[pct-l] Stove for Southern CA PCT

[Brian McLaughlin]

A stove that blows out in minimal wind is not my
idea of a good stove to take on a PCT thru-hike,
unless of course, you don't mind dealing with your
stove going out constantly, and being it difficult or
impossible to use on a frequent basis.

Have you tried a windscreen arrangement with it?
