Quote from AnotherKevin: “Quote from hikerboy: “ no one has ever been told they're not welcome here there are no battle lines.” At the very least, there was a horrible miscommunication. It left me with quite a bad taste in my mouth.” If that bad taste comes from my views, it should be noted that I speak for no one but me. I certainly am not a spokesman for this site. I just have strong opinions about how people react (or don't react) to people being banned or disciplined elsewhere. At the very l…

Quote from OzJacko: “I used to golf. Handicap was 12. LW if TOS is "just an internet site" why do they feel it necessary to put the following on my logon? You have been banned for the following reason: TOS #13 Date the ban will be lifted:Never I have not been on the site since February and was previously banned until 25th May. I can only assume the ban was extended for my comments in here. By the way, I had paid for silver membership.” It is this kind of story makes me wonder about a great many …

Quote from CoachLou: “Memorial Day got you all Yankee Doodely , BB?” This constant whining about what happens on another site has. I feel like I am 15 and listening to my mother and her friends taking about the neighbors as they paint artex or whatever it is called. Taking a break. Later lurkers.

Someone please explain the need to debate/discuss TOS over here. Do they do the same about us over there? I underatand that we have freedom and they do not. I would suggest that with freedom comes a responsibility to act in a manner that shows responsibility and appreciation of said freedom. We should be showing the hiking world that there is a better way. Instead we justify the despot's actions. We prove that such freedom cannot be entrusted to people and that we need to be protected from ourse…

Quote from LoboSolo: “y'all take this typin' and hikin' **** too serious. Whiteblaze is just a website” Whiteblaze is a fantastic concept with great people contributing and an idiot at the helm. This place does not have that last issue. I wouldn't drink a glass of water with a lunger floating on top. Some would. That is their choice. It is just drink spit.

Quote from grayblazer: “ I would like this site better if people took the high ground and never mentioned that site (I'm a terrible example, ai know) I may go over there and delete my gallery. BB, would that be the most pathetic passive aggressive act? Good news from here ... I'm on my 2nd to the last dose of chemo. Doc says everything is going away. All praise to Jesus and all of you all who prayed for me. Thank you. I feel really good about this website.” Not sure what kind of act it would be,…

Quote from max.patch: “Quote from LoboSolo: “puttin' solar panels on shelters to charge cell phones is a stupid friggin' idea if this is what you're referrin' to” its beyond stupid.” Does this have something to do with a discussion on TOS? If so, that was is what is stupid. Let that freaking site go already. Or at least fight over there instead. Perhaps I am the one being stupid now. Would not be the first or last time.

Quote from WaxQueen: “Quote from Astro: “TW, I appreciate your avatar.” Whats TW mean? Sorry, not used to the lingo! Welcome Firerat!!! :lol:” TW is Train Wreck. I am BB. You are WQ. It gets confusing when there is a MilkMan And MountainMike. I call the 1st one ATM because of a previous name he had on some other unimportant site. After typing this, I looked to see what Astro meant. I think he meant TJ (TrafficJam). And on that note: I thank God for those who risked their lives so I could live as…

Quote from WiseOldOwl: “Lately Chin Music and I are butting heads,,,, any others feel the same way.? Hate to say it because I choose WOO years ago He is clearly alpha and barking up a tree,I am out on a limb. I gather he is a great guy... but I get a feeling he is throwing stuff in the face.. like cow plops. ON the fence ... love to read your posts.” I have been embarrassed too many times by my own faults to analyze the possible faults of others. One of my faults has been to see the faults of ot…

I am not sure if I have insulted every stove builder yet. I will try to dig my hole deeper with this "clarification". YouTube is littered with zombie Apocalypse prepper diy stove building tips. The videos proudly show how to build stoves that look like and run like crap. There seems to be some sort of glory in building stoves in 2 minutes. It reminds me of much modern art. There is willful ignorance about stoves. It is possible to build a stove that weighes less than 10 grams and can boil 2 cups…

I should add to my rant to make one thing clear. I am talking about homemade stoves. There are many talented builders out there selling quality products. I am not disparaging their craftsmanship. I am disparaging the efforts of people on par with me.

I wish I went more expensive on some things. Some things can be made for pennies. Other things should not be viewed as a one time expensive purchase. You should instead, divide the cost over the miles you think it might be used for. Ask yourself if it is worth a few more pennies per mile to carry a quality item. Believe me, you will have that discussion with yourself after you have carried an inferior item a few hundred miles. As an example, I so wish I bought a quality down bag. Warmer and ligh…

I don't mind salt on the trail. It is treated as a poison in my home, but a friend on the trail.

Quote from WiseOldOwl: “Quote from AnotherKevin: “Also, fuel efficiency. Under the questionable assumption that there was a constant rate of fuel consumption, the amount of alcohol that was taken to achieve the first boil was: 37 mm: 0.56 fl oz 41 mm: 0.54 fl oz 46 mm: 0.52 fl oz So the slower stove was marginally more efficient. There has to be a "sweet spot" for fuel efficiency, assuming a patient hiker. There will be a low level of flame at which the pot loses heat to the environment as fast …

Quote from max.patch: “did a 7 mile(mostly) new section of trail at kennesaw mountain national park. 69 when i started; 83 when i finished.” Man you are aging fast.

Quote from TrafficJam: “Sunny and 71. It doesn't get any better.” What about sunny and 72? :silly:

Quote from Drybones: “Quote from BirdBrain: “http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&list=UUrXDXL8MiQTmRM5H5tU7iWA&v=BepwaJrYpcM This sums it up. Power vs. efficiency. The choice is up to the builder. Thank you again TETKoba for your great videos.” So.....bigger is better, if you want to heat it up fast, smaller is better if you want it to simmer for a while.” He chose one element to demonstrate how you can change the properties of his stove. The hoop size, number of creases, heig…
