    People dinigrate the Stanley cups, but I use mine very regularly. Guess its a case of the proverbial ,"Different strokes for different folks". If we all wanted the same thing, there would never be enough to supply everyone.

    Hi Ernie,
    Thanks for the video and the shout-out!!!
    I'm glad you like the Cook Set, and enjoy it!!!
    I agree, I'm also not a fan of the cups. They are not part of my kit either.
    I can't wait to see how you kit out this Cook Pot in the future!
    Thanks again for the shout-out!

    The crazy thing is, The Adventure set is now $25.00 on Amazon... WOW has it gone up! When I bought mine (5 Sets), they were
    $7.99 on Amazon. I made cook kits for all 3 of my Daughters as they love Backpacking like me. They love the Stanley Cup for boiling
    water for free dried meals & pour-over Coffee. I love the original for its size. I never used the Cups, but they went into a Camping
    Chuck Box where the Wife uses them for her Coffee. If i was in the market for a new set, I'd definitely buy the Wildfair kit for $20.00
    in a Heartbeat. Incidentally, I still have an old Green Stanley Coffee Thermos I bought when I was 18. I'm 56 now & still use it all the
    time, so that's a testament to Stanley quality IMHO. Thanks for Video of this little Gem.

    Thanks to whoever for sending that new kind of adventure pot kit so you can test it out, and I look forward to you fielding tests on your upcoming trip because I know you’ll do something more than just boil water. I don’t have the old one, which is good because I think I’d put this in my earthquake/wildfire evacuation GoBag. Several years ago I got directly from Stanley their new Adventure Stainless Steel Camping Cook Set for Two (1 L pot with locking handle similar to what you showed, lid with straining holes & that silicone tab that stands up, 2 sporks, & 2 nesting bowls). I find this simple kit is great for one or 2 people, isn’t full of a bunch of spatchlas or serving spoons that I don’t need. Unlike those cups in your little kit, the bowls are large enough for soup or oatmeal without being too big. I used it to make soups while I stayed out of state at a friend’s apt while she was in hospital, so it was good in kitchen as well as camping.

    Thanks for the review. I like my Adventure Cup for trips when I only need to boil water. Like you, I hate the cups and never use them. I did, very quickly after purchasing, remove the plastic handle on the lid. I replaced it with a split ring from a keychain which can be snapped upright. It’s good to see that Stanley has fixed that design flaw. If I were buying a new kit, I would get the upgraded model. However I don’t plan to spend $20 just to replace the lid of my old cup which works just fine.

    I used mine yesterday with the 5" firebox. I was pleasantly surprised that it fit into the boil plate up to where it tapers. This put the pot at about the right height with the Trangia sitting on the firesticks in the first set of slots ( I hope that makes since).This makes the firebox a windscreen and an efficient pot-stand. Anyway great pot. I am sure it will get lots of use just like my Stanley Adventure. P.S You also can fit the small(110g) isobutane cylinders inside the pot.

    The old one is tall and top-heavy, pretty much the opposite of what you want for cooking around a campfire. I've lost a few meals to this tippy pot on uneven ground. And my lid lifter melted away pretty quickly.
    I could see this pot working really well with a caldera cone setup, though. The caldera cone would give it a great deal of stability and allow the flame of an alcohol stove to heat the sides of the pot as well as the bottom.

Put that into a generic water bottle carrier with a lighter, a spork, some tea bags and spices in the outside pouch and I'd be set.

    Inspired by review I ordered this version and have the older cook kit. The newer one is slightly larger (wider) than the older one. The cups are consequently slightly larger and a different color. At the bottom of the packaging it says "designed in Seattle" but made "ethically" in China. The new pot is 231g vs 224g (so heavier), 19.8mm inner width vs 19.5mm. The cups are 84g vs 83g each. I really like the new lid as well and am unlikely to use the cups!

    This new one could possibly be unstable on some stoves.
    Also you don't get the lightweight sporks.
    I expect it has its place.

  • @bjbackitis
    @bjbackitis 10 днів тому

    I've used the old one for more years than I'd like to admit, I have the new one and haven't touched the old one ever since. The lid is a game changer, plus the difference in the profile where it stays wider farther down from the top really makes a difference in what you can store inside for packing as a kit. My stainless steel cup still slides onto the bottom but it doesn't quite go all the way in, leaving some space there for packing a sponge. I did the same bail handle conversion that I did on the old one, with a stainless steel hose clamp around the outside top edge and a couple of split rings (no drilling into the pot itself) so I can hook a stainless steel fishing leader to allow the pot to hang over a fire more easily... works like a champion. You're going to love it even more as you use it, trust me. Great video as always!

    I have the whole collection, and I think the Stanley 1.1 is the best. It's shorter and wider, which makes stuff heat quicker because of it's broader base instead of the flame getting wasted running up the side of a smaller diameter pot. Try comparing the two boiling two cups of water and I'll bet the 1.1 Stanley will win.
