A NEW WORLD RECORD
In early 2023, a 100-day 2677.43km solo was conducted with a cooking system that was based around a canister/burner combination. This produced 4 empty canisters of various sizes which were annoyingly awkward to haul, and over 2kg of added weight to the expedition kit in total. That may not sound like much, but to put it into perspective, that weight was in addition to another 40kg of ultralight expedition equipment that was hauled for an average of 40km per day.
The 2kg mattered.
The Stove1 Story
Concept Foundation
"I just kept looking around at this infinite resource of small twigs, branches and sticks that I could use to boil water for coffee and for food-prep but rarely had the time or need to build a full-blown fire. So decided when I made it home, to find a way to work smarter...to cut back on these gas canisters for something free to use most of the time, compatible with multiple fuel types...to build something that is rock-solid and dependable. The idea appealed to me, of grabbing one item (stove1) and a hand full of free and plentiful twigs to easily heat filtered water for a coffee or meal... " - PC
So, driven by a desire to find a wood-fired but multi-fuel-capable cooking solution that reduces weight, we set out to make something new.
It's not just a stove; it's a vision realized through experience, bringing you a fantastic tool to help you embrace the wild while leaving behind the unnecessary burden of as much heavy equipment as possible.
