Limited-Edition Jetboil x Bound For Nowhere Flash Celebrates Outdoor Exploration
June 11, 2024 — Racine, WI /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Jetboil®, the #1 choice of backpackers, campers, and adventurers*, proudly unveils its collaboration with the renowned adventurers behind Bound For Nowhere, MAK and Owen. This first-of-its-kind partnership from Jetboil includes sponsorship of the couple’s latest film, “Press On: A High Sierra Trail Story,” and a limited-edition Jetboil x Bound For Nowhere Flash Cooking System, designed to capture the spirit of adventure and exploration in the great outdoors.
The Bound For Nowhere team has been traveling full-time since 2016, searching for and finding beauty and inspiration wherever they roam. In August 2023, the pair set out for a grand adventure to hike the over 70-mile High Sierra Trail. Drawing inspiration from their experience on the trail, they worked with the Jetboil team and artist Tyler Anthony to bring the adventure and beauty of the High Sierra Trail to life in the limited edition Jetboil x Bound For Nowhere Flash design.
“At Jetboil, we believe life’s greatest adventures begin with a simple spark – inspiring you to explore, excel, and seek excitement in the great outdoors,” said Ally Spaight, Jetboil Marketing Manager. “We knew MAK and Owen were the perfect duo for a collaboration and our team is excited to celebrate fueling epic adventures with this new limited edition version of our bestseller, the Jetboil Flash.”
Jetboil’s Flash is optimized for efficiency. At only 13.3 ounces, it is lightweight, boils water lightning fast, and comes with a fuel canister stabilizer and a bottom cup that doubles as a measuring cup or a bowl. The new Bound For Nowhere limited edition design features a unique koozie graphic inspired by a landmark photograph taken from the trail. The illustration showcases a solo hiker on a cliff’s edge to evoke the solitude and peace of the outdoors. The sunset color palette reflects Bound For Nowhere’s signature style, adding warmth and resonance to the design.

“With all of our photography and video work, it’s always seen on screen and we’ve rarely seen it in a tangible form,” states Owen of Bound For Nowhere. “To just be able to hold the Flash in your hand and see this item that you hiked over 70 miles to inspire, it is really gratifying.“
The Jetboil and Bound For Nowhere partnership is showcased in the latest film, “Press On: A High Sierra Trail Story,” documenting MAK and Owen’s adventure, fueled by Jetboil, as they traverse the rugged High Sierra Trail. This cinematic journey captures the myriad of highs and lows experienced on the trail, breathing life into the inspiration behind the limited-edition design.
