DIY Ultralight Windshield for Hiking

- A tutorial for making an ultralight windshield for a hiking stove. Windshields save fuel and help your pot heat up quicker. This design is based on my hiking stove but can be modified to fit most if not all hiking gas stoves.
You can buy the same pot here: www.amazon.com...

Wind is such a problem when camping. I just can't believe the can't come up with this brilliant idea.
Nice design. I think this is the first home made gas stove wind screen I have seen. Thanks for sharing
What a brilliant video! This has given me so many great ideas! Thanks 😊
the camera man is so good at his job and keep up the good work you will be famous yet
06:33 You're going to damage the... oh you got it covered. 🙂
It is NOT rust. Aluminium does not rut it us oxidation and is harmless. Just hit with some steel wool.
I was doing this over 6 yrs ago. MSR was doing it over 40yrs ago. But good job.
Great idea.I tried this with a Coke can and nearly sliced my fingers off, your version looks a lot easier so I will give it a go. Great demo thanks.
They are quite easy once you get the hang of it.
Awsome video. Just what I was looking for. Great "McGuyver" solution. Thanks heaps :)
Greeting from Hong Kong and thank you very much for your sharing. Great tutorial
Thumbnail caption got me! "Windshield" in the U.S. is part of a motor vehicle -- but the Brits call it a windscreen . . . so is our UL hiker so fast she needs something in front of her head to make the trail more comfortable? Oh wait, there's cooking paraphernalia on the table . . .
I used 3 snap buttons to double up the screen For the 7 inch need so it fits in my short pot. Trivial weight difference.
Super helpful thank you!
Very cool great idea! Thanx for sharing this 👍
Great job.
How about using a trangia triangle as a windscreen ? Depending on the size of your pot though.
Good video- I’d make one following your tutorial- but can I have your old one??
Brilliant
I'd like to see comments from anyone who made and actually used this design in the field.
Unless adequate space is maintained between pot and the windshield, the thin aluminum will burn. Over the years, I've tried several variations including this one with little success. In order to maintain sufficient space so your windshield doesn't go up in flames requires a larger windshield with a wider diameter when wrapped around the pot/stove than she is showing in this video. Sorry, but this is one of those ideas that works under controlled conditions but fails in the field.
A free-standing windscreen can be adjusted to accommodate changes in wind direction and doesn't get hot. The simplest design that I currently use is the same aluminum tray cut into six separate panels that are taped together with duct tape. This folds flat, takes up no room in a pack, and can be supported with tent stakes. It also doesn't get in the way when I need to adjust the pot or the stove. The point is not to focus the heat toward the pot but only to protect it from the wind.
Need to poke a few holes around bcs gas does need some ventilation too..
There's a big hole in the front around the fuel knob.
nice, but any other ideas for more simple windshield?
I have seen now you can buy simple windshields that clip on to your gas cylinder. These wouldn't be as light though. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fp%2F875415581
So pretty!
Quick question- you mentioned a link to where you found the pot on amazon, what was it?
Sorry must have missed that in editing. The link is: www.amazon.com.au/Dolity-Titanium-Lightweight-Foldable-Tableware/dp/B07KX8R3QL/ref=mp_s_a_1_213?keywords=titanium+mug&qid=1561061728&s=gateway&sr=8-213 however there are many similar or the same pots for similar prices on eBay and Amazon so I recommend hunting around for the best deal.
Is this a pretty safe option as far as canister overheating goes?
The fact the windshield does not trap heat around the canister as it is off the ground makes it a lot safer. But it is home made so can't guarantee safety 🙂.
Shouldn't be a problem. The canister is open.
That music 🙉🙉🙉
Life's tough ..
İ made it from a plastic dossier. it was very light
Light is good. Did you have any problems with it melting?
@@LikingHiking Actually i never tried :) but i dont think so.
@@egeolgun1944 ???
@@thomasmusso1147 Yes i tried and it worked very well. Didnt melt but dont to much closer. İ used something like dossier inside tunnels with elestic strap. You can bend six parts and open holes at the bottom for stakes. İt will does the job.
You’re a beautiful young lady and you did a very wonderful job thank you bye-bye
if there is any wind, that windshield will be blown away in the first second.
The 1st?
She said her old one worked. I believe her. Why are you posting uselessly wrong guesses?
@@DarxusC it is not a wrong GUESS...I tested it in low wind and I could not make it stay in place. This is a fact, not a guess
@@alynparaschiv I do not believe you.
@@DarxusC like I care if you believe me or not. As long as you didn't tested it by yourself you are the one who's making wrong guesses.
