A portable little stove

When you are in the mood for an inexpensive but satisfying outdoor pastime in some mountainous area, to experience nature’s wonders, a wise backpacker knows very well the value of every square inch of space inside his or her bag. Sufficient food and water to sustain the trip, some gear and equipment for the adventure, a nifty first aid kit just in case, and other supplies you would need for a night of outdoor camping: these are just few of the things one would expect on any camping checklist.

Truth be told, carrying a backpack isn’t the most fascinating and thrilling experience on any trip, especially on your poor, would-be-strained back muscles, but it is “part of the deal” of camping, backpacking, or travelling outdoors. And with that comes the logical thinking to pursue the ideal scenario where your bag only carries the most essential, with a desire to be rid of things deemed superfluous. Every pound of additional weight counts.

Avid campers, picnickers, backpackers, and the like appreciate a great deal of portability and tend to rationally avoid pointless bulkiness. The smaller the size, the more lightweight it is, and the more space it affords for other things inside the bag, the better.
