[pct-l] Cat Stove and Ebbits Fuel Tablets

[metam01 at earthlink.net (Monty Tam)]

Hey Switchback

Like the spaceblanket stuff.

Haven't tried the Catstove yet.  

I've been using wing stoves and Esbit tabs for my last 3000 plus miles.
I just put about 1500 on a .3 oz (includes the pot stand) homemade titaium
wingstove.
Free pattern (hit print) and not free titanium are at thru-hiker.com.
1.3 ounce storebought models are around $3.00 there.
There's also some great solid fuel effeciency studies and a camparative
analysis to other fuels and their effect on the average packweight.
