My current 'goto' setup -works for 2 people OK (if used dehydrated food) Pan,Mug,Stove,Cone,Lighter,Fuel Measure,Spork,J cloth weigh:
+ 120ml of fuel does for a 2 nighter Initially I made a
Caldera Clone Flissure (from Captain Paranoias printer script design) for my MSR Ti Kettle to take on the TGO Challenge. I had been using a Foil Cone Clone, but the packability was somewhat irritating i.e. It was too big to fit in the pan, and being foil needed a cover to protect it (I used a cut down juice bottle) The Flissure cone is a 2 piece cone clone which can nest inside the cookpot. I have been using a Red Bull chimney stove (8g) and the cone height was originally built for that.
This year I've settled on using a
Starlyte stove instead. Although twice the weight(
) it has many practical advantages - such as non spill, and lightable out of the wind - e.g. sheltered inside my jacket before use. Due to the Starlyte being shorter than the stove, I epoxied a 'base' (bottom of as drinks can - 3g) to make it the correct height/flame gap as the cone/stove were designed for- flame gap distance is critical for efficiency NB my recent cones are made from US style flashing which is springy and robust - more so than the 'real' Caldera Cones(though a little 'heavier' and harder to work with than 'thick' foil as generally used)
Nesting package - plenty room still left for teabags and Starbucks Via!
