Ploder,

A few years ago I was soloing up on Quetico lake. I tested my gear before I left, but my first night up there my stove wouldn't work (the gasket on the pump and the valve had failed so no pressure would build and any pressure that DID build simply pushed fuel out through the control valve). I was fine cooking on a fire for the during of my trip but that got changed when I had three days of soaking rain. I couldn't get anything to catch fire it was so wet. I had to turn back because of it.
