MSR Rapidfire

“Well all you gearheads, I'm blushing right now I posted on the "Gear to stay away from" thread in support of the Whisperlite I dont own a Whisperlite, I own a Rapidfire my only defense is I get the two names mixed up all the time (An I had a Blonde moment?). I better pay more attention if I'm going to support something Sorry guy's, Well the Rapidfire is a really quick, easy, no fuss stove. Anyone else got one? I did wonder why no one liked it, it's so easy! :)”

“:)”

“Does it set the woods on fire rapidly?”

“It's definitely a piece. I give mine away (I think they gave it away as well). It wouldn't hardly boil water below 45 degrees.”

“My rapidfire has worked great, although I haven't used it below freezing. Much easier to work with than my Pocket Rocket when cooking outside (summer), I just haven't found a way to make a good windscreen for the PR so mainly just use it in the tent.”

“GWS<
I'm surprised at that mine worked good in 2ft of snow at the Grand Canyon but I dont hike in really cold very often so other then that I wouldnt know


Tom T,
I'm sure it would LOL!”

“i wanted a pocket rocket but i settled for a primus yellowstone lite trail stove.”

“i used my pocket rocket the first time a few days ago. worked great. it was about 30 degrees though. i saved the whisperlite for when it's really cold.”
