no more public history for me, thanks, i did my tour. again. and again.i've seen someone talking about a "biolite" stove. wood is good if it hasn't been raining. i think i'd rather a solar panel atop my pack for the camera in my primitive flipphone.YankeeTarheel wrote: Sun Nov 03, 2019 1:37 pm REI has a small camp stove that uses wood and has a heat generator than can recharge a cell phone--and a little fan to fan the fire.
I'm not camping--I'm going to a situation where I need to be prepared to be self-sufficient: Water, power, etc. I'm bringing semi-portable solar panels--car trunk portable, not back-packing. Freeze-dried food, at least a month's worth.
Of course, we could have power and water...and I should have a full propane and gas cans. I'll be able to get plenty of wood, too, as long as it's not poisonwood!
