Description:

Dave's Little Guide to Ultralight Backpacking Stoves. (Illustrated.) How you can hike lighter, hike better, hike simpler, make your own stoves and have lots of fun in the woods, either alone or with friends (if you have any). Featuring tips, stories and ravings from the author and his imaginary friends and relatives like Uncle Reinhold Pudzer, Citron Ella Schmelling, Joe "Dirty Maggot" Periwinkle the thru-hiker, and possibly some others too frightening to mention, like Aunt Lydia Pudzer, who provides frequent scoldings. And don't forget the extensive lexicon of stove and hiking terms which may make you shoot stuff right out of your nostrils, even without meaning to. Or the instructions on how to make five different kinds of ultralight stoves. That you can actually use. To burn your lunch with. Many pages of goodness at a reasonable price. And a genuine recipe or two. No, really. How can you beat that?
