    Edmunds Col Fatality

    MSR stoves Reactor..experiences? worth it?

    With my Snow Peak, I bring one small cannister per day and always have a spare left untouched. Moving to the larger size will allow me ( I think) to limit it to one can every other day..I will report next winter!! :-)

    MSR stoves Reactor..experiences? worth it?

    Really appreciate the time you all took to respond. I see the Reactor is ALWAYS 20% off on Amazon..so the rush is mitigated I was in the ADKs last monthg..overnight was -30 White gas worked better than my SnowPeak...but the Snow Peak worked..just more slowly than normal

    MSR stoves Reactor..experiences? worth it?

    I want to upgrade my snow peak for more power and better winter performance...Reactor looks like the way to go...but experiences you've had will help me decide before I lose the 20% rei discount plus my rebate..thanks!
