Learned a camp stove trick after a cold dinner in Moab last week
I was out on the Poison Spider trail in Moab last Tuesday and my little butane stove just wouldn't light in the wind. Wasted a whole lighter trying to get it going, dinner was cold ramen that night. Next day I grabbed a piece of cardboard from my truck and folded it into a little wind screen around the stove. Worked perfect, boiled water in 4 minutes flat. Has anyone else rigged up a quick fix like that on the trail?

Ha, nice. I once tried to use a foil takeout container as a wind screen and ended up melting the whole thing into my stove. Genius move with the cardboard.

Moab wind killed my lighter last fall too, cardboard is the REAL fix, not foil.
