In my quest to carry a lighter backpack I have changed another piece of my lightweight backpacking kit.
This gas stove from Alpkit weighs just 45g plus a few grams for the bag – my previous MSR Pocket Rocket weighed 108g.
To show how small the stove is, Alpkit has a photo on their website comparing it to a AA cell battery (like above) however when I got the stove I was still surprised how light and small it really is. I will easily be able to pack this stove in the stuff sack that I carry most of my backpacking cooking gear in – the MSR stove was to big to fit.
The next thing to do is get out and test the stove – which I plan to do next Sunday morning.
