@norsefalconer3 жыл бұрын
Here are a couple suggestions to make the cook set a little better if you're solo. Ditch the two green cups. Then add an Ozark Trail (Walmart) stainless steel cup, found on a shelf near the Stanley cook set. It fits nicely on the bottom. To make it secure without any bands, etc, put a thin cup koosie on the Stanley, then the OT cup will fit snug. This also helps prevent soot from getting in the cup. Bonus, the red silicone collapsible cup Walmart sells for around $2, fits perfectly, and I meam perfectly, in the bottom of the fuel canister (shown in the video), giving it a little more surface grip, and/or providing a nice nested cup or bowl.

I have a compact stove like the one you show. I have read that you should not use wind screens for those type of stoves because the fuel cannister can overheat and explode. A wind screen should only be used with stoves that have a fuel line which allows you to place the cannister outside of the windscreen. I have that kind of stove as well. The former is what I take backpacking, the latter is what I use for car camping.

Awesome list, now I don't live out of my car but I do camp with it, how could I not since I have a 2003 Pontiac Aztek with the camping set up. The camping set up consist of the very first auto tent, built in compressor, full size air mattress (which I don't use, I went a size smaller to have more space) and the cargo storage tray, oh yeah rear stereo controls too. However, since I'm involved in Emergency Service I also carry 2 medium sized fire extinguisher a bag with a fireproof cover alls, boots, helmet and gloves, HazMat class C suite, my SAR pack and my water rescue gear. I also have lots of different sources of light and several different kinds of knives. One of my favorite EDC items is a USB recharger that is also solar with multi device cable. I also have a Stanly cook pot but I don't use the cups because the way my setup is on my SAR pack. Okay I can go on forever so I'm going to stop here
@SUVRVing7 жыл бұрын
Hi Theresa, thanks for the great comment. Sounds like you've got a great setup that works well for you. I'm familiar with the Aztec, of course, but I didn't know there were tents made for it. I just looked it up, and it looks awesome. I know there are similar tents out there for other vans and SUVs with the rear door that opens upward (mine opens to the side, so they don't work for my RAV4). How's the gas mileage on your Aztec?

Great to hear that you like your Aztek so much! Shame they don't make them anymore. The Firebox stoves look interesting, but I don't know how useful I'd find them.
