In today’s episode Brian Mehmen, Brad Dana and Bryan Martin give the lowdown on their great stove experiment. Each of them chose a different backpacking stove to set up, light and compare performance. Brian Mehman chose the MSR Whisperlite International, Brad Dana has the Optimus Polaris Optifuel, and Bryan Martin was demonstrating the Primus Omnifuel Multi Fuel backpacking stove. The guys set up the stoves in the Bone Cave (not recommended - should have been outside, you’ll see why) and put each system through its paces. One additional small piece of gear that made a big difference on Brad’s stove was the Primus Omnilite TI Silencer (at 12:37) which not only quieted the stove but distributed the heat better. Bryan Martin gives his advice on traveling internationally with a stove (at 14:00) and some tips on carrying fuel bottles and fuel requirements. Brad and Brian give their perspective (at 17:35. ) on making good coffee with a backpack stove. The guys then tell you why the ceiling in the bone cave got “sindged” (at 20:04). Bryan Martin also provides alternative stove ideas (23:37) for specific wilderness uses. The team gives their final overall impressions of the stoves (at 27:30) and which one they preferred and some good advice (34:00).
