Nothing really special but its such a beautiful morning i thought id share a few pics. I got up full of beans and as my wife and daughter were of to swimming thought id take the dog and try out my new jetboil sumo. Picked it up at Costwold in Coventry. They wanted £135 but price matched it to £84.99 so a useful wedge of savings.
I packed my little tasmanian tiger 16l pack and headed off to our local country park Coome Abbey.
It was deserted at this time of morning
Swans were still snoozing
The dog had a good run
We then found ourselves a bench and set to work on breakfast and a brew.
Id bought the Sumo with the intention of using for heating rat packs and other pouch meals
Very easy to set up and the large sumo companion cup will take the 230g larger gas canister stowed inside.
Plenty of room for a rat pack reakfast
comes with a neat pot support so you can use your own pans too. I will probably use the trangia fry pan for a normal breakfast
Anyhow 1l of water + ratpack boiled very quickly and the unit simmered very very well. This has been the primary reason id always avoided jetboil in the past but the level of control was excellent. Rat pack sausage and beans went down very well indeed. I had fears the unit would be unsteady and tippy with the extra size and weight but it felt very solid in use and when pouring. Bella was a bit miffed
Always good to have a cleaning tool handy to wipe up the mess before packing out the trash
Nice brew to wash it all down with and we were on our way home
Hopefully we will get out again later when the family get home
