“I’m sick of being on B Squad.

Listen, you may be on B Squad, but you’re the B Squad Leader!”

Yup… this weekend was one for the books (or blogs rather). When we three get together fairy dust falls from the sky, the Narnian pathways open there gates, and we live a lifetime of excellence where time stands still, the Angels blow their horns, birds land on our shoulders, and we whistle a happy tune through the rainbow field of butter cups and dandy lions to the land of Excalibur and beyond.

Here is a photo recap starting and finishing in Nashville, TN. I hope you enjoy.

Make sure to go check out Kyle Steed‘s and Brenton Little‘s IG for other rad shots from this bro get away sesh.

This set is killer… that is all you need to know, but… I will elaborate.

My entire goal in searching for the best portable camp stove was to find one that would allow me to ride to local destinations and make some bad ass coffee all while enjoying sun rises/sets out in nature. Life gets crazy and little outings like this are refreshing. I didn’t want a outdoor coffee setup that required much thinking. Just grab and go.

Snow Peak’s “Starter Kit” is hands down the best option for anyone looking for a very compact, lightweight, functional, and well-designed camp stove combo. Being Titanium, the set heats and cools in minutes. Everything fits right inside the Trek 700 titanium cookset: Fuel, the GigaPower Auto backpacking stove (no matches or lighters required), and a titanium spork.

After picking this up I thought I needed a camp mug to go along with it. At the time I didn’t realized just how fast titanium heats and cools. Using an Aero Press with reverse Aero Press coffee brewing style; I heated the water, poured into the press, stirred the ground coffee beans to infuse with the piping hot water, capped with the Aero Press filter, and by the time I did all that the Trek 700 was cool enough to handle and use as my camp mug… BINGO!! Coffee outside success!! With that said, if you prefer a single cup pour over then you will obviously need a camp mug BUT, you won’t have to carry an Aero Press around.

I’ve only had this set for about a week and couldn’t be more pleased. Looking forward to spending this summer exploring with the Snow Peak Starter Kit in tow.

Go to Snow Peak and check out all of their goods. Their apparel and gear are amazing. Very impressed.

Amped on getting out and getting caffeinated. As you know I love to go out and explore via those two wheeled speed machines. What better way to do that than to bring along a portable coffee lab. This is my first test run and everything worked out just fine! BUT… The MSR WhisperLite isn’t all that conducive to compact traveling.  Don’t get me wrong… it’s an amazing stove, I’ve had it for 13 years, but it’s time to dive deep into Snow Peak’s goodness.

I picked up the Snow Peak “Starter Kit” as it appeared to be the best option and I found it local. I’ve already ran the kit through its paces and have got to say WOW!! SUPER quick, simple, compact. I’ll be using it exclusively next weekend at Fall Creek Falls Tennessee State Park. Photos and review to come shortly after.
