Briefly about the pros and cons of alcohol burners for hiking and bushcraft. ADVANTAGES: 1) Does not smoke, does not emit smoke, is silent, does not get dirty or stink when it gets on clothes and equipment, durable and reliable equipment. 2) The fuel itself is multifunctional and is not prohibited for transportation (unlike gas and gasoline). 3) Ideal for light travel and solo non-extreme mountain hikes, etc., in some cases for survival (military operations, etc.). 4) More powerful and more economical than dry fuel. 5) An alcohol burner goes well with thin-walled camping utensils and allows for better quality cooking, without burning, etc. (No. 1 reason for me personally) 6) Convenient to cook in bad weather, in the vestibule of a tent, under an awning, in a shelter, etc. 7) Burns at sub-zero temperatures. 8) Extremely low price or very easy to make from scrap materials. A soulful item. DISADVANTAGES: 1) Not suitable for large volumes of water and food (group hikes) This is the number 1 reason why they are of little use in tourism. 2) Not suitable for melting snow and ice. 3) Alcohol is not always available, this fuel is not considered a tourist fuel, it is not sold in outdoor stores, gas stations, etc. 4) Relatively demanding on the operator's skills to realize their full potential in difficult conditions, and not at home on the table) Factory alcohol stoves should be cheap. The best place to buy them in large quantities is Ali. Brands Boundless Voyage, TOAKS, TOMSHOO, etc. Tatonka, evernew, trangila, miltek, etc. are not worth their money here at the moment. And they have no advantages.

The videos on this channel are mainly dedicated to bushcraft and life in the wild. Bushcraft is a systematic set of techniques, skills, crafts, and also the philosophy of such a life. It is not necessarily survival and extreme, although such a section is also here. This knowledge can be useful for those who relax in nature, tourists, hunters, fishermen, everyone who willingly or unwillingly ended up in wild places. That is, bushcraft is not the activity itself like tourism, but only the skills for it. **************************************************** COOPERATION and ADVERTISING [email protected] VKontakte group https://vk.com/public193781378 / kaltakhchyan Instagram https://vk.com/id74399400 VK my personal page / alexandr.kaltakhchyan Facebook
