There are lots of bike trails here, best way to travel really in the flatlands. Although there are lots of nice rails to trails projects popping up. You really have to dip into the more shady definitions of stealth camping around here but you can string 500+ mile trips together and pedal from town to town with your pack in a trailer next to your cooler of beer. Bit like canoeing without a river...

Quote from AnotherKevin: “Quote from Just Bill: “If you want to walk around the woods at this point that's your problem, but realize that any miles walked or trails traveled will earn you no credit towards being a real hiker and will only be for your personal enjoyment.” Suits me fine! See you out there!” gif.008 gif.008 zacktly

Quote from AnotherKevin: “Quote from milkman: “Quote from BirdBrain: “ Maybe I should be changing my snowman signature soon.” It's only March. You still got April to go.” Where BB is, the four seasons are Winter, June, July and August.” :cheer: In the Midwest, the Yuppers are the regional equivalent of the Mainers. They say there is Fall, Winter, Spring, and that one day in August.

BB- You are playing with two designs that I never did- the capillary hoop and the bud bottles. But that said I think you will either figure it out and make your pretty can's work, or settle on the already perfect stove design and seek out some pretty can's to match it. In that vein may I suggest one such pretty can you could likely work with-

Maybe my eyeball tape is broken but... Looks like the burner holes are lower due to the fiddling you had to do to get the bud collet to work. Which made the holes lower down the wall and unable to get up and over the lip to light? Had that issue before with the coors cone top. Coke can collet is flat, this one curved a bit so more volume and less pressure coming out for the fuel to light (pure speculation) For the inner wall- what about a slightly bigger thin wall can and over lapping one corrig…

Theoretically to be a real hiker you must have the best gear and it must be the latest version, as gear constantly comes out other then the miles spend driving to REI to purchase upgrades it is impossible to earn sufficient trail miles as you cannot really hit the trail until you have the right gear. Although the right way to buy gear is of course to drive to the home of a cottage manufaturer and meet them in person and purchase the right gear from the right people and most working people should…

Quote from LIhikers: “Quote from tauwillow: “......... It wasn't until two years ago that I really started any kind of hiking though, after a fantastic boundary waters vacation. I'm totally hooked now.” Did you do that boundary waters vacation in the summer or winter? My wife Kathy and I have been there twice in the winter time to experience dog sled camping and thought it would probably make a nice summer spot too.” Boundary Waters is a gateway drug that should come with a warning label.

Quote from BirdBrain: “Here is my dilemma: I can boil 2 cups of 70° water in under 4 minutes with 15 ml of SLX using the side burner design that I am trying to perfect, but I cannot seem to transfer that technology to the aluminum Budweiser bottles. Another issue is that it will not prime on its own outside a cone. It primes with a woof inside the cone in about 8 seconds. The only can that I can seem to make work with this design is a 7.5 ounce soda can. The stove only weighs 10 grams. I am leer…

BB- Not sure if it would get too hot but you may consider the inside burner with taller sidewalls to serve as windscreen/potstand. Build the stove as it currently sits but run the upper sidewalls up, roll the top, and punch a row of hole punch sized holes for ventilation and to let a little flame spillout. You may need a lower row for air intake but it may make a very efficient stove. Basically add the top of the elevated Cat stove design I posted before with the inside burner capilary stove you…

Quote from rocksNsocks: “Quote from LoboSolo: “ask your boy toli” Where's he is...yous guys didn't run oft another hiker did ya....your goin backwards.” In this case I believe you are going forward.

Hey Max Patch- We haven't always been the best of friends but I have to say that your new avatar is one of the funniest things I've seen in some time. Well done Sir! gif.004

Some folks are defined by thier faith and claim righteousness for it. Other folks are righteous people and by example define thier faith. RIP to one of the latter.

My wife is due in early June, hopefully she's au natural and everyone is healthy. But wife and baby will probably be out of commission for most of the summer so- If I can figure it out, Just Bill and Little Will will be camping and hopefully backpacking. Probably dreaming but I have some minor hopes to bring him out and do Maryland this year (he's 3 1/2 this summer) Gotta make my own pack if that's the case as even SUL gear none of the kid carrier packs are meant for solo parents, they all top o…

I was thinking mini version for small pots- still no pot stand, just a smaller version- but no worries- it's your problem now, don't let me add another dimension to your madness. Yar- careful with that new one. I had a few runaways and dangerous combos. The one I showed that melted the walls of the can and the turkey pan windscreen comes to mind as does the double pinhole jet experiment that spit flame. The capillary design seems like a sweet way to build pressure, which is fun to play with. Bes…

Rickb over at TOS uses a Svea as his Avatar. Might be a good contact or source for unloading it.

Quote from "1azarus" post=18794 Just Bill: “ Talk to Rasty- Mountain Mike made me stare at his strobe and then Rasty took that picture. Although if you look at the strobe and look at the picture I look weirdly to the left, then to the right, then I turn into Hikerboy, then back to me but if you stare too long I come out of the screen and nobody wants that. That strobe needs to be stopped.”
