Go Bag Stoves

Ive been stripping down all my camping gear and going back through it and came across the question of which stove do I use for a Go Bag.I still have to purchase from the list below the grills and the firebox.

It really came down to primarily the time of year. No open flames in summer ! Weight and fuel type. How much fuel did I want to carry and how heavy are the stoves.

The esbit can sit in my bag for years and I dont have to worry about alcohol leaking out of a container but is only good fora three day pack for the amount of tabs per weight to carry.

The pocket rocket Ive now used for 2 years and am happy with it and the bottle wont leak over time and would be the better choice for hot weather when open fires are restricted.

For open fires when fuel is not available or when no longer in non-permissive environments, Id like to try the grills out.Very light weight and nothing can break on them.

What I don’t like about the small Titanium stoves are having to put them together and I have already lost one of the cross strut pieces. They would be much better hinged.

Another consideration are the foods your carrying. Do they even require cooking or heating.Here the time of year also comes into play. winter requires hot food and more calories.
