I have written some about kayak self support trips… and I’m still obsessed with the activity. On a random Saturday, I was putting my little bag of kitchen items back together (again!) and thought on a whim that I’d do a water boiling time comparison between my two lightweight stove systems.

For comparison: the MSR Reactor stove with integrated pot & and the Snowpeak LightMax Titanium Stove with Trek 700 titanium pot. For each, I boiled .5 liter of cold tap water.

Check out the video to see how it went!
