt some candle wax in something you don't use ( a old coffee can works ). When the wax is melted take and drop a pad in it , immediately retrieve the pad ( it will soak up the melted wax quickly ) and set it on some tin foil to dry. You want some wax in the pad but not 100 % saturated. They are easier to fluff if not totally saturated. In the field , cut one in half , fluff it up , light it and you have a fire. For a quick hot beverage I like to use a small alcohol stove as the heat source in the Nano. Found a new one , the Goshawk EDDY-X-NEW Siphon Alcohol stove Steampunk EDDY-X. It comes to a bloom in 12 to 15 seconds.
Thanks for the tip. I'll have to try making some of these. I have a friend that melts candle wax mixed with dryer lint and pours it into a cardboard egg crate. They make great fire starters. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Good multi use video demoing the nano. I have mine and used it some, plan to take it hiking every time. Already had it's big brother G2 stove. Great for bigger fires, but heavy for hiking. Subscribed from Ohio!
@@JohnMillwoodOutdoors nano’s are a bit like gold dust at the moment in the UK. Out of stock. So on the hunt, hope to get one soon. Titanium would be nice but may have to settle for what I can get.
The Nano is a great little stove for the solo backpacker. I think it's fun to cook with. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for commenting and watching!
You can get this canteen set at Self Reliance Outfitters. Below is a link. I like the leg because it stabilizes the cup when you have it in a fire. Great piece of gear in my opinion. It will last a lifetime and then some. Thanks for watching! www.selfrelianceoutfitters.com/products/gen2-pathfinder-stainless-steel-canteen-cooking-set?variant=24814435073
Good video, and you seemed to really put it through its paces, but your times seemed a bit on the long side. Do you think maybe you stacked it a bit too high? Like the wood should not go higher than the sides. Otherwise the fire can get a bit choked or be running up the side more than the bottom. I'm not sure, since I'm very familiar with it's big brother, which will build water in just a few minutes, but is heavy for solo. I also like this stove because it is designed to work with the Trangia. Nice to have both options
You are right, I stacked it too high and choked it off. After several trips, I'm starting to catch on. I like this little stove; it's great for a solo backpacker. Thanks for watching and commenting!
John Millwood Outdoors Your welcome, and thanks for the review. I'm almost sure I'll be picking this one in the new year, because the full sized firebox is a bit of overkill for a solo trip or just to boil a cup of water. Stick stoves take time to get used to, and I hope my experience with the bigger one will make it a short learning curve. Merry Christmas!
It's called a fish mouth spreader and/or bottle hanger. You can find them on Amazon. I bought mine on the Self Reliance Outfitter web site, but they are currently out of stock. It's a good piece of gear and works great for getting your water bottle off the fire. Thanks for watching.
It depends on the season. In the winter or when it's nasty weather, you can get a spot. If you're able to get started early on a Friday you have a better chance. I like to camp in any condition except for high winds and lightning, but I normally use my vacation days and go during the week instead of weekends because of this problem. Oak Mountain will not let you reserve a backcountry site in advance. It's first come first serve and you have to check with the main campsite on arrival for availability.
This stove is great if you want to pay $79 to boil water in a half hour. I’ve watched several reviews for these little nano firebox stoves; There are stoves that are only a little bit larger, also titanium and very lightweight that will not only boil water in 10 mins or less, but also have the ability to make a meal in a fry pan or pot in less than 30 mins. This little nano firebox retails at $79.00…, the only advantage is the tray it sits on. Other titanium portable stoves are about $34 - $40. I see no advantage to this stove at all. You can easily make a bottom tray for any portable stove.
ehm, u forgot to put down the bottom shelf, that's where u should put the wood. It's not supposed to lay directly on the case. ^^ See u put it down later in the video. What do u use charcloth for?
I use the charcloth to start a fire using flint and steel. Below is a link to one of my older videos showing the process. Thanks for watching and commenting! ua-cam.com/video/RG3vBzhBVRg/v-deo.html
Those are the UCO Titan Stormproof matches. You need to get some. Make sure you get the Titan. It's the longer match. It has about a 25 second burn time. You can find them on Amazon.

That's a good question, and I'm not sure. So far as of to date, the case is holding up nicely, but over time, I would think the hinges would be the first thing to give. The case is made of a much heavier metal as compared to an altoids tin. It's kept its shape and has not warped, and I use it often. I also keep mine dry and try not to let it get wet for long periods of time. Thanks for commenting and watching!
Char cloth is a low heat ignition source to obtain an ember that can be blown into a flame. I single spark from flint & steel landing on the char cloth is enough to create the ember.
