    Thank you for the information, Yukon! You think the bugs are going to be worse than southern Mass.? We came up with a back-up plan in case the LT was out (though it sounds like it's back in! It's...

    Oh wow! I assumed they left way earlier than that. Good to know, thanks! We'll have to start hunting for a good alternative.
  3. Mud Season

    I was hoping mud season might end a little early this year. You think it would still be too mucky mid-late May (~13th-17th) even with the crazy March? I'll look into your suggestions, those might be...
  4. Is a Mid-May 5-day SOBO on Southern LT/AT a bad idea?

    A friend and I are making plans for a hike along the southern LT/AT. We've both done overnight trips, but this will be our longest hike. I have read that the LT can be awfully mucky in May, but with...

    Hmm. I keep my pens near it, but I did use the pot at home on the stove with all the same accoutrements (Aeropress/water/etc.) and didn't have a flavor, so I'm thinking it must be related to the...

    Hmm, that's an interesting question. I have not tried the same setup with a different stove, though I should say that I get flames from every hole all the way around... is it possible that it's...

    Nope, I keep it in my pocket or in a pouch. I don't keep anything in my cookset other than, occasionally, gorp.

    Alright then, I'm sold, I'll pick it up tomorrow. I appreciate all the help. I love the simplicity and efficiency of my alcohol stove, but the slight smell/taste is very unappetizing, even appalling!

    Excellent question, and unfortunately the answer is no. I store it in a separate, screw top plastic tupperware "jar." The pot hold either a zippie of gorp or nothing at all depending on how much room...

    The Dasani bottle is about 1.5 weeks old, so I don't think that is it, but I wonder if that very soft, pliable plastic that is often found in the cap might break down faster. The bottle is labeled...

    I'm currently drinking on a stiff Ethiopian Yirgacheffe that I love, so it definitely has some kick, but as far as I can tell all I get is a headache from the tainted water. ;)

    Lid, etc.

    Thanks for the suggestions and comments all of you. I do use a lid when I use the stove and always have (even on the previous pot). I'm not sure what the heck it is that I'm smelling/tasting, but my...

    Alcohol Stove (Heet Fuel), taint?

    Hi all, this is my first post, but I've been lurking for a while, and these forums have been incredibly valuable for me!

    My concern/question is this: I've been using a simple alcohol stove with...
