Did Derek really call himself a "water snob"? Just re-listened, and...he did. How about "water connoisseur", Derek? I care about you too much as a bro to just let you call yourself that.
Rocky Brown
Carl and Derek are the best. Well, Carl is anyway. 🤣 Just kidding, D! I stand by the first sentence; the second sentence is for comical purposes.
Stacy Fidler
I am from canada and I have been shopping for a cheaper stove. A pocket rocket style verses a Jetboil and finding the most cost effective option. By the time I got all the items I needed from the pocketrocket style it was about $10 or $20 more for the Jetboil. I realize that I might have shaved off a few ounces but not much if any by the time I carry my pot, mug, bowl, pan it is much more expensive and not any lighter. i find the Jetboil system is all i need and it worked far better then anyone i went with the last time and we had 3 separate type stoves. the Jetboil is by far my favorite option.
Aaron Hartje
Wow! It took less than 5 minutes for my bullshit-o-meter to short circuit with this guy. The only time it's ever happened quicker is any podcast that includes the name Bob Lazar. :-)
