you hi my name's Liv today we're going to talk about the differences in backpacking stoves and the fuel that they need oftentimes I'm asked what kind of stove should I bring backpacking with me it's a really great question and there are a whole lot of options out there we're gonna try to cut it down into two camps so first you've got your canister stoves that are gonna be a little bit more convenient right off the bat honestly and then you've got your white liquid gas stoves they're gonna be a lot more versatile so looking at our canister stoves you've got a pre pressurized pre measured out amount of gas in this little canister here you've generally got lighter weight systems to go with them within canister stoves you're looking at your integrated systems which is the burner and the pot all included in one there for you or you've got your lighter weight option that's just the burner you will have to bear in mind that you're bringing your own pot or a cup to that game there so these guys are extremely easy to use there's no priming required anything like that you just light and go now the downside to this kind of stove is that while you've got a convenient pre-measured pre pressure I just canister these guys can be really hard to recycle and the fuel isn't as widely available in other markets or other countries as they are here so trying to come about the proper fuel to use can get you into a little bit of a pickle if you happen to be traveling our other option here this liquid yes you've got a refillable canister which is this guy right here this is the gas that just goes into it so having a refillable bottle you're already a little bit more on the eco friendly side with the kwid canisters but these guys we've got a stove that can perform a lot better at high elevations as well as in cold temperatures so if you happen to be pursuing a mountainous endeavor you might want to go with a liquid stove versus a canister you can also use depending on the stove that you're getting multiple types of fuel with these stove systems here in the liquid camp you can use kerosene unleaded even aviation fuel with some stoves so no matter where you're traveling chances are there's something liquid that you can burn put into this canister and get your fire going there for you the downside to these liquid canted liquid stoves is that they're gonna be a little bit heavier and a little bit bulkier but you can preset the amount of fuel that you need to use so you can help kind of curtail that that weight difference there what it comes down to with these different stove systems here is just knowing where you're going and what your activity includes back packing quick over a night trip you're not going to be anywhere too cold or too high up in elevation go with the canister system if maybe you're doing a little bit more of an Alpine ascent style adventure you might want something that's going to be a little bit more reliable with those colder and higher temperatures we've also got a video for you that can help you decide if you go the way of a fuel canister how much fuel is left in your canister that's usually the biggest mystery surrounding this particular type of fuel and we can help you cut through the static with that all right have a great one guys thank you this is the mystery ranch Stein at 62 liters and a mere four point seven pounds this is the lightest expedition bag we've ever made by utilizing a lightweight 400 Denia ripstop nylon full carbon fiber framing this lightweight expedition bag can still handle loads up to 75 pounds the main pack bag can be accessed two ways one via a full length side zip with a urethane coated zipper or two underneath the lid via and expanding shroud external features include two detailed pockets on the front of the pack bag both with urethane coated zips dual side compression dual side water bottle pockets as well as dual ice loop carry with bungee attached on the daisy chain front pack bag the sleeping bag compartment can be accessed through our unique speed zip design this construction allows a much longer zipper which reduces stress as well as creates a much wider opening especially for bulkier sleeping bags inside you'll find a compression strap which not only secures the load but keeps pressure off of the zipper also included a divider to separate the sleeping bag from the main compartment of the pack bag the stein lid is divided into two compartments one for better organization and two to create much better compression should you have anything overloaded on top of the pack bag such as a helmet or a climbing rope the lid is fully removable simply by releasing the two side release buckles on the front two on the back and one in the head space the stein lid can also be converted into a simple little day pack simply by removing the harness from the pack bag and installing it into the hydration compatible day pack lid to do so simply remove the side release buckles on the top of the yoke and unthread the webbing on the bottom of the shoulder pads then by using the same process of which to adjust the torso remove the adjuster and break the velcro seal along the body panel this will allow the entire yoke to be removed from the pack bag on the bottom of the lid you'll find a separate compartment that can be utilized to accommodate the yoke simply take the frame sheet adjuster slide it in and your yoke in between the adjuster next remove the adjuster to secure the velcro from the yoke to the lid and the adjuster slides back into the yoke to complete the process simply take the side release buckles from the yoke attach them back to the lid and thread the angle cut web through the bottom of the shoulder pad to transition the Stein lid into a simple hydration compatible little day pack hi and welcome to another Tita on sports getting to know video today we're taking a look at our tracker plus five degrees Fahrenheit mummy
