Myth: gas canisters don’t work in winter

A whole week of snow melting with one gas canister. It is possible and not even hard. Stuff I use for cooking: Brs ultralight upright canister stove https://amzn.to/3sr4dhF Coleman extreme fuel, 230 gr canister Windscreen out of aluminium and one paperclip Aluminium kettle, not anodised One water bottle “join the pipe” Platypus one liter bottle https://amzn.to/3qPosp5 Ikea 0,5 l insulated bottle Titanium spork Two bic lighters When I melt snow I don’t boil the water but only melt I drink 3 cups of coffee per day 300 mls of hot water for rehydrating dinner 200 mls of hot water for rehydrating breakfast Temperatures were not very cold, but I am confident that I could go a lot lower than this Fuel efficiency for winter camping was great, all in all. Tips for gas canisters in winter: Remote canister stoves will work in the lowest temperatures, but are a bit heavier and in my case less efficiënt. Below -12Fahrenheit they also need a little help getting started and you place them a bit closer to the flame. Start with a warm canister: pre-heat the canister in your jacket or sleeping bag Put the canister on something that insulates, like a glove Have the option of putting the stove in water (or some other warm liquid...) Tips for stove efficëncy: -when melting snow, don’t get your water super warm, just melting is enough. -always take liquid water if you find it. -melting ice is more efficiënt than melting snow, especially dry snow. -you don’t need to boil your water. 70 degrees C is enough for coffee, 90 is enough for dyhydrating food. -pre-heat your water using body heat. 0:00 Introductie 0:24 Requirements winter stove 0:44 Multifuel stove 0:54 Wood 1:23 Gas canister stove! 2:07 Remote canister stove 3:40 New gas canister types 4:08 Upright canister pro's 5:10 The wind screen weighs less than your left big toe nail 6:31 On only one canister! 6:41 Fuel efficiëncy tricks
