If you’re looking to drop the weight of your pack or camping gear – and let’s be honest, who isn’t? – the MSR PocketRocket 2 Stove is an ultra-compact screw-in canister stove for minimalist solo trips. Smaller, lighter and more compact than its predecessor, the latest generation offers fast boil times – taking just 3½ minutes to boil 1 litre of water. It also boasts precision flame control when you need to simmer, while the WindClip windshield boosts efficiency in breezy conditions. New folding pot supports create an exceptionally tiny packed size, yet they can also now accommodate a wider range of cooking vessels for maximum versatility

A staple of multiple expeditions for more than 50 years, MSR gear is trusted by climbers, mountaineers, explorers and researchers in some of the highest and coldest places on earth. The brand has earned an enviable reputation for turning out reliable, durable, high-performance kit – and has come a long way since its founding by Seattle engineer and lifelong mountaineer Larry Penberthy in 1969. Back then, MSR – or Mountain Safety Research, to use its full moniker – was solely focused on improving the safety of climbing equipment. Why? Because Larry knew that better equipment meant greater adventures.
Since then, the product range has grown hugely, but the core ethos remains the same. That’s why MSR gear is characterised by its user-led design that prioritises functionality, simplicity and reliability, wherever you roam in the great outdoors – whether you’re on a weekend camping trip, or perched on a portaledge 2,000ft up one of the world’s big walls.
