I've been using the Jetboil MiniMo since 2015. It's an efficient all-in-one unit that works very well when you're driving to a campsite. But for backpacking, it's quite bulky and not the lightest of items. So, in September, I started building myself a lightweight cook kit.

It is not 'ultralight' by any means and I'm sure some will see areas where I could reduce weight. I'll put links to all of the featured items below and with the weights appearing on-screen in the video.

All units are 'base weight' only. I have not included the weight of a gas canister.
