That stove was so huge compared to the BioLite CampStove 2 which I would love for you guys to review. It uses even less fuel to begin with and is so much more portable.
3 stars for a product that doesn't work because it's "sustainable"? It didn't work. They used resources and energy to make a product that doesn't work. That's not sustainable.
Ben really should know that backpacking stoves are meant do boil water only and therefore the whole issue of washing-up is pointless. While hiking you boil water, add said water to your freeze-dried lunch, seal it for a couple minutes and then eat from the lunch packet. The only thing to wash is your spork. No serious hiker would consider carrying around for days and miles all things necessary for proper cooking. That's way too much weight.
Ridiculous fun! Ty!
It's a lot safer because it doesn't work. 😂
Y'all need to try the solar cooker at the beach this summer! Really looking forward to this series. It would be fun to do more series in different kinds of terrain like the woods, beach, out in a park, etc. to test out food on the go meals. It would be interesting to see some foraging videos as well.
I'm a simple man. I see James in the thumbnail, I drop everything else to watch the video.
The solar cooker didn't work because you used a highly reflective pot.
Any idea what music was in the beginning?
JAAAAAAMES
i think it would be interesting to redo the first products test with a matte black pan, i suspect the reclective nature of the saucepan may have an effect compared to something that absorbs light like a black/dark pot would
Hey, guys! And with that, you'll know which side of the pond I'm from.
I would love for you guys to test portable gas burners, similar to ones familiar with East Asians. Since you're in the Alps, the temperature might be too cold for butane, but there are portable gas burners that accepts both butane and propane (using a tube; they're sometimes called "dual-fuel", I think) and America's Test Kitchen also put out a video about such a burner.

Ben:
should do a powered cooler, Dometic is a good brand
James! What a fun gadget review video haha
theres a far better but not compact solar grill. It uses a big convex mirror to make a sunbeam thats super hot you aim at the pan, same as you would a magnifying glass in the sun. Clearly not something you can take to the mountains but solar cooking is totally doable.
06:15 A hundred pot gram of gas? I think Barry had a brain fart there
JAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!
I FUCKING KNEW IT, BEN IS DORAEMON!!!
As someone who spend a lot of time in the snowy mountains every winter, this very fun.
WHERES…. THE JAMES
It was so nice to see james again! These gadgets were absolutely amazing😊
So…..a group of 4 British buddies decide to go on holiday in the cold woods because a friend always wanted to go and one is constantly and utterly complaing. So…..the same premise as the movie (the Ritual)
this is such a great video, i think it wouldve got more clicks if the title was "we tested kitchen gadgets in the french alps!"
You probably shouldn't use a shiny, reflective pan with the solar stove.
JAAAAMESSSSSS!!!!! 🎉
ITS JJAAMMEESS!!!!!!!!
Love James in this episode!
Imagining that frist one with the mirrors in the Arizona summer it wouldn't take 15 minutes in the 100 to 120 heat here
James! 🎉
I do agree with James that the solar cooker is definitely not meant for the mountains but I do also have to say they probably didn't help it any with that shiny metal pot. A black pot would have absorbed the heat a lot better.
fire starter sticks and fire lighter kits/bundles. test a range, see what actually makes a fire to cook.
2:15 I'm not sure the manufacturer intended the unboxing being done on site.
I missed James
It's so good to see James again ❤
There are much easier and simpler solar cookers available. That looked like trash from the packaging.
JAMES IS BACK 🥰🥰🥰 DAY MADE
JAMESSSSS!!!!!
James being a mountain man fits so well!
Am I the only one infuriated by the fact that they used a reflective metal pot for the Solar cooking station?!
I mean I have no clue if it would work on a cold mountain, but gosh it obviously won't work if you use a pot that will reflect back most of the energy!
3 presenters and god knows how many on the production crew and not one person thought using a reflective pot on a solar stove that uses reflection was a bad idea?
Always a pleasure to see James
I'm guessing that solar cooker isn't meant for potato leek soup, but for stuff that'd you'd grill. Also, I bet they had warmer climates in mind that'd add to the heat of the sun to cook things thru
James reviewing gadgets just feels right
I think a lot of the first one's failure came from the pan being reflective and the fact that the steel in the pot takes a lot of energy to heat through. I've seen videos of people cooking potatoes (no foil) in 4-6hrs using twice your size of solar collectors.
Honestly, the solution is a deep/insulated kettle (2 liter ?) with a small DC heating element (simple resistors) in it plugged in to a solar panel the size of your solar collectors. It would still take an annoying amount of time to cook , but it's compact, foldable, and no part would ever wear out.
So good to see James
There better be mountain oysters
That's amazing
For trouble gas stove come here please
Semangat Pagi
So excited for this series I think this travel style might be a wonderful format for future content from you guys.
