    I like mine for wood fires more than stove top. Stainless isn't the heat transfer monster than aluminum is. I have yet to even melt off the original plastic lid handle, but will likely replace it...

    Anyone have a photo or two on how they may have incorporated frame pieces into the suspension on a backpack? I'm working on my own and will probably be using a ZPacks frame into it. I haven't seen...

    My only addition to this would be to "cowboy camp" if weather is not threatening. It makes for easier/quicker striking of campsite.

    FWIW: tent systems are generally lighter if grams matter to you. Others have hung the entire way (incl. GSMNP). It's entirely doable, and one never wakes up in a puddle.

    Screw horses and their riders. Those hay-burners do more trail damage than 50 humans, or 10 mountain bikers. I couldn't care less that they "freak out". Shows how stupid an animal they are.
