Like why can't people work something that has all of the basic directions printed right on it? "so they didn't give a damn" ya, RTFM! Anyway.

Heehee.  I loaned my Whisperlite to my sister one year.  Upon returning she complained it was broken, said it never worked, was a piece of crap.  It just threw big sooty flames up 6' high.  After some investigation & showing her the instructions on the fuel bottle she blushed and complained no more.  RTFM sis.

Awesome story db.  A tarp, a hot meal & good friends makes miserable cold wet days the cozy trip highlight.
