Oh wow! I assumed they left way earlier than that. Good to know, thanks! We'll have to start hunting for a good alternative.
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...
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!
Will do. I've heard denat can vary greatly in its heat output, characteristic, etc. Is this true?
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...
Yes, that was my first thought as well. Hmm... the mystery continues.:-?
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. ;)
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...
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...
