ultralight hiking: fuel tabs vs gas, alcohol, wood

Esbit is here: https://amzn.to/3APQaJt Gas canister here: https://amzn.to/3ViJpIb Do the math with me and find out: fuel tabs are the easiest AND lightest cook option for quick and light hiking trips. In this video you see a comparison of the weight and useability of fuel tabs (esbit or coghlans), alcohol stove, wood burners and gas stove. The lightest gas stove in the world is also in this video. As well as the best wood burning backpacking stove. The video takes the weight of several stove options: the weight of the stove, the weight of the fuel, empty canister and extra stuff that you would need into account and compares what that amounts to for a seven day trip. Also the video compares some other character traits of these fuel choices. Can you take a gas canister or alcohol on a plane? No! Fuel tabs: yes! (well, never got busted in any case). When you go for wood: you need a more serious knife. Gas works very well and you can just turn it off when you're done cooking, whereas you have to let a tab burn out. Alcohol smells better than tabs and is lots cheaper. Wood is the cheapest option and will last longest (source while on the trip). Lots of things to take into consideration here! The part in Norway was shot in Kongsberg, a little city in the Telemark region. I hiked from Hokksund to Lunde, 140 km in seven days, but I recommend the hike from Kongsberg to Nordagutu, over Skrim and Narefjell. Very pretty landscape, will take about four days.
