Re: ltwt cook stove
As an Alaska, I vote Kaladi. Have the bumper sticker. Cafe del Mundo #2 but no way ever I mention the those bully guys.
When it comes to weight and of course my opinion, I believe a filter has little value Vs boiling water in a pot that you already are taking, and using a fire with wood that is available. I never could understand carrying a filter in Alaska. Use a coffee filter / the little coffee bag to strain the water. Once used up, burn it.
Freeze dried meals not only taste terrible in my and many other opinions, they add weight when flying and packing the bush, and what to do with the empty foil packages. Burned them too.
Using dried foods like soups and meals, place them in a freezer bag. Sharpie on the outside what it is and any directions you may need. Use a coffee cup or spoon to scoop out the dried meal, place the scooped meal with the hydrating water in a cooking bag. Place the cooking bag with meal and water inside your pot along with the water you plan to boil as your drinking water. Boil water and the meal at the same time. This saves fuel, time and weight to include clean up. The cooking bag can be reused, clean it with pieces of bagel or bread and eat the bread. On our super light trips like alpine goat, we ate from the cooking bag.
My Superfly stove with 330 pressure fuel can, lighter, tin foil wind screen, cup will fit inside a 1.5 liter ti pot and weighs less than the Jetboil, boils more water at a time, is faster boiling water and just as easy to twist, flick and burn. No argument but having and testing a Jetboil, I just did not buy into their advertising. Its a good system though but better exist.
