Is Alibaba the Chinese copy/knockoff site?]

Alpkit are sourcing from Fire Maple, which are sold on places like Alibaba (or Aliexpress), DX, etc. However, the stove that they have just started selling, which looks a bit like a Jetboil, is cheaper to buy from Alpkit (if they have any left) than Alibaba!

Looks nifty but if you've got 15 mins spare you can make one of these



Weighs nothing, stays on the pot permanently, and don't interfere with the lid

Love the steel wire pot hangers.

Older models of their pots won't work with the new hanger...

Not compatible with 1350 ml MytiPot, 750 ml MytiMug and MytiCup pre September 2014 due to them not having a lip for the hooks to hang on to.

Can I ask what sort or wire and connector you used to make that, and where you get them from?

Yeah course, its just the usual push bike brake cable and cut up electrical connector block

what I did was use two pieces of cable to go around the lip, in hindsight one piece would have been easier I think
and for the bail I pre-drilled the top of each connector block then bent each end of the wire 90deg so it would post through and clamp with the same screw as one of the rim wires......if that makes sense?

Good for reducing the thickness of your wallet only, just twist a wire round the rim (rabbit snare will do) and then you can still use a lid. Oh and if using a MSR Ti kettle like shown above turn the handles upside down so the wider bit is at the top instead (they just pull out) better to grab as don't get so hot like that.

there's a TI "mors" type pot on there too

I'v got some "keith" brand TI pots, the quality is just shy of my msr stuff but still plenty good enough, esp for the price
