I am not telling you what stove I use because I actually saw it in the "antiques" display of older stoves at Kirkam's the other day.:roflol: But REI still sells the fuel canisters so I don't see...

I summited Lone Peak via Bells canyon once with a friend. That is not, I repeat not, the brightest idea I ever had. It ended up being a dark to dark 16 hour epic (that includes when we tried to lay...
