[at-l] Stove and Boot Question

[Ferguson@xxxxxxx (Ferguson, J. Mark)]

You'll need a stove...but the question of which one will provide you with a=
 variety of possibilities that will make your head spin.  I'll start off by=
 saying I've moved from a Coleman Apex white fuel to a Primus Micro teeny-w=
eeny canister stove and will never go back (except for winter camping).

Don't count on being able to use an open fire.  Some places they're flat pr=
ohibited.  Weather conditions (read drought) may also force fire prohibitio=
ns.  This has been the case for the last couple of years.

Subject: [at-l] Stove and Boot Question



Looking for some feedback on stoves.  Do you really need one on the AT? Or
can you build fires on pretty much the entire trail?  Do you know much about
folding stoves?  I've found a couple, they're cheap and light and
small(about $10 and under 1 lb) will they hold up on the trail?  They run on
solid fuel(canned fuel and solidified alcohol) each one having about 2 hours
of burn time.  Does anyone have experience with them?  Do they work well?

Also looking for some feedback on boots.  I'm going to be doing some weekend
hikes.  What do you suggest I can get for under $65?

Thanks all!
-Todd
