Some new Gear on its way - Jetboil and Snowpeak

Waiting on the arrival of some new gear from the US which I picked up on the BackpackingLight forums for a real bargain, well compared to what I would pay for it here if it were available.



The JetBoil PCS was a spare of the moment purchase as the same guy was selling a Snowpeak Hybrid that I was interested in. This is a little heavier than I would normally like to take out with me but the idea was so that when I take my son out or go with a group I would be able to cook rather than my normal rehydration which only requires hot water.



I can see the JetBoil being used more for car camping, fishing or some short walks in winter where a hot drink or soup might be nice. Some images below.


Since the last post on this I have been able to measure the weights of the Jetboil components and the Snowpeak setup, after all thats what we are interested in right?

Snowpeak frypan/lid - 62g
Snowpeak bowl - 52g
Snowpeak rubber bowl - 78g
Total - 192g



Jetboil PCS cup/body - 202g
Jetboil PCS plastic base/cup - 26g
Jetboil PCS plastic lid - 32g
Jetboil PCS stove - 164g
Total - 424g

Wild Flowers

I wanted to share some images of Wildflowers taken on my last hike along the Bibbulumn Track.
