Jetboil’s OG Flash has been a staple of my camp and overlanding kits for years. The dead-simple design boils water quickly and reliably, and the entire kit packs down into a very travel-friendly footprint, making it ideal for everything from overnighting backpacking trips to extended off-road/car camping expeditions. Now, the popular camp tool is getting a reboot to make it better in every way.

The next-gen version, dubbed the Jetboil Flash 1.0L Fast Boil, isn’t an all-new product, but rather a substantial upgrade that fixes the most common minor issues of its predecessor. Most notable is the turn-and-click igniter system with a built-in position indicator that works just like your stovetop at home. So, there’s no need to bring a lighter or separate ignition source, and it’s easier to set the temperature than ever. Just push, click, and you’re cookin’.

The design also features a thermochromatic heat indicator integrated into the cozy to let you know at a glance when your water is ready. Other welcome improvements include heat-resistant grips around the base that make for safer and easier handling, a ceramic-encased electrode, and a sturdier, three-point locking system to ensure the entire unit is properly connected, minimizing the risk of spills and burns. Now, unpacking and setting up the system — including the lidded cookpot, the burner base, the fuel canister, and the canister stabilizer — takes barely 30 seconds. Boiling half a liter of water takes just two minutes. Fill it with water, hit the igniter, and you’re ready to prepare your favorite backpacker meal in roughly three minutes.

Dometic, an outdoor tech company, has just introduced Recon, a stackable, modular cooling system designed to stay cold for up to eight days.

One of the most exciting aspects of Recon is its compact design. “We’ve all wrestled with coolers that don’t stack or fit. Recon fixes that,” says Josh Militello, President of Segment Mobile Cooling Solutions at Dometic. “It’s cold storage that packs tighter, stacks cleaner, and moves easier. No wasted space. No extras.

The best place to see this is in downtown Spokane, specifically at the famous Riverfront Park.
