Bdubs Posted December 1, 2016 Posted December 1, 2016 Have been tossing around an idea for a new ultralight cooking product geared towards climbing/mountaineering/ultralight backpacking. I would appreciate if some of you guys could take a little survey I made relating to the product! I will probably use the information a quick practice pitch to my entrepreneurship class (am a college student). If people take the survey or express interest and I do end up following through with my idea, I'll probably offer it on here dirt cheap first! Link to survey is below. surveymonkey.com/r/Z8Z3R2M Quote
OlympicMtnBoy Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 Cool, I took it. I'd be interested to hear what your idea is. Your first question says check all that apply but only lets you select one. What type of cooking gear I take depends on a lot of things. Fast and light climbing with my bivy gear: jetboil and freezedried food Winter climbing where i need to melt snow: MSR xgk Backpacking where I want to cook more: MSR whisperlight plus pot, pan, mug ultralight backpacking solo: alcohol stove, ti pot, small plastic cup (whole thing with fuel is like 6 oz or less) I had a solid fuel esbit stove in scouts, haven't used it since.

JBo6 Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 Questions/issues for me for mountaineering/snow camping would be: Windproof/resistance Capabilities of snow melting Able to deal with sitting onto of a shovel or hanging for snow melting Backpacking questions: Heat control(simmering?) Size/shape I'll be curious to see what you come up with. Quote
BigSky Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 I took it. Keep us posted, interested in your idea. Quote
DPS Posted December 3, 2016 Posted December 3, 2016 Is this solid fuel coal by any chance? Because that's been done before. Quote
montypiton Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 I like stoves that hang for alpine bivvies. I like stoves that simmer for trips where I actually want to cook real food. On trips longer than two or three days, I carry a pressure cooker so I can eat real food without waiting all night for it to cook. nine minutes to boil!? in most conditions I can build a fire and get a quart boiling quicker than that...
