Thank Les!
I've been scouring Jim's site (look what he did to me today! Trangia vs bush buddy!) I'll probably pick up a trangia in the near future. Alcohol stoves seem like the perfect compromise between wood and gas. The fact that they're compact and so simple makes them perfect for this type of kit.
I'm thinking of picking up a GI poncho as well. They're as effective but more versatile than a tarp, me thinks, and would effectively gives us a second set of wet weather gear.
Thanks again!
