1. The Wyoming lost and found TipiTarp?
Also, there is the
2. Biolite wood stove, that charges your cel phone besides cooking dinner...?

I've not seen anyone actually use the biolite for anything besides emergency power in case a call is needed on a dead cell phone. You'd have to be cooking a long long time in order to get a full charge. Plus, the biolite is pretty heavy. For the weight, i think you'd be better off with an external battery or a solar charger
