    Hey Rob stinker about the fuel evaporation. Easy lesson to learn, thankfully it was only coffee you had to go without. The thing about alcohol stoves in the cold is its also better to keep your fuel in a bottle somewhere you can keep it warm. It can be really difficult to light and keep lit if its allowed to get really cold. Great little stoves otherwise and so nice how quiet they are if you are not in a hurry. Great little trip!

    Nice video. Small saw and small hachet would have been nice to tote along. Coffee would then not be a problem. Plus, gotta have a small fire when camping to provide warmth and ambiance. Bring little squeeze bottle of extra fuel next time. Enjoyed the video very much.

    • @BrooksandBirches

    I did a tarp setup on my AT thruhike a few times in blizzard conditions when I needed a break. I tied the middle of the tarp to a tree, secured rhe. Adjacent two corners around the base of the tree, then planted by hiking poles to secure the opposite two corners into the ground. It allowed a good reprieve from the wind and a single candle helped warm me up.

    • @BrooksandBirches
      @BrooksandBirches  Рік тому +1

      Nice! I'll have to try something like that. You essentially closed the tarp in and used the candle to heat the inside?

    Hello Rob - Enjoyed the adventure, except the part where there was no morning coffee. I cannot even start breathing in the morning until after I have my coffee. It would have been one long walk getting out of there for me, without coffee. Where the heck is Starbucks when you really need it. Take Care - Hope the shoulder heals up soon. Regards, Randy in Arizon. It is 28 degrees and snow on the ground here in Arizona tonight.

    I swear I could smell what you were cooking!! I cannot tell you how much I enjoy watching you set up your camp on each trip. Its like I am doing it myself, just not as good as you do. I like the lite set up, tho I know its not as warm as some of your others are but glad you conserved your bones by doing that. And no coffee, as Depeche Mode said, "sometimes God has a sick sense of humor". For me those alcohol stoves bite my ass, I stick my hand over to see if its lit, and F++k yes it is. Or I run out before get something cooked. Wierd. Again the God humor thing. Thanks!!

    • @BrooksandBirches
      @BrooksandBirches  Рік тому

      Haha yeah that was my first time using one and I couldn't tell if it was lit or not! I like the idea of just being able to buy one big jug of denatured alcohol rather than those tiny propane bottles all the time but it took a heck of a long time to boil that water!

      You need to have one with the right R-Value. R-value is essentially the way to measure a substances insulating properties. The lower the R-Value the less insulating it will be. This sleeping pad has one of the highest R-values available at 6.9 I believe
