Nice video you Guys! I do Search and rescue i the middle of Norway, and on most call outs I pack a MSR Windburner personal stove and a Gas canister. Only downside is in the wintertime at low temperatures, where you need to keep the Gas close to your body as it looses effectivenes in the cold. Haveing a way to warm liquids is absolutely important, and potentially a lifesaver! Stay safe, and keep makeing great youtube content :)
Thank you for the comment. We are fortunate enough to be in a "moderate" climate with the average temperatures in the mid 40s year round. The little Coghlin stove is very light and is super easy and adequate for us. If we end up going out to another county or in severe weather I'll consider using my Jet Boil stove. - Joe
Warm liquid improves our hands' dexterity. During my hikes, sometimes my fingers get very cold, and I cannot unbutton my pants to pee, take off my boots, or turn key in the lock. Hot tea helps a lot
👍👍👍 Having warm / hot liquids close at hand during cold weather is all too often overlooked. During the cooler months, I carry a 300ml (minimum) Thermos Flask, filled before leaving home, with Boiling Water / Tea / Coffee / Bouillon, depending on my planned activity. Before leaving the stop where I had used the contents of the Flask, I refill it with at the very least, boiling water or one of the other, bouillon being my favourite. A good share, thanks. Take care ..

Great comment and reminder of thinking outside the box. Warm liquids can be a total game changer for sure! - Lance

It's that balance between stove/fuel weight, and any time of year "fast" heating of liquid.
It is truly amazing how much of SAR is a balance of gear. Too much, we are survivalist, too little and we are un-prepared. - Lance
