BEST BACKPACKING STOVE 2021 - MSR POCKET ROCKET 2 VS SOTO WINDMASTER - BOIL TEST 

Thank you Barry, really enjoyed this one. Looking forward to your next video too. ATB Tom

Ahoj, děkuji za sledování a snahu komentovat. Doufám, že se hodně dostáváš ven... Tom

Yeah the SOTO pulled out all the stops in the wind and cold. I think it could melt a good amount of snow which could be useful in the weather we are having at the moment.... ATB and really appreciate your support and comments. Tom

Hey thank you for your positive comments and support. I am a big fan of the Soto too. ATB Tom

Hey thank you for watching and commenting. ATB Tom

Hi Stuart, thank you for your comments, yeah I bought the Soto and was very pleasantly surprised at how well it performed in the wind. A lighter option for me too. I hope that you are well and get a camp soon. ATB Tom

Hi Jon, yes it lets you see a kind of measured real world performance which is very different from the indoors. Thank you for your comments. ATB Tom

Hi Dillon, thank you for taking the time to comment. ATB Tom

Hi David, thank you for your comments.. Yes the canister tops are a pain on un even ground. I am currently considering a remote canister stove for this very reason. It can be a real balancing act and if you are using one of the 100g small gas cylinders then even more so. Not a fan of the canister support stands as its just another thing to bring or manage and I like to keep my gear simple and un complicated... ATB Tom

@@TOMHEANEY100 Spot-on Tom, that's exactly how it was - the tent fire episode prompted me to look at other options, including the canister support stand (a safety improvement, but I still knocked the pot over), and the remote gas stove - an Alpkit Koro which I've hardly used because I found I like my alcohol setup so much. The Koro is 123g so pretty much the lightest of its kind out there, although for just a few grams (and a few £s) more you can have the Kovea Spider which gets better reviews.

Hi Dave, thank you very much for your comments and feedback. I really appreciate it... All the very best wishes. Tom

Hi Pete I hope you are well and the very best of luck with the rebranding. I actually don't use a colour profile as I think they are over rated and add to the workflow in post. I do set WB manually though, but always learning so might trust the camera more in the future. Always worried that the camera will change WB mid shot which is harder to fix that if I need to adjust the whole clip! I add a fraction of saturation and exposure in post as I like to under expose slightly when filming. They say that shooting in a colour profile gives higher dynamic range but even when you watch major films on the tv you often see blown out Skys! Certainly for YT I don't think its worth it! Thank you for your kind words and good luck with getting out in the outdoors. ATB Tom

Hey Simon, than you for sharing your story with the Pocket rocket.. Yeah the others definitely perform better in the wind and will probably simmer better too if needed. I am currently using a Firemaple Polaris Pressure Regulator stove and now actually prefer it to the Soto as its a little more compact and feels more sturty as the pot stands just pull out and dont detach... Best wishes Tom

Hey Jonathan, great to hear of your experience with the Soto's. Super impressed with mine and would definitely consider some more Soto kit.... ATB Tom

Hi Andrea, thank you for your positive comments. A few of my friends have them too and one of them tests stoves even more than me and is very impressed with his.... ATB with it it when you get it. Tom

@@TOMHEANEY100 thank you and please keep up the good work!

Hi Alan, yes there are a great number of choices for this type of stove. The Soto is a little but different and gets great reviews across the board. Thank you for your comments and I am glad that you enjoyed the review. ATB Tom

Hi thank you for watching and commenting on this and a number of my other videos. Soto make great stoves and just had a look at the fusion trek, it looks great and will be a reliable investment. Definitely the Soto stover are better designed and built than the MSR'S. ATB Tom

Thank you for your feedback re the pocket rocket. Always great to get other opinions especially from personal use. ATB Tom

Hi Shamus and Petra, thank you for your comments. Totally agree with the windshield as so light and always helps the boil times.. Looking forward to your next video too. ATB Tom

Hi thank you for watching and commenting. Never used any jetboils, but should be testing the Polaris in the not too distant future so look out for that one... ATB Tom

Hi James, the pot was a primus ETA but they don't make them any more unfortunately.. ATB Tom

@@TOMHEANEY100 Haha-OK, that figures, but thank you!

Yeah I am afraid I haven't tried a primus stove.. Recently I have been using Fire Maple and really impressed... Sorry I can't help any further.. Tom

Hi Tony, yes as far as I am aware. ATB Tom

Hi its a Primus ETA but an older model I am afraid.. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.. ATB Tom

Hi George, Its a Primus ETA one of the first generations but I am not sure if they make them the same anymore... ATB I hope that os of some help. Tom

@@TOMHEANEY100 Really kind mate, thank you very much!! :)

Hi its an older Primus one called the ETA Litre ..Tom

Thank you for your comments Andy, I try to make a video that is interesting and my point here is to show the difference in an outdoor and indoor environment that the extra features of the Soto or in fact the Deluxe makes... To compare two products that are so similar like you state would potentially show minimal differences with these types of tests. Personally I looked at purchasing the pocket rocket 2 or the WindMaster and I was wanting to know if the more expensive WindMaster performed better and was worth the extra money to me.. So this was why I made this particular comparison. ATB and at the end of the day all comments help me in the future to consider my content. Tom

At current price point I find this very fair and relevant.

Thank you Terry, almost too alike but I understand where you are coming from. ATB Tom

I think this is more interesting as windmaster beats Pocket Rocket deluxe slightly i guess…Pocket Rocket 2 is highly efficient but needs to be used in mostly windfree area, than it needs as well less gas then the windmaster. When you have no proper wind islation the effiency of the pocket rocket 2 is conpletely gone and the windmaster takes the crown…
