Got a Jetboil
« on: May 23, 2009, 07:41:40 PM »
I finally decided to spend my $40 gift card that I got for X-Mas and use my REI $48 divined to get  a Jetboil PCS. Now I cant wait to use it somewhere

I really like the JetBoil myself.  I know that some feel that it has weight penalty for long hikes, but you'll be the first person to eat.  The other thing I noticed is that it's very efficient with your isobutane.  Sounds like you made out on the deal!  :icon_biggrin:

Good for you!  Let me know how it works out for you.  Know someone with one of those and loves it. One of the things I noticed the best about it was the resistance to wind, mighty fine feature if you ask me.  Looking forward to a field test.  Might get one for my next trip!  :icon_wink:  ( whenever the hell that is  :eusa_doh: )

Why wait on a trip?  Heat up some water in the backyard right now for coffee!  :)

Excellent choice.  Purchased my jetboil about two months ago.  Have used in to prepare a quick meal on some long day hikes.  Very pleased with it.
