Jetboil Flash Cooking System

When planning a hiking or backcountry camping adventure, conserving space and limiting weight are primary considerations. Everything you decide to bring adds ounces that might seem minimal, but can be burdonsome after a 10 mile trek. And one of the most common culprits in a heavy sack is cooking gear.

The Jetboil Flash Personal Cooking System eliminates this problem. This brilliantly designed system includes a 1.0 liter cooking vessel (and serving cup), burner, fuel canister and stand, all of which collapses into 4inches by 7inches of compact goodness.

The burner uses Jetboil’s patented FluxRing technology, which allows it to heat up almost instantly. On our last trip up to Michigan, we were boiling water within 2 minutes of turning the system on. It’s simple to assemble, simple to light, simple to clean up. And the space you’ll save in your pack can be used for more important things, like your travel atlas or a good bottle of Scotch.
