    I have an old apple juice tin fashioned into a hobo stove. Depending on the regulations of using such an item (ie, burn ban) it can be a life saver. I may use it an odd time to cook on but i have my MSR Whisperlite mainly for cooking. The big part of the hobo stove is that the fire is comforting, a source of heat on a chilly night and it gives you something to do. Boredom can wreak havock on ones mind. Always important to keep your mind stimulated.

    I can answer you second question.

    sometimes you can’t build fires because the land is too dry and theres a risk of burning down alot of suff…

    you save money and take off. You just do it. Not like there is a trick.

    b/c you are not allowed to make fires everywhere. And that takes gathering wood and developing a way to get your stove over the fire. His stove and pot weighs less than a pound im sure. Nothing at all.

    ok.. luxury items but you dont carry a knife?!?!?!?!? that is essential…. you could have a folder mini sharpener. both of those could add up to 4 oz max if you carry a good benchmade folder..

    I have one question and I’m not being an ass. How do you guys afford to take off of work long enough to hike for that long.
    Just thought of another one. Why do hikers carry a stove and fuel as apposed to making a fire for cooking. That could cut a lot of weight.
