[pct-l] Wind Screen for Stoves

[Laura Fox]

If you don't have a stove already, you should check out the "Caldera Cone"
stove system: http://www.traildesigns.com/caldera-cone.html  It has this
built-in windscreen/potstand thingy that I think is totally brilliant and
awesome.  You can cook in high winds with it, it requires no fiddling, and
it makes your pot super stable too so you never have to worry about your pot
tipping over either.  All pros, no cons!  I would definitely marry mine and
have its baby.

Yup folded foil.  I used a hole punch to put some holes in the bottom for
air flow.  I love my wind screen.  I would marry it and have its baby if I
could.
