Testimonials
Dylan LeValley - OAR Northwest Ocean Rowing Team
Being on a rowboat for extended periods of time makes you realize how valuable convenience is. With three hours between shifts to eat, navigate, bathe, and sleep, and a calorie intake of 8000 cal/day, cooking can become a dreaded but necessary chore. Jetboil makes the cooking process painless, and the ability to boil water in one hand can be literally life-saving; ‘one hand for yourself, one hand for the boat’ is an essential in a rowboat, even when cooking.

"We're working in the backcountry of Alaska for several months while filming bears for PBS. Jetboils are the only stoves we carry. We've fallen in love with them because they are so rugged, fast, and light. On a cold, wet day it's good for the soul to know that a hot brew or a bowl of hot noodles is never more than 90 seconds away! I can't count the times we looked at each other this summer and shouted "I love my Jetboil!".
Beloved gear for a variety of activities
I just wanted to chime in and say how much I have enjoyed using my Jetboil for a variety of activities. I spend every possible minute outdoors either fishing, backcountry camping, mountaineering, boating, or paintballing/military training. For every one of these activities, my Jetboil goes with me. When I want fast and light, I use the Companion Cup, when I am with a group it is great to have the pot and frying pan as options. I was even able to make myself lunch while my position was under attack during a military training evolution!! I have yet to find an outdoor product as innovative as yours. Well done! -thanks, David Thompson!
Fire management at Lassen Volcanic National Park
We took our Wildland Fire Module to Lassen Volcanic National Park in August for a wildland fire for resource benefit (1600 acres when it was all said and done). The fire was located in the wilderness and, as such, many of the traditional fire tools were not allowed. Our ten-person module utilized the large volume backpacks to haul in everything we would need for a 14-day assignment in the backcountry. That included food for seven days, bivy sacks, sleeping bags, EMT equipment, clothing, fire management gear (45 lbs worth), and items like chainsaws, chainsaw fuel and oil, and hi-tech equipment. The average pack weighed 80 lbs and some spiked at nearly 95 lbs. We hiked in six miles to our base camp at Lower Twin Lake at Lassen NP. When that much gear is necessary and expectations are to stay in the bush for 14 days and be self-sufficient, you look to cut corners anywhere you can with regards to weight. Your Jetboil systems allowed us to do that. We cooked in pairs and the freeze dried food we took in allowed us to make it the entire duration. The cooking is quick and easy - and the fellas loved it! Your stoves allow us the luxury of implementing such a strategy, which keeps impact to our wilderness minimal and ultimately keeps total cost on any given fire substantially lower than when helicopters and other medians are used. Thank you so much for your support! Matt Dutton Fire Operations Specialist Rocky Mountain National Park
A military Thanks!
I have had my Jetboil PCS for about 18 months and love it! I am currently deployed in Northern Iraq and with the weather getting cooler and the rain that comes with it, my Jetboil is a HUGE morale booster. On any given morning, I cook up 6-8 pots of water for oatmeal, Ramen and coffee. My platoon mates liked it enough that three of them recently purchased their own. I have been an avid backpacker for about 25yrs and own and use roughly 5 different stoves. I doubt I will be using them much more. Thanks for a great product!

Strong support for Jetboil
I have been carrying my Jetboil PCS in my pack for a few years now and it has been used from everything from car camping in VT to overnighting in NH to highpointing in WY to a winter expedition in ME. It has never failed to produce and it's ease of use is unparalleled. With the accessories such as the base stand and pot holder, it is perfect for doubling as a backpacking stove. On yesterday's trip into the White Mtns to hit Galehead and the Twins, me and two friends and our dogs stopped to have tea and pay homage to the greatness of the Jetboil. If this system ever dies, I will certainly buy another PCS or Flash. You guys rock. - Nate Strong
Backcountry snowboarder relies on Jetboil
"Jetboil's PCS is my go-to backcountry meal-maker and hydration machine. It's my lifeline when I'm cold, wet, and hungry. I use it to boil water in a flash... even in rain, sleet and wind!" -Kyle Miller

Perfect for paddling
My Jetboil PCS and GCS are the perfect cook systems for my kayak and canoe expeditions; light, fast and efficient. There's nothing like Jetboiling up coffee in the canoe while floating on a lake! The Jetboil PCS fits perfectly in the waterbottle holder of my creek boat. - Jon "Shaggy" McLaughlin

Jetboil on Mount Meru
Jetboils have been integral to the success of many trips now and has, in several case, been integral to my survival high in the mountains. The product is well designed and has significantly reduced the amount of fuel and weight I need to carry on my climbs. Thank you! -Photographer Jimmy Chin (Mt. Meru expedition 2009)
