I forgot my wind shield, so it took way longer and way more fuel than necessary. But we got there in the end. It was just a day hike, after all.

For those curious, this is a “cat can” stove, or “super cat”. I can’t speak to its effectiveness, as I used it wrong. But a lot of people really like it. And it weighs basically nothing!

    I used something like this at a music festival, after they’d banned every other type of stove. I found a lot of nerds on the internet who all raved about these little things and after using them I was inclined to agree.

    It’s the simplicity of them, they feel so peaceful to use. Yes they take a bit longer to boil than everything else but who’s rushing while camping.

      Good thinking! I still remember decades ago (late 80’s) I brought a stove and coffee to Pinkpop. You would not believe the amounts of beer of wine they offered for ‘just’ a cup of coffee.
