I was unable to resist Baldbobs suggestion to get the MSR Pocket Rocket and Primus EtaPower 1l pot. On receiving the Pocket Rocket I figured I could go one better and also bought a MSR Micro Rocket (pictured). The two stoves have identical output etc but the Micro is smaller and lighter.
Fuck me the pot certainly makes for quick boiling of water.

Cooked bacon and choritzo on it last night. Very useful control on the Micro Rocket. The Pocket Rocket belongs to R93 so is unused.

The Micro is more compact and lighter (I doubt by much either way)

Someone has to pull us out of this recession right? Just don't tell my wife.
Oh and NZ retailers, pull your head out. I got stuff from the US, faster, cheaper and far more professionally (with manners) than any of you could be bothered.
Another sad disgruntled kiwi home shopper. Not all of them are like that. Soon you will be dehydrating your gun powder to save more weight.
TeRei Do you do that over a naked flame or in the microwave? ha ha boom!Quote:

Where did you get the MSR stove from my alpine stove takes up too much room and really need to downsize stoves to drop weight in my pack. Kind of reviewing what I took with me last time I hiked into a hunting area and how I can downsize, decrease weight etc with not so bulky items.
Pocket Rocket straight off Trade Me and the Micro Rocket from Amazon.

+1 for buying things online/overseas. Far better prices, quicker shipping - I can get bike parts from the UK in under a week for 9.5$ shipping yet retailers here in nz charge 40-50% more, charge 9$ for shipping and it takes almost a week.
Do you not want to live long :DQuote:

Aye they sure are. Just need to get out into the bush and actually use the fucker. All my weekends are being eaten up by non hunting related stuff. Just put nana in the dirt yesterday (can't hold that against her though).Quote:

No it is a double wall. If it were the single you could heat up a quick brew.
I use a MSR pocket rocket and Titan Kettle for overnight stuff, the only thing I dont like about using gas is the half full canisters you are left with! There is no point taking two half full ones as that fucks up the weight advantage.
I aslo have a Primus Omnifuel but it is heavy, so this week I bought the Titanium version - Omnilite Ti. Its lighter (239g Vs 339g) than the stainless model but not even close to the weight of the small gas stoves, but I do like the ability to take the correct ammount of fuel for the trip.
