Nice Thread! Planning my 1st solo I am really interested as I am only going to be boiling water Jon

Jon......check Mat's SOL jetboil. Apparently that is what the stove excels in. Very lightweight, very efficient........

SOL......seems like they could of picked a different acronym  ;D. But wait a minute........evidently the SOL jetboil does one thing and one thing only......boil water (according to the reviews and info I read) so if your trying to fry some fish maybe you would indeed be SOL  ;D

Not so impressed with most of what I see in twig stoves......the solo stove was different. For trips less than two weeks I would probably pack fuel but after that a point starts being reached where food and fuel start to add considerable weight and bulk.

1st solo for Jon. Way to go dude. Be sure and bring paper and pen and a decent seat so you can do some writing.......surprising what good company can be had that way. Plan something hard, be ambitious, go to bed tired........no layover days! Just go baby!You won't have time to get lonely.......I love solo, no one to have to make happy, no constant meaningless background chatter drowning out the sound of the wind in the trees.......
