[pct-l] old svea

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

Trailhacker has a jet boil now. The other night he used it to test  
out some trail meals he's working on. He got his water boiling in  
what seemed like 30 seconds. Talk about fuel lasting forever. Even if  
it takes twice or four times as long outside it's still impressively  
efficient. And even if there is some stove that is more efficient,  
I'm seriously jealous of his ability to eat hot food nearly instantly.
