Backpacking Stove Efficiency, Part 3: Windscreens

This video is Part 3 in a series on Backpacking Stove Efficiency.

It examines the effect of 3rd party windscreens on the performance of gas canister pot-stove systems, including both fuel and weight efficiency.

Discussion includes flame levels for optimum efficiency at increasing windspeeds, a comparison of different windscreen types, and pot vs. bowl-based kits.

It is recommended to view the series in order. The full playlist can be found here:
