Welcome to my section on gear reviews. I will endeavour to build on this over time. Probably not in a Youtube way. I am more of a writer. I believe I can add useful insight. Hopefully not the same as all the other reviews out there. I will start with stoves as I seem to have a ton of those. Maybe it is a man thing that I like fire so much. I am sure there will be some crossover with what others have said. # Stoves ## My Top Three Based on my experience. There are other great stoves out there, but these are my favourites. 1. MSR Switch Stove system - All in one, versatile, fast, amazing 2. Soto Windmaster - Small, light, fast. Will not let you down. 3. Trangia - All in one and practically bulletproof. There is a reason that these are loved by DofE groups. Honourable mention: Jet Boil, Soto Storm Breaker ## Do NOT buy these (and why) On further consideration, I might create a section on these. 1. Chinese Camping Multifuel Stove from Aliexpress with Lanshan fuel bottle. Fuel bottle has sharp edges and cut the seal on first use. The stove would not light when half way up Snowdon with either liquid fuel or gas. It was fine at sea level. Just buy something reliable. ![[BadChineseStove.png]] ## Reviews [[Soto StormBreaker Review]]
