    Great Video. Full of good knowledge for anybody looking to to some cooking while camping. I would like to add a little bit more info.
    Alcohol stoves are not allowed in a lot of the camping areas where I live. One of the best fuels for an alcohol stove is grain alcohol (Everclear or something 190+ proof). It burns hotter and is multi use. Lots of people spill their alcohol fire cause they cannot see the flames and think the fire is out. For that and other reasons, I strongly agree alcohol stoves are not to be used in the vestibule of a tent.

    Best ways to increase the efficiency of your gas stove is to use a lid and to match the flame size to the bottom of your pot. See GearSkeptic's very good video on this subject. (All his videos are master class level).  

    Last comment is I sometimes use my rocket stove. There are many types of "twig" stoves and they are generally the lightest as you don't need to carry fuel, just scrounge up some twigs when you get to camp. Down side is creosote on your pots.

    I'm not a backpacker but that was a SUPERB video. A great amount of thought goes into taking what you need to match your personal style and it's fascinating to hear the different perspectives. Looking forward to the next one!
