Porcupine Ultralight Adjustable Alcohol Stove
The Porcupine stove is my version of an adjustable passive air induction alcohol stove based upon designs originally devised by NCHiker1970 and TerraFirma369. Many thanks to both of these fine inventive gentlemen. I called it porcupine because it has quills and a tail The addition of aluminum tubing JB welded to the internal structure allows for the integrated pot stand. The screw holders are made from hard aluminum strips cut from wedding tin lids and are reminiscent of automobile door and dash clips. These "clips" are captured in the folds of the tooling foil band. The screw head is constrained by a release button which is normally used as a nocking point on a bow string Any small diameter flexible tubing will suffice as a substitute. The use of an artist's palette cup increases the alcohol volume to 3/4 oz as opposed to 1/2 oz tea light cups. Implements of destruction are required to remove the cups from the clip base. And no, I didn't take twenty seven eight-by-ten color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one. www.archive.org

Making coffee in the backcountry with a handkerchief
This is how I make my coffee when I'm out in the woods. It's easy, tastes great and doesn't take any special contraption to do it. Just be sure to thoroughly rinse the handkerchief before your trip since you want to make sure it is completely free of any soap. You also want to ensure it's not leaking any dye. Sorry for the shaky video, maybe I'll redo this in the future but for now it should do the trick.
