3 Generations of Backpacking Stoves

3 generations from 1978 onward.... There might be a fourth in liquid/canister hybrids but I haven't got that far yet. I still use all of these in different conditions.

I’m a wood stove lover myself aswell as old Optimus, primus ect. I love all my 99’s but my 199’s just gets me every time. So quite! I say you on CCS and lead me here.
Still brother I love the 111t. I need a used one if your ever selling it or want to swap. Lol. Serious though great video!
By the way. Once I got a Windburner I never even thought of buying another canister stove. Sold all my jetboils and similar. Just can’t be beat in the wind!

Nice collection of stoves. I had a couple of Svea 123's for many many years. I then went to a MSR Whisperlite. Now however, I have taken several steps "backwards" and have gone back to either wood twig stoves or if I am in a hurry, I use an alcohol stove. I have become willing to sacrifice the high tech, high heat output for the much quieter but slower burn rates of the older methods. The loud roar of my pressurized gasoline stoves just became too irritating for me personally. The quiet alcohol or wood burning twig stoves are a quite a bit more pleasant to be around when out in the woods for me. Much more enjoyable. I am not knocking the pressurized modern stoves since they are indeed great stoves with high performance. It's just that for me personally, they just were too noisy. Did enjoy the trip through memory lane here in your video.

I love the OPTIMUS 111. Standard issue for the Norwegian army and homeguard. We use F34 fuel. F34 is the same fuel used for aircraft, all our viechles and the It puts out 2, 2 KW of heat and there is no problem heating a tent in tempratures 25-30 degrees celsius below zero. Any colder than that we start up stove number
