I'm really proud to show huibenLAB ALU3, my ultralight ultracompact infinitely expandable modular IGT Frame Table system that I designed with three criteria in mind:

1. A single table has to be expandable from 1.5U - 6U+ with a single component and a seamless uninterrupted IGT rail.
2. The entire table (even 6U+) has to be a solid block smaller than One IGT Unit to fit in a 1U Gear Bag.
3. Tables or Legs can be securely stacked vertically.

Combining the philosophies of ultralight backpacking and modular shelving with the versatility of Snow Peak's expansive IGT system and the feel of a luxury Apple product I was able to get the entire pictured setups including all gear and tables fit into the 1U Gear Bag with even 6U+ frames taking up virtually no space at all. It's perfect for bikepacking, motocamping, or just freeing up space to bring significantly more gear.

It even has built in support for IGT Connection Hook Extensions, TTA Frame threads, and 1/4" Pole threads all around. Legs are compatible with Snow Peak's extensions and frames so existing gear can be height matched while being significantly lighter and more portable.

The 3U setup with 330mm legs (35cm table height) is 8x smaller in volume and 4x lighter in weight than the Snow Peak 3U Collapsible with 300/400mm legs! At only 41.6 x 6.4 x 4.7cm & 1160g (16.4 x 2.5 x 1.8" & 2lb 9oz) stored, and 79 x 43 x 35cm (31.1 x 16.9 x 13.8") set up.

If anyone is interested, I'm going to produce ALU3 kits in NYC so they're available for a limited discounted preorder until 5/31 on my brand's webstore huibenLAB!

Checked out the Seattle store last weekend and wow what a beautiful store. I grabbed 2 mini hozuki lanterns and also a silicone lid for one of my cups. Who’s going to the grand opening this weekend ?

Just reading up on the MK Stove and Rigel when i came across this image of a Floga being run on what appears to be wood pellets(? .... with the large coal bed probably)

I'm finding it difficult to locate any media, youtube reviews or anyone using a Takibi+Floga+wood pellets in this way. Yet i came across what looks like a official image from a Wood&Burn SP collab article.

• Has anyone else run their Taikibi+Floga in this way? What has been your experience?
• Are the holes in the coal bed small enough to prevent pellets from falling through?
• Would it be prudent to add a mesh layer (from those cheap mesh firepits) above the coal bed to prevent pellets from falling through?
• I understand that pellets already burn very hot and fast and the Floga would also act as a multiplier bringing up the heat even higher. Would this have a negative effect on the overall lifetime of a Takibi and Floga?

What would be some Pros/Cons of using this fuel type in such a setup?

tldr: Where i am, pellets are $1/kg while kindling is often double. if i could cheat a little with pellets, then toss in whole logs, it would bring my overall fuel costs down significantly.

I didn’t bring a lot of gear but I wanted to get the trailer build out for its maiden voyage a week or so ago. Just did a quick 3U IGT with flat burner set up for cooking and coffee. Fun fact, my Forester was a limited model that was actually made in Japan and shipped over here for the U.S. market. It’s one of the few all black everything vehicles that Subaru made and has black leather interior

Anyone know what could’ve caused these pinholes? I just opened my tent after last month’s camp and noticed them 😞 anyone experience this?

First camp this summer and a couple of discoveries.

1. Alpha Breeze ground sheet and floor mat is a game changer. This was so comfortable and I can't go back to what it was like before.

2. Turns out the Stainless half grill pro fits the BC parks fire rings perfectly! The Stainless lip kept it from moving around and it slid on and off like it was designed to. We brought it but chose not to Tabiki and discovered this by chance. We will be bringing it every time. Super convenient!

Saw them on Monday and debated for a whole day why in the world I'd spend over $100 on two cups. They really are beautiful though.

Hi all,

I left my boiling water on for too long started cooking dry. I noticed rainbowing (titanium oxide?) and was wondering if it’s still safe to eat from. I was wondering if the rainbowing from heat vs anodizing has a difference?

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the insight! I do like the well-loved look so it’s perfect
