Why I Still Carry an Esbit Stove (Sometimes)

In this video, I break down why I still carry an Esbit solid fuel stove on some backpacking trips—even with more modern options like the MSR Pocket Rocket available. I compare their weights, run a simple boil test, and talk about the specific scenarios where the Esbit really shines. If you're looking for a lightweight, no-fuss cooking setup, this one's worth considering.
