Those stoves work great! I've seen many of them along the trail. I've never made a stove with the insulation, but my gut feeling is that it would last a thru-hike. I also have a feeling that the stove in the video may work fine without the insulation. The downside of the stove in the video is that it needs to be primed I.E. heated up before being lit, but thats no big deal. Whatever you choose, I wouldnt worry to much about it breaking. The stoves are so easy to make, you could make one at any trailtown. Also, you wont have a problem borowing someone elses if you step on yours, because everyone will have one. Lastly you will come across free stoves in the hiker boxes and at outfiters along the way. People love to make them and give them away. I think it becomes adictive.
