Used to be a fan of the BRS 3000t but then it failed me on a (luckily) short hike. Not sure what the problem was but it was at about 9000 feet and it was cold. The stove simply would not light. Back home at sea level, it lit with the same canister just fine. This was after about 14 days total of use. On the next hike, I took a different cheap Chinese stove, and the first thing that I noticed is that it used far less fuel than the BRS. I then did some research and found that a Jetboil stove used even less than the 2nd stove, and I've used 1 or 2 different models of those since. Bottom line, even if you disregard the quality issues, you aren't saving any weight with the BRS; whatever weight you save on the hardware you will lose carrying more fuel.
Ugh. That’s a bummer. Ironically, I used BRS many, many years ago, and pocket rocket, then Jetboil Stash (most fuel efficient stove ever). Now I’m back to BRS 🤦♀️.
Right?! I thought so too! I learned about it yesterday and I was 🤯. I just happen to have a light colored pot sack 🙌 It puts off a LOT more light than I thought. It lit up my entire bathroom. And that was with fairy lights. A headlamp it would be even brighter!
What type of coozy do you use to rehydrate your food or do you rehydrate it in the pot? I have a homemade coozy that I use to "insulate" the freezer bag, but was just wandering if you have a better method.
I just use an empty Mylar bag similar to what store bought freeze dried meals come in. I have also made and used the homemade koozie and would recommend that for dehydrated meals. Most freeze dried meals rehydrate much easier and don’t need insulation. 🌻
