Lots of reviews on line; yours is top notch. What especially stands out is your mix and match idea.

Have had a triplex for about 5 years. Wasn’t aware of the offset trio. I’ve only ever used it as a single or 2 person, 3 would work but definitely see advantage of the offset if you are with 3. For 2 I think I like the triplex over the offset due to each person having a big vestibule to keep their pack etc. also 3 adults is just a weird number of people for a tent. Who are these 3 ppl? Close friends? A couple and their platonic 3rd wheel? I’ve only ever camped with my date or myself or a buddy. If I had 2 buddies we’d each be in our own tent.

NICE REVIEW..." "NOT" ..BS The best stove / burner is Coleman Peak ,442, Coleman fuel. ! Portable Smaller than your fuel tank that is NOT REFILLABLE, GARBAGE fuel in cold , highly unavailable in country stores EVERYWHERE.. I CANNOT, BE more condemning Coleman fills and burns for hours, how long does your can last 30 minutes? Mine doubles as a hand warmer in real cold, lights EVERY TIME EASILY.. Fuel Can be removed to Start other fires.. all you environmental engineers are packing FUDGE!! COLEMAN Duel fuel stove, several models STABLE, IN FACT hunting out of hotels ive cooked dinnrr for 3 people steaks potatoes boilwater for coffee thermoses and heat in the woods on 1 tank..fuel available everywhere Get real.. What do you do with your EMPTY FUEL CANS ?? Back packers!!! LOL..

You guys helped sell me on this tent. I have an original Durston X-mid Pro 2, which has been great, but I had some trouble fitting into smaller tent sites at times. I can do a "skinny pitch" with it, but I really don't like that setup. I love the palacial experience of sleeping in a larger tent, so this seemed as close as I could get to that in a 1P setup that also takes up a lot less space than my X-mid. I'll still keep/use the X-mid a ton, but this should be great when I want to ensure I can fit in any spot available. Really looking forward to trying it out! Quick question, I ended up deciding on the Offset Solo over the Altaplex due to the better/more convenient feature set, but it also seems like the Altaplex requires a lot of space around it for stakes. Would it be accurate to say that the stake-out points on the Altaplex require more space around the tent than those of the Offset Solo? Basically, seemed to me like the Offset Solo might actually be easier to fit in small spaces that have bushes or rocks around that might get in the way of stake-out points.

Over priced junk what are you dressed up as 😂😂😂

Great review; thank you!

I bought the MSR PocketRocket 2 (not deluxe). Room temp 16oz bottle water, 71 f outside using a 100g fuel canister at 100 ft sea level. Lit stove on a very low simmer, poured in 16 oz water into the Stash pot.. lifted Stash Pot onto PocketRocket 2, and cranked it to HIGH and timer on!.. 1 min 17 sec. 450g fuel canister resulted in 62 seconds. (again 71f outside). Stoves that will fit (I tested the fit of these 3 stoves) in the Stash like the origional stove will be " GSI Outdoors Pinnacle Canister Stove " , " MSR PocketRocked 2 stove " and " Snow Peak LiteMax Stove ". Snow Peak pot stands fold like the Stash burner, 3 together.

have you tried the Denali One Backpacking Cook Stove?

I love my Jetboil Stash but it struggled heavily at -8°F on a trip. My go to for three seasons is the OmniLite Ti and white gas. My best four season and storm performing stove is a Trangia 25 with a Nova burner using an amish mix of kero and white gas (75/25). The Trangia works in 80mph sustained winds with up to 140mph gusts (tested during a hurricane). My absolute performer, ease of use with a glove, etc stove for cold weather and 100% reliability is an Optimus 111 burning kero.

How does it do against mosquitos? Can they bite through it?

Hey Allan thanks for doing this deep dive

Nice overview, i find myself enjoying my tarp more then my tent these days

Thanks for the detailed information. I am planning on using for a slightly different situation, that is probably less common, but I'm sure not uncommon. I want to be able to go to places that out of cell phone range, but be able to receive emergency text messages. (I'm helping care for some sick family members) So in case of emergency, I can quickly pack up and head home. Usually I am not backpacking so weight is not an issue. It seems like the zoleo is the obvious answer since my primary use case is someone texting me in emergency and I'm able to get the text, despite being out of cell phone range.

Are there free standing tents that are also of this weight/size you’d recommend?

Curious if you tried the Pocket Rocket Deluxe with the Reactor pot?

So what's the best configuration that can do high BTU but also SIMMER?

Just an FYI: The tent stakes have been upgraded. They are top-notch!

I was informed that SOS still works with emergency services even without an account (monthly subscription) is this true?

Where can I get a thermarest neoair women's xlite? I can't find it anywhere.

You should ditch the toilet paper and use a small bidet. Far cleaner and less waste

Great reviews....very helpful!

it's funny that you refer to that lightweight mummy bag as a "traditional" bag. Traditional bags to me have a wide cut and they use cotton or other fabrics for insulation, which work without needing a sleeping pad but they're heavy as hell.compared to modern bags and they don't pack down.

Great review thank you.

I’m surprised Bulin remote canister stoves don’t get compared in these line ups - at a lower price point they offer similar systems to that MSR reactor & jetboil with faster boil times.

Why didn't you use the tie-outs on the Triplex? They are there for a reason. Internal volume would have been much more similar if you had.

Great comparison Alan’s friend.

Another brilliantly executed film man! Bravo

Really great overview. I was looking at the Offset solo for my "just me" trips but wound up getting the new Duplex Lite for the better interior space. I did add the end poles that the offset series uses to get more interior room if I dont want to use the "find a stick to use as a prop" that I'd been using previously with the Gossamer Gear The One I was replacing.

You've got a major flaw with your methods. You didn't control for gas canister size. The smaller canisters are going to get cold faster, and that is going to affect the efficiency to a higher degree, especially in the stoves without regulators. You should use all the same kinds of gas in the same size can with the same amount of gas in each can to control for those three variables. The level of gas in a canister can also have a large effect. Unfortunately, your data here is not good because you have way too many variables.

I watched your RUclips video. Your every video is really awesome. But your channel and your videos expect more views and subs. I analyzing Your RUclips channel and I found RUclips video SEO is not done. This is why your video is not going viral and views are not increasing.

I used this combo all of '23 for over 30 days from mid summer temperatures down to ~ 25F. The fuel efficiency is great, it works well in wind, the pot is an ideal size, and I like that it's aluminum so I can do some slow cooking directly in the pot if I want (though I just freezer bag cook). This spring I'm going to dremel some grooves in the base to drop the pot down (like the Firemaple) so the burner is closer to the pot's bottom. I figure this will help even more in wind and shouldn't cause any flame quenching because the PRD is designed to work that close to a pot. Care will be needed to not overheat the fins though, but that's easy to watch for. All in all a great combo. Expensive but I'm glad I sprang for it.

I have the last stove it's perfect it fits perfect in my dualist

This from a guy with a zip collar and a button collar! That 200 smackers is nothing.

Surprised there is no mention of the Petrel. With a Windmaster TriFlex it's considerably cheaper than a jetboil, and the stove and canister both nest inside the pot. The problem with the stash pot is it is quite unstable on stoves not designed for it. The Petrel has slots that make the whole thing much more secure. Only downside is if you want to carry a 230g canister, it won't fit inside the Petrel.

How tall are you? I'm 6ft 4in and I'm thinking of ordering this tent but I don't know that it's long enough. What do you think?

One of my favorite canister stove combos as far as wind resistance and fuel economy is the Soto Windmaster with the Fire Maple .8L XT1 kettle with heat exchanger technology. This kettle is fairly wide at 5 3/4 inches. It would be a little awkward to cook in it but for boiling water it works for me.

The best backpacking stove? Snow Peak Giga Auto wins in my book.

Some people like to waste their money on over priced MSR

Just bought the soto windmaster from REI - 20% off for members so got it for $55 and free shipping! I had rewards that are now online and so it was essentially free - bought the Olicamp heat exchange pot for $32 plus tax and free shipping on Amazon - so the whole thing for $87 plus about 6 or 7 bucks for the canister so about $93 for everything - Thanks for your ratings - saved me a lot of time

Why didn't you have a MSR Windburner, a excellent stove in both wind and cold.

Soto came out with the regulars many years ago. Put canisters in a fish aquarium with water, then add ice and see with one burns with high flame. Soto!

Optimus Crux Weekend HE is very similar to the Jetboil Stash at about half the price.

I am wondering what weight Alpha Direct fleece you are using? (60,90,120?). I have just purchased a 90 weight Senchi hoody (4oz) with half zip and first impressions are very good but I need to accumulate experience with it. I am pairing it with an Arcteryx Squamish windbreaker (5.5oz). The combination seems to layer well with my Montbell sun hoody. This saves 9 ounces from my usual fleece/rain parka combination and breathes much better for active wear. The windbreaker doubles as a bug shirt.

Thank you for doing this. There are many reasons to buy a system - cost, performance, versatility, etc. If this is about time to boil water in cold and wind, please try the MSR windburner. It should be at the top of the list given those conditions are what it was designed for. Also, the MSR deluxe burner is a design copy of the Soto Windmaster, not the other way around.

Did I miss the results somewhere? I watched, rewound and watched again and was hoping for some actual data.

$25 Fire Maple FMC X6 750ml pot, plus your favoured burner. Cost effective.😊

Well I think a white gas stove is certainly the best in very cold conditions. Not to mention it's more environmentally friendly without all those throw away fuel canisters.

I’ve been totally happy with my Jetboil flash year round.

You left out the best Jetboil! The jet boil Mighty mo, is the same stove as the pocket rocket deluxe for $15 less.

Love the comparisons! My only two cents is that the Soto Windmaster with the tri-flex is the lowest weight for the best performance. The pocket rocket deluxe is a copycat made by MSR to compete with the Windmaster, but its igniter is less reliable and it weighs significantly more than the Windmaster (when paired with the tri-flex). The Windmaster’s igniter never ever fails, it’s like magic, I don’t know how they do it.
