Hey all.
I need help! I'm starting march 1st on a thru-hike and don't know what to do about a stove. I have a very old whisperlite, that my parents used 30 years ago, and I've used it a bit in the last few years. I don't really like it. Never got used to priming it and all that.
Can someone instruct me to a good site or person who makes light stoves? Are there makeable stoves that do well in the cold? I've heard those alcohol soda can stoves are almost impossible to light in the cold. Is this true? Anyone started 3/1 or earlier used one before? Thanks 2 million 1 hundred 72
