Thanks Paul for your graft with these lovely videos, for supporting a sibling wild camper with his fab little business, for making it “ok” to be a normal bloke, for involving your missus, for making me smile, and for having a very natural gift for talking about your/our interest so watchably (if that’s even a word!). I even got my missus to watch one of your videos and told her “This is the bloke I watch” so she could better understand (or permit!😂) my hobby. I’ve pledged £85 for the full set too as after starting in alcohol stoves, then trying gas, I realised on my Hadrians Wall sea to sea (to Tynemouth, past Wallsend) that alcohol is my go to hands down. Bless your good and generous heart ❤️

Norman poured his heart into his products, and his clever design deserves to live on in a revised and modernised form. So good luck to these guys..!

Pledged my dosh about 10 days ago, glad to hear its made the target now 👍👍. Just got to Puck you up slightly on one point. Trail Designs Caldera is very similar ( if not cheaper) so long as you use a reshipping service. Yes, granted, if you go for the Fissure Ti-tri, which is virtually identical to the Stormin cone, its a lit more, but a standard Caldera code is comparable on price. That said, I'm happy that we can buy UK made gear over US. Well done Stripey. Good effort 👍👍👍

@StripeyHatGuy 26 күн бұрын

Hi Paul, some valid and good points. Unfortunately we are just starting and the material prices in low quantities is just ridiculous for titanium. This cone is as light and efficient as it gets, hence the bigger pot surface instead of a more narrow one. Right now we are focusing on manufacturing the kickstarter cones and I am sure that in the future we will bring out more pot sizes as well as a more budget friendly option out of ordinary stainless steel. Thanks a lot Stripey

@AlphabetikChemist 24 күн бұрын

Love it and how light weight it is. Won't lie I could make this in my garage quite easily. Could source it from aluminum cans as well. Could also make them in different sizes. The mold and specs for this is wildly easy to recreate with a couple basic shop tools. Much better route to take then asking a company to produce it.

The one problem I see with that is the use in wind; it may blow away spilling burner and/or fuel, once the water has heated and the pot removed for pouring into one’s crouton infested soup! Occurred to me the other day when I used my home made one when out on D-Day homage, silently trekking a French resistance track from France into Switzerland and it was very blowy amongst the pines and beech woods. Cheers.

Hi Paul, I bought the Stormin Norman cone back in 2019 after watching one of your videos. I have a fair few other stove systems but i always come back to the Stormin cone due to its simplicity and lightweight. Ive always felt lucky that i got one before Norman sadly passed away. Im pleased to see that the Stripy Hat Guy has released his own version as this is a brilliant system to own. Thanks for the video Paul.

Reminds me of the Caldera Cone. Both are smart in the way they capture the heat and make a very efficient use of it. After a lot of decision making I went with the Evernew Titanium Appalachian set many years ago. It's 5.7 ounces and all solid , no folding or anything else but setting it up and cooking. .

@christimartin8512 24 күн бұрын

Looks interesting. I’m in Dallas, Texas, and I just spent a load to get the X-Boil, shipped internationally, after being unable to procure an original Caldera Cone. One disadvantage of the cone is that it only fits one pot, so offers no flexibility of which pot to take, whereas the X-boil accommodates different sizes of pots (to a degree). It also is not as fiddly to set up, since it is in one piece, with just little brackets set on top. The X-boil does take approximately 1.5 minutes longer to boil water, with the smallest of 3 included can stoves, than your new setup. It is more readily available in the UK, being from Germany, than it was for me in the U.S. I paid a chunk for shipping! Glad to see a new company onto this stellar design!

Love it. I'd love to see it with a Toaks 750ml, but I do see the advantage of more of a pot than a deeper cup (which is what the Toaks 750ml is). I've come to really hate the isobutane stove noise. I'm never in that much of a hurry, quite frankly; there's something to be said for slowing down, especially if you're just cooking some reheated food and letting that aroma drift on the breeze as you're hanging out at camp unwinding from the day.

I've enjoyed your videos, just watched the one on how you became a KZfaqr and the recent changes. I tried alcohol stoves for the first time after seeing them on KZfaq, and wow I LOVE the lack of noise! I'm not in that big a hurry so boil times aren't a thing. As for being a full time KZfaqr, I can't even imagine. A friend wanted me to start a channel with him doing camping sorts of things but I'm not of the look-at-me generation, and with the bitter competition I just didn't have it in me. I salute anyone willing to jump off the cliff to be their own boss, so congratulations and I hope it's all working out.

The first thing I thought when I saw it was "Caldera Cone". I've had one of the Ti-Tri models for about fifteen years. It's a shame about the shipping, but I suppose that helps keep your own makers up and running. I run into the same thing when I want to order Chill Cheater paddling gear from the UK. The price is reasonable, but the taxes and shipping are ridiculous. I imagine the US is the "China" of cottage gear for the rest of the world....just not cheap enough.
