[pct-l] wood burning stove

[LOUIE KROLL]

We'll keep this short and we'll keep it simple so even the mentally 
challenged out there can follow:

1)  Wood products are renewable and a very viable and acceptable choice 
of fuel for cooking and heating on the trail.

2) Your guilt level for choosing duff, twigs, sticks in order to heat 
your food or heat your self should amount to zero.

3)  Any and all clowns who think that using Espit tabs, or white gas, or 
propane/butane are obviously confused about the entire 
drilling/refining/transportation process that delivers those shitty 
little containers for your oh, so convenient use.

Real through hikers, real hikers in general, don't worry about whether 
or not they can jack up their cute little butane stoves at the next 
resupply.  Because all the fuel one needs to boil a pot of water or fry 
a fish is right under your boots.  And that is not a crime, it is not 
theft, it is just one more way to say thank you for all the gifts the 
mountains give to us.  And if you aren't smart enough to walk a hundred 
yards off the beaten path to find your fuel and spread your impact, then 
maybe you should have kept to the road head to begin with, where the car 
was close enough so that when your cutting edge stove failed, you could 
still run back to Jack in the Box in time for breakfast.
