Redhead - a couple of things,
1-Be sure to try the stove before you go. Take it apart and put it back 
together to make sure you know how. Sometimes the screw is too tight and the 
fuel doesn't flow properly, so make sure it works first.
2- Sleep with the fuel bottle - it will light more easily.  For winter 
camping, I have made a cozy out of an old wool sock to keep the bottle 
warmer.
3.  For snow camping, you can make a little platform out of a small square 
of cardboard covered with duct tape.    If you don't have a platform, the 
stove will sink into the snow.
4.  If you are melting snow for water, put a little water in the pot first 
or you will burn the pot.
