Nice job 😃 Audio quality very clear Chris and image crystal clear as well - no misting on the lens! Interestingly, I find snow melt water often tastes different to regular stream water, even in tea/coffee. Not sure why.
Thanks. I find snow melt water tastes different too, it tastes flat somehow. I shake it in the bottle or stir it vigorously in the pot and that restores the normal taste to some extent.
In those conditions yes. A light breeze and no snowfall meant any tent or shelter would have done. It was forecast to be much windier though and of course conditions can change quickly in the mountains. I haven't used the SoloMid XL in the snow yet but I have used the Duomid XL and the Trailstar in snow quite a few times.
It's always struck me how inefficient stoves are, so anything the reduces that is good by me. Basically it's a heat sink to absorb and transfer as much of the heat as possible to the contents. All of the designs out there could be a lot better, but that would add weight eg channelling the heat around the sides.
Great tutorial Chris, thanks. 😊
Excellent pot
Been using for years
Good quality
Goid tip on stirring at start
A lot of snow needed

Awesome video Chris, really enjoyed.
Thanks 👍
Cool!
Can I ask what kind of gas was used here? And what tricks you are using to make it work better in a cold?
The gas was just a standard GoSystems isobutane/propane one. The only trick was using a heat exchanger pot and a regulated stove.
Would be a Solomid XL tent sufficient for those conditions ?
