[at-l] Zip stove - questions

[chaynes@megalink.net (Clifford R. Haynes)]

Suppose I don't count because I thrued a long time ago, and didn't carry a
stove, but cooked on open fires in the fire pits. But if I do thru again it
will be with the Zip stove, unless someone comes up with something better.
But you can't go by me because I don't have much in common with many folks
on the trail today. I don't do hostels, hotels, huts, sporting camps,
lodges, or motels when backpacking. Soda can stoves and esbit, and soaking
liptons in warm water are fine for an over night, but not for me for any
extended backpacking trip.
