The MSR PocketRocket Ultralight and Compact Backpacking, Camping, and Travel Stove is the ideal solution for minimalist and fast-and-light adventures, hiking, trekking, and global travel. The trusted choice of alpinists and campers, for its durability and reliability, it’s easy to setup and operate—no priming, preheating, pumping, or pressurizing is required—and boils one liter of water in just 3.5 minutes. Simmer or boil, and adjust the flame anywhere in between for temperature-controlled gourmet cooking in the outdoors. Collapsible serrated pot-supports offer grip and stability, and can accommodate a wide range of pot sizes and styles for all types of meal prep. Fueled by high-performance isobutane-propane canister fuel (not included), it’s a good choice for global travel, as self-sealing threaded canister fuel is available in most countries worldwide. Available in 2 styles: The PR 2: Ultra Compact stove weighs 2.6 ounces (4.2 ounces in its included hard case), measures 4.8x4.8x3.6 inches when open, and packs down to 2x2x3 inches; the PR Deluxe : With Piezo Igniter weighs 2.9 ounces (3.4 ounces in the included stuff sack) and measures 1.5x2.2x3.3 inches when open. Manufacturer’s 3-year limited warranty.

Switchback Travel

MSR’s tiny PocketRocket has achieved legendary status in the backpacking community, and the latest “2” trimmed away even more weight and bulk. The net result is a streamlined screw-on stove that attaches directly to the top of an isobutane canister, allows for nice simmer control, weighs just 2.6 ounces, and takes up very little space in your pack. With a surprisingly powerful burner for its size and price tag of $50, the PocketRocket 2 is one of the most popular options on the market and a familiar sight in the backcountry. Integrated designs like the Jetboil Flash below offer better wind resistance, are more efficient, and come with a pot, but it speaks volumes that we still find ourselves reaching for the MSR on almost every backpacking trip.

Among the larger backpacking stove market, the PocketRocket 2 hits a highly desirable middle ground: while all-in-one designs like the aforementioned Flash excel at boiling water, they’re considerably heavier, bulkier, and more expensive. At the other end of the spectrum, true ounce-counters might be drawn to a minimalist system like an alcohol stove, but that comes with big compromises in terms of boil time, simmer control, and overall reliability. All in all, the PocketRocket 2 is everything most backpackers need and nothing they don’t, which is why it takes our top spot for 2022. And for a slightly more souped-up version, MSR also offers the $80 PocketRocket Deluxe, which weighs more at 2.9 ounces but includes a push-start igniter and regulator for better performance in the cold.See the MSR PocketRocket 2

 I tested the stove with 2 boil tests. Tests 1 was with 2 cups of water in my usual backpacking pot. I set the timer and was amazed when 2 cups boiled in 2.5 minutes

 After 75 seconds, I had a rolling boil.  the lightweight design and the smart carrying case are a nice perk for backpacking. Many similar products provide you with a small bag, which does nothing to protect the stove in your pack. The pot supports fold out to accept a container of decent diameter size

super fast boil time. Wow!

 I'll keep it as an example to others I hike and camp with comparing it to other options.  I have not contacted seller or manufacturer for a refund or new product. I will take 3/3 bad eggs as a sign to use existing better options.

 They do not support themselves upright and placing a pot is tricky without them falling until the pot is in place. Any incline and the pots weight will cause the stands to fall. The stands weight distribution with the angle they are at are poorly designed. If the stands were able to be tightened further without stripping the threads, this wouldn't be an issue until heavy use

Defect, or poor quality product.

 I Bought the Pocket Rocket - I Had this stove which was given to me by my dear old friend. Michelle Oh back in the summer of 2016. I'm not entirely sure who makes this one when I looked on Amazon I found a few different sellers offering it for about 10 bucks, give or take. Well seems to have branded it using their own logos

 specifically the MSR Pocket Rocket version 2 and why? After using this one for almost three years, I Think it's a great option for most people. So as I just mentioned, I've had this stove for almost three years now. During that time I've used it on all of my camping and backpacking adventures in places like Virginia Colorado, New, Hampshire, Iceland, New, York and Maine and so far I have no complaints. However, aside from the MSR Pocket Rocket - there are a bunch of other options out there offering different features at different price points

 If you're looking for new gear or planning your next trip, don't let the small details stress you out. Remember life's an adventure. so relax, breathe in the outdoors, and don't forget to appreciate the finer things in life. I'll see you out there, people! Peace [Music]

 so I figured it would be worthwhile to compare the Pocket Rocket to to a couple other competing models. At $45 U.s. the Pocket Rocket tube represents the middle tier of the price range for these kinds of canister stoves

MSR Pocket Rocket 2 Ultralight Backpacking Stove Review

I just picked up mine today, I love it great size, great flame control, and great pot support. Great buy you will not be disappointed.

Awesome little stove.

... its never fun to boil water when your stove wants to rock back and forth! MSR please come out with a better design

They dont make em like they use to.

020104 sec / 60 = 100.317 min / 60 = 1.672 hours Most efficient was at 1/8 turn. 450/0

7 pots of boiling water.  On average, how many minutes will this can of gas run? The average GpS for the MSR is 0.054548. Thus CanisterNetWeight / 0

 Then the water finally hit 212°.  My Conclusions: Winner: 1/4 turn: the point where the flame starts to "roar", audiably, seems the sweet spot. Enough heat to actually boil water, and the efficiency is much better (0.055935 GpS) than at more opened valve settings (

 --Digital temp probe is placed into the water, about 1/4" above the base of the pot. --Timer is shut off when the water temperature >= 212°. --Stove and gas cylinder are weighed for the "end weight". --Stove and pot are cooled to room temperature prior to next test

Efficient fuel burn

 Oh yeah! Now today we have the new Pocket Rocket - which is replacing the original Pocket Rocket and also it is replacing the micro rocket essentially MSR has taken both of those stoves combined the best features from each one for one stove, and what we are presented with is a very light rocket stove 2.6 ounces for the stove itself, incredibly lightweight, but more importantly, incredibly well performing. So we've touched upon the weight already: 2.6 ounces for the stove by itself, 4

 You're cooking some rice, something like that. The wind gust can't blow it out. One side is protected. It'll keep the fire going

 As you can see here, very, very functional. Not all stoves give you this ability to so easily and accurately control the plate. The last thing that we have to touch upon is price. Forty five dollars will get you this stove right here

2 ounces for the stove, and the red plastic carry case. So with the new and improved Pocket Rocket 2 stove, you are looking at a stove that is lighter than the original. The legs have been reworked so that it can support a larger variety of pots, which is very important with the original Pocket Rocket stove. It wasn't a stove that I had personally, but some of my buddies had it and we always had issues

Note that white gas stoves usually do not include the fuel bottle. They have multiple sizes available, so pick the right size for your weight and fuel capacity needs. 

 It is identical to the Tasmanian except it is green and is $50 cheaper. You can also get cashback from activejunky.com. 

#2: I wouldn't buy that bag. -20 in a synthetic is highly suspect. To reach that bag rating, even for lower limit, in a synthetic bag would require a 7 or 8lb bag with an enormous pack size. AlPS does NOT astm teat their bags

 If you are car camping then you can get a propane to lindel adapter as propane has much better vapor pressure than isobutane; the tanks are just very heavy. 

 To reach that bag rating, even for lower limit, in a synthetic bag would require a 7 or 8lb bag with an enormous pack size. AlPS does NOT astm teat their bags. Yup, its over 8lbs. That is way too big and heavy IMO

I'm going to Yellowstone by myself in December. This will be my first winter camping trip, but I have been solo camping in the other seasons many times and am very comfortable being in the woods alone. Also, I live in the midwest and it will be damn cold here before I go, so I plan to do a test run with all my gear for one night in my backyard just to make sure I have confidence in all my equipment and don't find out at Yellowstone when I'm already out there in the dark.

**Gear that I already have that will be adequate for winter camping:**

Snow shoes

Winter Clothes (except for boots, maybe, see below)

**Gear that I know I need and plan to purchase soon:**

Is this pad excessive? Can I go cheaper and still get a decent one?

**Gear that I'm not sure about:**

I have normal hiking boots (Salomon) and some good warm socks, but I am pretty sure I will need heavier boots with insulation, no? I have a good pair of insulated boots that I wear when I go hunting, but those are pretty damn heavy and I'm generally sitting still in a duck blind or in a tree stand when I wear those. I'm sort of assuming they will be too heavy if I wear them hiking all day (800g of insulation) and I will sweat in them. Any recommendations for boots if I plan to moving around pretty much all day?

Camping Stove: I generally use a little canister stove but I know that won't cut it for this outing, so I plan on buying a white gas stove. There seem to be so many options it can be a little overwhelming. Any recommendations on a decent one? 

Sled? I don't plan on doing any crazy insane terrain hikes. It seems like a sled would be a good idea, but I've never hiked with one before so I'm curious how much weight should I reasonably be expecting to pull? For reference, I'm an athletic male and I usually bring way too much gear with me on normal hikes (like 70+ pounds in my backpack, especially if I get duped into carrying some of my wife's gear) so I can handle some weight, but I am just trying to get a feel for what "normal" is for this type of outing. 

Should I bring just enough water for the first half day and plan to melt snow in a pot the whole time after that? I just assume anything I bring will freeze pretty quick, so it seems useless to pack water.

First Time Winter Camping

 Like the old Nova, you can flip the fuel tank and allow the flame to go out, insuring that all pressure is relieved from the tank before storing. The stove travels nicely in the pot of my cook kit.

 The new Nova (now with over 50 uses) sports a slightly different hose-to-tank coupler. Both old and new designs are easy to use and have never leaked. The selling point for me with the Nova has always been the location of the burner adjustment valve. Placing the valve directly on the burner instead of on the tank allows instant flame intensity changes

 The selling point for me with the Nova has always been the location of the burner adjustment valve. Placing the valve directly on the burner instead of on the tank allows instant flame intensity changes. Burners with tank mounted valves tend to respond slowly to flame adjustments since the pressure change has to travel through the fuel hose. The Nova provides instant gratification from simmer to full tilt 

Excellent stove, I now have two!

  ,,The Nova and Primus both have solid aluminum vs the brittle MSR plastic pumps...This is probably the largest differentiating factor

Buy One!

,,,,so here i am, it was on sale nice adjustable flame unlike most out there its not just an on or off stove.,,,,if i was shopping all over again I'd still pick this stove

. so about half a million $5 cans of fuel later I started to think I may need something a little better than a pocket rocket.,,,,so here i am, it was on sale nice adjustable flame unlike most out there its not just an on or off stove.,,,,if i was shopping all over again I'd still pick this stove

Just as easy as a canister stove
