I forgot my wind shield, so it took way longer and way more fuel than necessary. But we got there in the end. It was just a day hike, after all.

For those curious, this is a "cat can" stove, or "super cat". I can't speak to its effectiveness, as I used it wrong. But a lot of people really like it. And it weighs basically nothing!
