Survey for product idea of mine


Bdubs

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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...
