I also need to re-work my stove with smaller jets. This thing is a booze pig in the woods, but for some reason sipped in my kitchen during testing. Maybe ill break down and hit up one of the cottage guys for some of there goods. It is cool that this community has such great craftsmen and women. I also enjoy the DIY part of this hobby as well.
This was by far my lightest pack on an overnight trip (although I didn't weigh it) I have to say I didn't miss anything, ate well, and still didn't take some thing out of my pack. I know I can go lighter and go further because of it.
Bond Cliffs here I come !!!
