Nice concise post. Thanks for the info and happy hiking.

Love this! Great to see the mat too:)

If the Lid ist a Plate, it's perfekt

Nice video, thanks for sharing. I have a Trail Designs' Sidewinder system with an Evernew 1.3L pot, and the 12-10 alcohol stove. I bought it with a titanium simmer ring, and it works great for baking muffins and stuff. I think I bought it in 2009 or 2010, and it's still one of my favorites. I use it when cooking for two. Trail Designs makes some awesome gear. I have other smaller set-ups for solo hikes, but just last week I decided to invest in another Sidewinder kit for my Toaks 700mL pot, and it came with the Kojin included. Unfortunately for me the Kojin, as flat and shallow as it is, it's not shallow enough for the 700mL Sidewinder system, because the titanium cone is very short (it has to be because otherwise it would not fit inside the pot). So with that system, there are only about 2cm of distance between the Kojin and the bottom of the pot, and that's not enough room to allow the flame to develop properly. It took more than 11 minutes to boil two cups of water. I didn't give up though, so I took part of the ceramic fill out of the Kojin and put it inside an empty tin of Vick's VapoRub, 12g. It works great! The water boils in a little over 6 minutes. As I said I have other systems, faster ones too. But I think this one is the lightest, and although the pot is small, it's still wide enough that allows me to rehydrate my homemade meals in it, with enough room to stir the food around and eat from it like a bowl. Overall great system, I think it's my new favorite, but Kojin has been a bit of a disappointment.

I think the GVP ( Glen Van Pesky) caldera cone cook system is lighter still with its foster can pot and esbit cubes!

👍👍👍 .. nice 😊. I've put together (an ongoing development) some sets that do very much the same. Perhaps not as efficiently (could be close though), but then it costs me almost nothing .. mostly salvaged material. Flame / Heat Control .. I'm playing around with 'simmer' rings that I just chuck on top of the burner. Results so far are encouraging. For a reduced heat output, I also use Whiskey / Similar, Bottle Caps filled with Ceramic / Glass Wool. They burn long enough to finish off whatever and anyway, refilling isn't that much of a schlep. Stirring constantly and removing the pot regularly from the flame for short periods, goes a great way in preventing the contents from burning. Thanks for the share .. cheers ..

Awsum

I don't do ultra light, but tgat is a great Idea. For if you just want to stop for a coffee break. This way you dont need a bug fire.

Where does one buy that little stove in Australia?

thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice lamp but the new model is better again 😊

Dave 😂😂

Dave sounds like a great bloke.

😂😂😂😂

Try using a pot cosy no simmering

❤❤❤

Cuidado con las garrapatas!! Examínate bien después.

I have pretty much the same setup except I use the vesuv stove which is the same as the kojin but with black felt. Its very fast! Looking to make a simmering ring so I can fry by putting the pan on top of the wind shield.

Good to know, and we all have to be prepared for electricity outages. Light is so important, do you have a torch in your first aid kit. Of course no I need one x thx tel tez

🌷Liked and subscribed from North Pole Alaska. I have been to Australia 3 times and loved Tasmania. 💕🇭🇲😊

This is awesome!! I appreciate your video ❤ cheers from North Carolina, USA 🖖❤️❤️

After using VSUV kone for a while I can tell that it would be helpful if it had the lower holes on one side olny. This would make the whole system more wind protective and still give enough air for burning.

😮😊looks great

Looks beautiful!

Time lapse is great

Dammm that looks hot 🥵

As a fellow Tasmanian long-distance hiker who loves trekking through very isolated parts of the world, yours is the only video I've found that covers the situation of LONG timeframes between re-supply... RUclips is chokka-block full of folks from the Northern Hemisphere who do hikes in places that have a town every 50-or-so kilometres and food drops every couple of hundred kilometres, hence why they can get away with using these flimsy ultralight 40-50L packs. Us Southern Hemisphere people in AU/NZ, South America and Africa don't get the convenience of such food drops and rivers/lakes everywhere. Subscribed for further videos - Keep up the good work...

This looks excellent.

Thanks

I achieve simmer on my alcohol setup by swapping out the burner with a one with a smaller diameter. There are a few examples on my channel. I find that a burner, same style as the one you are using, 35mm diameter burns one millilitre of alcohol for one minute which make timing a summer straight forward. Hope some of that is of use..

Very interesting

What an epic adventure!

First time I've seen a windshield that attaches by metal snap poppers. That will be handy in making my own! Caldera cone style seems so much harder to make than that. thanks! :D

to simmer with such a stove, I used the lid on top of the burner. My burner is a DIY so idc about the paint, but you might. If that's so, you might want to get an alternative metal piece to place on top. Anything like a quarter, to limit the suface area on top could work. I place the lid on top and it forms a half moon shape. Burns much slower.

Wow! What an adventure.

The Xboil stove is even better because you can fit the windshield and the burner inside the pot or cup. You can also use it with frying pan.

That’s awesome 👌🏼

I don't know how much that kojin stove cost you but you need to be made aware that these stoves are complete scams I reckon you could easily make the exact same thing with one of those vaseline things and put a bit of wick inside

someone else did my food drops and thankfully I had the foresight to put apple airtags in the remote ones, otherwise I never would have found them.

When I arrived at Whitelaw Hut ruins, there were 3 guys sitting there who gave me two litres of water so I didn't have to go looking for it which was good.

Thats real nice

How awesome is that 😮

Thanks Luke - it’s great to know the name of this unusual call🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Good ol sambar honk.

Awesome adventure!! 🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊

Thank you for that I appreciate it

We grew up on a bush block (one of nine) and we were taught that as kids - this remedy was used a lot and never failed!!

Love that sort of knowledge, being an Australian you'd think we'd be taught that sort of thing as kids.

Awesome! Love your new channel! Wishing you a Happy New Year! ❤️⭐️💫🎉👍
