About CyrusBlades

Hello REI World! It's so great to have a community like this for the weird and wild ones who are passionate about the outdoors. My name is Cyrus Blades, I like to hike, backpack and camp. Very into ultralight minimalist backpacking. I enjoy using my hammock a lot! I'm also into snowboarding, surfing, skateboarding, BMX, and mountain biking. I love Jeeps and the whole jeep community. I'm always down for new activities and exploration, so feel free to talk to me about anything. I'd love to learn new things and share experiences with new people. 🙂

Just to let you know, this inspired me to buy a jetboil flash, haha! I'm so excited for it to arrive and try it out. Thank again for sharing your experience with everyone! 🙂

That's great! I actually had one of those stoves too about 7-8 years back. It worked pretty great.

@OldGuyot truly grateful for the amount of effort and the insight you put into this! Extremely useful information that I will use in my quest to fine cuisine in the backcountry. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us! 🙂

@TerryM this is absolutely great information! Thank you for taking the time to share with us! 🙂

@scottmc thanks for that insight! Really good information here, I love it!

@speakingquitefrankly thanks for the info on the new system... it actually does look great! I am considering purchasing the Jetboil Ceramic Cook Pot at the moment which looks very similar, with the addition of a cozy and an additional 0.7L in size. But weighing only 10oz and with a 2 minute boil time, at only $65 on REI... I think it might be time to try something new.

@knescue so you've actually inspired me with this, I went looking at the various jetboil systems and I'm going to pick up the Ceramic FluxRing Cooking Pot and give it a try with my pocketrocket deluxe. I'll do a 1L test of boil times with the jetboil and the seatosummit x-pots I have.

@Dad_Aint_Hip Thanks for that! I've never seen this stove before.

Hey @DragonDad, thanks for the info! I wasn't so much worried about weight. I've actually picked a few of them up at REI and I was surprised how light they actually are. Might even be lighter than my current system. My real concern here was the space. All the systems I've seen have a hard body cup/bowl/mug construction that is, in my own opinion, fairly large.

Hey @knescue thanks. This information is very useful! I'm very interested to see the difference in boil time between a Jetboil and PocketRocket with my current setup. I might just have to purchase one for fun.
