[pct-l] old svea

[Ned Tibbits]

That's half the fun of using a SVEA, how loud it is! It's like camping at 
the airport or sleeping beside a high sierra creek during the thaw (tons of 
white water roaring all over the place).

The other fun half of using the SVEA is priming it and bringing it up to 
that wonderful roar! Something you do when you're trying to wake up--makes 
you think and pay attention, then want coffee!

I took my Svea 123 on the AT in '06.  On advice of a Whiteblaze poster, I 
tried to replace the seal in the screw-in cap.  Couldn't find just the seal, 
so I bought an entire new cap, with new seals.



Tough, dependable stove, but LOUD!  If you accidentally step on it, you 
twist an ankle.
