BRS vs Jetboil: The Test Everyone Missed!

In today’s video, we’re putting two popular backpacking stoves head-to-head: the Jetboil and the ultralight BRS 3000T. Both are designed to boil water, but do you really need to carry around the bulky and expensive Jetboil for your trips? Or can the budget-friendly BRS, weighing less than 1oz, handle the job? We're going to break it all down with a series of real-world tests, including one that often gets overlooked—wind.

I’ve seen reviews from great creators like ‪@eric_hanson‬ and ‪@MirandaGoesOutside‬ talking about these stoves, but I noticed they missed one key element: how they perform in windy conditions. So, in this video, we’re putting both the Jetboil and the BRS through a controlled wind test to see how well each holds up. Whether you’re an ultralight backpacker or someone who wants reliability in all conditions, this video will help you decide which stove deserves a spot in your gear lineup.
