A few UK backpackers seem to give it much attention nowadays maybe because they've gotten been able to catch up with more well-known brands or whatever the latest lightweight product from China or Korea is but it doesn't mean the Hydra doesn't still have its merits.

It's a relatively compact and light stove that burns all liquid fuels, including white gas and propane butane, using one nozzle. It's a typical stove, with a burner attached to a body, which is secured by three support legs that fold out. A pump sits on the top of the fuel hose and the generator loop is positioned around the inlet, and the flame spreader sits above that. The burner itself is a low-speed flame that makes it a little less impacted by winds.

Primus OmniLite Ti

This stove comes with an fuel pipe that sits flat on the floor and is connected to the tank in a snap.

The Primus Omnilite is an excellent stove, but it needs maintenance to ensure it is operating correctly. It is a risk because it gets flaming when priming. This issue occurs with all liquid fuel stoves that utilize a secondary spindle on the stove end instead of a coil to vaporize the fuel.

Another issue is the fact that it requires different jets for each kind of fuel. If you cook using kerosene, then the jet hole will be smaller than if you were using gas. It's not a major issue but it's important to mention.

This is why MSR has created the Dragonfly stove, which is an efficient simmering burner. It's a similar design to the whistler, but it's smaller and has better performance. It's not as inexpensive as the Whistler Lite. The Soto Amicus stove and cookset is a fantastic alternative that provides a similar setup at half the price. It is also possible to purchase Whisperlite International or Universal for isobutane containers as well. Both versions use the same design and style, however, the Universal version is also compatible with canister fuel.

The stove will suffer some performance and flame odor efficiency if you choose to use non-Coleman gasoline, but this is a tradeoff for its versatility. Make sure to purchase gas that is not leaded and not that's enriched with alcohol or Methanol. This is because these kinds of fuels can cause the unit to degrade, leak, sputter and possibly even explode!
