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

JetBoil Flash – Personal Cooking System (PCS)
JetBoil (www.jetboil.com) makes personal size stove kits that are very easy to pack for your day hike or camping trip. The stoves can accommodate small JetBoil pots and pans too. Very cool. This vid just shows the PCS alone. Stay tuned for follow up vids on how the PCS stove works, making press pot coffee, and how I carry it on my hiking kit using the Maxpedition 12x5 bottle holder and the MaxPed Jumbo.
