Jetboil Pouch

[calicojack]

One of the most popular models of "camp stoves" is the JetBoil. This packable stove has been adopted by civilian preppers, camper, and the military alike. Digging through your pack to find your cook stove isn't very efficient however. This is where OriginalSOEgear comes in.


The OSOE Jetboil Pouch pouch originally started as a custom order piece. Over the last few years it has become a very popular item for OSOE. As I finally picked up a jetboil for my GHB/BOB/back packing pack, it was quickly deteremined that I should try one of these out.

The jetboil pouch is 8.5 tall by 5 inches wide.  It features john's famous dual closure system. Your Level 1 retention comes from an one inch fastex buckle with the level two retention from a heft tab of hook and loop.

The Jetboil pouch features pals webbing on either side for any additional pouches you might need to attach to it.

It has 3 channels for attaching the pouch via malice clips on the back. This is great because it gives you a little bit of play, depending on where you want to put it on your pack. For example, I have this attached to my Raid Pack toward the flap; enough to the point to where half of one of the outter channels is hanging off the pack.

Now this is where it gets interesting.

The attention to detail on OSOE's work never ceases to amaze me. Every seam on this pouch is edged with webbing.

Even the internal pockets are edged.

The Pouch features two internal pockets that run the length of the pouch. These pockets can be used to hold your eating utencils. I currently use a  light my fire spork, which only takes up one slot. As pictured, it also has a grommet drain hole in the bottom. Not an overly bad addition to a pouch designed for a cooking set that holds water.

The main body of the pouch does not fully encompass the jetboil system. This is not a problem however, as the more than ample hood does a perfect job of doing just that.

As you are no doubt aware, 1000d cordura is water resistent, and with the hood closed, I don't see the Jetboil being affected by any of the elements. Short of you crushing it, the Jetboil is completely protected.

This pouch has freed up much needed internal space in my pack. And will for sure see a great deal of use this season.

Digging through your pack to find your cook stove isn't very efficient however.

If you stow your stove in the same place each time (usually with your kitchen) you arent digging thru your pack to find it.

The jetboil is huge. free up some space, consider another stove?  Get a bigger pack?

The premise of an internal frame pack is to have all contents on the inside, this way you arent prone to losing gear along the trail...

you have to overlook some people calico, congrats on your find.

like i said in my forsale posting for my osprey exos, an external framed pack, i was looking to go with something more modular. I've moved to a "military style" pack that has pals webbing on it. this way i can kind of customize my pack and move certain critical items to the "outside" of the pack. The jetboil being one of those items. rain gear is another. i've set it up for quick access to those items.

A couple of quick points:
A $30 pouch vs a $100+ bigger pack?

2)Its attached via malice clips. Short of the pack being destroyed its not going any where, so I won't be loosing along the trail

3) The runner up for the jetboil was the whisperlite. Once you factor in fuel and a 2 cup container you actually surpase the size of the jetboil

Right along with "Hike your own hike", Choose your own gear. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. Choose what works best for YOU. Share your thoughts and opinions and we can all make informed choices! I think the pouch is pretty cool (source ?). I have a whisperlite and a Jet Boil and am aware of the many other alternatives. I am thankful that many folks on this site have shared their opinions on these alternatives. I have chosen to use the Jet Boil, because it meets my needs. It is packed in a stuff sack with the rest of my "kitchen" and fits conveniently in my pack, it is what works for me. Thank you for sharing......Hap py Trails.

Their site lists it at $45.

I have a JetBoil, but I don't see much use in this with the JetBoil pretty much self containing the canister, cups, and burner already.  Even the silverwear attaches to the sides already.  But yeah if you did want extra pack room, you should couldn't carry it outside your pack as is. 

The weight of the item would be useful for those that count our ounces.

I think it's cool that you've switched over to the PALS ladder system, I've been looking at a few MOLLE packs myself. Have you ever considered custom making your own gear for it? Check out this site, you might get a kick out of it. DIY Tactical  I'm looking at a sewing machine just for making my own repairs and custom gear. I can see where you might like having pouches for equipment, especially if you're like me and you end up being a pack mule for others

i've been a member over there for years. unfortunately i can't even draw a straight line so i know sewing is out. i have a RAID atm, but i'm saving up for a kifaru navigator in m/c with a couple long pockets. will run me $600 for the pack and another $110 for the long pockets. yes i've drank the koolaid. and it's wonderful. course for that kind of money i could get a mystery ranch pack as well.

Holy crap that is expensive. I'll stick with ordering the cheap Russian surplus stuff. Really though, if you're used to carrying heavy loads military gear is the way to go. I still carry an old school Army canteen from time to time.
