I wondered what the stove was you were using. It looks very similar to the MSR Pocket Rocket. The look nice, and I wondered how the output and fuel consumption was. Thanks for the info.
It's amazing how well you can sleep when out away from distractions and noise. Seems like I always sleep well.
Just to clarify one thing though, the flare and firestarter were propably ok by themselves, but batteries can heat up when touching +pos to +pos. (I always tape mine side by side when packed)
Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.
Oh. My batteries are all still side by side in their original packaging. I might have actually been alright.
As for my stove, these reviewers seem to have a more experience with it than I do, I was calculating off some specs I found awhile back

Great thread, hopefully myself and Lunchbox will be going out soon for a night or two to test some gear and such.
After looking at the different saw's you were testing and seeing that some worked and others didnt, if you get a chance try the Gerber Outdoors Gator II Combo Axe MFG# 22-41420 - RockyNational.com. We have used it on a few trips and it works very well. The axe and saw work great, and the saw fits into the axe handle.

I would absolutely love if I could do this on a buddy system. So far though, I haven't been too effective in getting anyone out with me.
I've been eyeing that combo axe for some time. I just haven't gotten around to picking it up yet. I've read reviews stating the saw falls out too easily though. Have you had any problem with it there?

Thanks guys!
I really can't wait to get some more experience and get past the basics to do some cooler things out there, like forage for wild edibles, or maybe be able to get a snap shot off to hit the rodent skittering in my AO. Of course trapping it would be easier. I had removed the mouse traps from my kit long ago, but I believe I may replace them now. They're small and light weight enough for it.

I havnt had any issues with the saw falling out, ive even cut wood with the axe with the saw still in the handle with no problems.

Interesting. There's a good chance I'll be adding this to my pile of gear soon then.
