Title: On the topic of campfood/beverages.
Post by: Toecutter on November 09, 2018, 10:51:10 AM: I thought I'd post a link to this, I have no affiliation with it, but I'm a 100% fan of it. It's the greatest rig for moto camping, backcountry camping, I even keep it in the vehicle in the "winter emergency box". I can store a bunch of stuff inside it to maximize pack space, and it's super light.The biggest weight comes from the fuel bottle... it burns methyl hydrate, so fuel is super easy to come by and dirt cheap. Quick boil in the morning for that hit o' everyone's favourite early morning drug, and another if you choose to actually eat, too. Works well in windy conditions.

Honestly, I love mine. I have the larger one and it's more than adequate for my wife and I when Moto-camping, but thinking of picking up the smaller one for those solo trips, too.

I also have a small stove that burns kindling to boil water if you know you are going to be in a wooded area. You'd be surprised how little wood it takes to boil water.

An excuse to keep some emergency Everclear in the bag? I like it ...

Well, Damn! I would have stocked up if I had known they were going to discontinue. Haven't been able to drink alcohol for a couple years now. Doesn't mix well with the prescription stuff.

There's another similar rum that I think has also gone for the same reason. Both have disappeared up our way altogether.
