Thanks, I just ordered one of those plates for the Fire Maple stove. ;)

My bike trip was fast, so, I agree. Time quotient is probably fairer way to compare. A 100 day AT might not be half the cost of a 200 day voyage...

I rode a XC bike tour (ACA Northern Tier) a few years after hiking the AT, and made similar comparisons. My AT hike cost was $1000/month (2008, total...

The Restocking Gods smiled on me! REI has the Hillsound Flexsteps in my size! They should arrive next week. We had an ice fog overnight. I might...

Here is Samantha (Sammi), owner of the North Troy B&B. She is a fantastic cook. Her scrambled egg creation was out of this world. ...

And thanks to Slow Trek and Drop Dead Fred for adding the counter factuals, both financial and otherwise. The more ways you look at something the...

Have to agree with PennyPinchyer for years what was it an article and hikers saying it cost 2-3 dollars a mile. Well most hostels are 30-40 bucks. ...

Jon at Flat Cat Gear has been playing with them and has some great ideas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAvEgn_8iEY&t=6s ...

Thanks to the OP, very interesting. I am planning now and those numbers do not surprise me for 150 days. Interesting might be a point of reference...

I haven't but I agree with MikekiM that it probably isn't necessary. I've used mine down to 14°F and it boils very cold water in about 5 minutes....

which is actually something to take into consideration. I mean you really cant say you spent $5000 on food, when if you had been home you would...

For some reason people expect prices on the trail, to do the trail, should be frozen in time. I have been reading for years about the $1-$2 per mile...

How much does it cost to not hike? The price to my mental health can not be calculated.

Have any ideas on a better way to reach your water bottle stuffed in the side pocket? I can sometimes get it out and convince myself I can get it...

Some good info in this thread on the Sterno Inferno also: ...

I've got a Stratos 50 if you are interested. Only used for 9 miles. It's flawless.

Thanks to cmoulder for recommending the Inferno pot a few years ago. And thanks to Zelph for hooking me up with the Ti cone windscreen/pot stand. ...

Forgot to mention that when I have residual fuel left in the XL3 I carry it separately from the cookset even though the lid is on I still get a whiff...

Thanks - I'll take a look at the tomorrow.

"...I used a simple spending app on my iPhone called, “Spending”... It's called Spending Tracker.

See Jetboil Stash thread for weight savings.

Get a can of Armour Vienna Sausage, holds 9.25 oz. and the xl3 might fit and allow lid to fit. My Inferno is packed away right now and not sure if I...

How do I find the trailhead in Williamstown? Is it well marked?

How do I find the trailhead at the edge of town in Williamstown? Is it marked?

I have both. I carried the Minimo for two years, but switched last year to the Zip. It is very fuel efficient and quick to boil, but its really only...

Thanks! One more curiosity question... Have you considered and/or experimented with putting anything on the outside of the inferno pot to...

The Toaks 375ml fits inside. I put Reflectix cozy and SnowPeak Hot Lips on it, and I use the Toaks Siphon burner which fits inside the cup. I don't...
