The Solo Stove

[Mortblanc]

I see that some confusion has resulted from my post indicating that I have two stoves! Most of you do not understand my situation.

Gentlemen, I have been doing the camping thing since I was a child and have been actively "prepping" since 1970. Although trained in the military I am not of a military mindset and am not a member of a militia or other "organization". But I do try to be ready for almost anything, including armed conflict.

In 40 years ne can accumulate a vast amount of gear, especially if one buys quality gear that does not break and get tossed out!

I do not have a BOB full of gear, I have a homestead organized around my gear and I camp constantly. In this month of May I will spend 16 days out of the 31 in a camp. The dates are already scheduled.

Stoves: I have a Coleman in each vehicle, a two burner in the cargo trailer (a closed box trailer 6'x6'x12'), the expedition stove and another single burner multifuel unit in the cargo trailer. I have small tuna can alcohol stoves in each of the canteen/cup setups. The two Trangias are stashed in the RV (24' living space), which is self contained and has its own kitchen. I also have several braziers and a portable firepit. There is a small cast iron wood burner on my screened in back porch that can be moved into the house should emergency arise and a cord of wood stacked by the house.

I do not live in an apartment and I am not short on closet space. Due to death of my spouse I have been single for much of my adult life while making decent money and spending it as I saw fit. I saw fit to fill the empty spaces with gear, food and firearms, them purchase more space.
