walking

The meeting this afternoon was cancelled so I took the opportunity to at last walk further than just round the village.

I bought this stove back in January but have not had an opportunity to use it. I keep it in a pack in the boot of the car, with the Sierra cup, some water and coffee, for days like today when I had not planned for a brew stop.

It worked OK but there were a lot of flames and it left more residue in the stove than I expected. But it was compact, easy to carry with three pots of fuel and a wind shield packed inside it and it boiled about 300ml of water on one fuel portion (in windy conditions). As a stand-by stove with well packed fuel for long term storage it is just what I was looking for.
