Yup. Before burn bans became what seems to be the norm, I was planning to use a Tri-Ti out there. Not worried about boiling speed, and I like the wood-burning option. But since it doesn't seem likely that I'll be able to get from Mexico to Canada without encountering a burn ban, I'll just have to save the Tri-Ti for shorter hikes.
