ImageThe Camp Chef Stryker 200 can run on either propane or butane, that is a very desirable option.U.S.A.-(AmmoLand.com)- When we’re in the outdoors doing our activities, we’re hitting it hard. It can be intense. On a good elk hunt, by the third day I can barely walk. I’m so sore, and I think that I’m in at least mediocre shape. We’re also burning a lot of calories. Sure, sometimes we can eat a cold meal like a sandwich but I’m not eating a dry protein bar 3x’s/day for 7-days straight. I want some hot meals and a hot cup of coffee. So there are certain times that you need a backpacking stove and the Camp Chef Stryker 200 is a great choice. Camp Chef Stryker 200 Camping Stove Let’s list a few times when you’ll need a stove:
  • It is super wet and there’s no dry wood.
  • There is a fire ban in the backcountry.
  • The area that you’re in is super dry/windy and you’re scared of starting a forest fire.
  • You don’t want to build a fire and make smoke thereby spooking your game.
  • You’re hunting in super deep snow and can’t build a fire.
  • You’re getting pounded by rain/snow and want to cook a quick meal in your tent before crawling into your sleeping bag.
  • You want to whip up a hot meal or hot cup of coffee out in the boat.
Do I always carry a backpacking stove? No. But when I need one they sure are handy. If you’ve never used one, you’ll be amazed at how fast they bring the little pot of water to a boiling level. You can whip up a lot of different kinds of food as long as you have some hot water available. Backpacking meals, coffee, hot chocolate oatmeal or instant dried potatoes. Also always carry a couple of dry packages of Lipton soup in case you have to rescue someone, warm-up someone after they fell in the river or finding someone half-frozen in the snow. I mainly use mine for backpacking when fire bans are in effect or maybe on a real cold elk hunt. I’m sure in time you’ll find you own applications such as a Bug-out bag, Rescue bag etc. So, what are the ins/outs of a Camp Chef Stryker 200 stove? Camp Chef claims that you can bring a ½ liter of water to a boil in 2-minutes. It can function on propane or butane, that’s a big plus. Another big deal, like all backpacking stoves they’re designed to be super compact and everything possible stores inside of another part. Carry a lightweight plastic bowl and coffee cup and you can whip out a hot meal and a piping hot cup of coffee anywhere in almost any kind of conditions. It doesn’t add any weight or bulk but if you throw in a couple of motel coffee packs and a couple of Lipton dry soup mixes so you can warm up and gather your thoughts in an emergency.
