They are very easy to keep lit once going. I have five different stove setups and this is the setup that I use the most. I have alcohol white gas and isobutane and they all our good. I just like not having to carry fuel as there is plenty in the areas I hike and hunt.
I used tin snips to make the cuts and then used a file to clean up the rough edges. It is very easy to do. I just weighed it and it ways 3.9 ounces for the stove and 3.1 ounces for the cup. I didn't include the 2 titanium stakes because I already have to carry them for my shelter.
This is the setup I use most of the time. It is a cutlery strainer from IKEA that costs about $4. The mug is an anodized Olicamp for about $10. Total weight is about 7 ounces I believe. Cheap and somewhat light. Boils 2 cups in about 7 minutes.
I have considered it where I hunt in the Missouri breaks here in eastern Montana. There is plenty of water where I hunt but it is so alkaline that if you drink it and you aren't used to it it causes a laxative effect. We end up walking out every couple days to resupply with water. We use some...

I agree with the 10-15% recommendation. I have shot arrows with FOC as high 17% but didn't see the benefits that I had hoped for. The injections I am shooting now are about 12%. I would like to try them at a higher FOC but with only 100 grain points available for the deep six inserts my choices...
Thanks for the info Aron. I did not know the hunting and tactical packs did not have the same size of pals webbing slots. I will just cut the unneeded ones off.
I should have clarified but my pouches have a small and a large 3 bar slider at each corner of the pouch. The bottom ones make noise as they aren't attached to anything. I think I will try a little Gorilla Tape to quiet them down.
I received my Duplex Timberline 1 bag and Bikini frame on Monday. I am very impressed so far. My question is what does everyone do with the bottom 3 bar sliders on the bottom of the pouches when they are attached to a hip belt. This morning when doing cardio it sounded like I had a bear bell on...
