Welcome back!

I've missed all the stove reviews. I like to window shop, but when the going gets tough, I'm still grabbing my SVEA 123.

May the [job] force be with you!

Thanks.

And you'll hear no criticism of the Svea 123 from this quarter. Very reliable, and just a fun little stove.

Still, an alcohol stove in the ol' kit bag can't hurt. About one ounce in weight and no moving parts or gaskets to wear out. It's a nice back up for that Svea.

Welcome back hikin Jim. I missed your posts. I've found the info very informative.

Good luck for 2013.

Welcome back, Jim. You've been missed. Onward and upwards for an amazing turnaround in 2013!

Thanks, all. It's nice to see some of the regulars are still here.

Jim, I look forward to reading your gems.

I am in a unique situation that makes me the most desperate member for your stove expertise (no prepper community around, almost no stove gurus , high-temp environment that restricts the kind of stoves I can store in the car trunk & GHB, no esbit tabs nor alcohol fuel available around our market ..etc. ..etc.)

Thanks for all you do offer.
It really really helps

And I sincerely wish you the very best in 2013 onward.



p.s.
To look at things in a positive way.
Congratulations , you have passed yet another survival test in 2012.

and thank you for this too

Wow, a triumphant return Jim, welcome back

I've missed your posts as well, but mostly because I have been awol as well.

Well, hardly, but thank you. Good to be back even if I can't be quite as active as I used to.

Not even "rubbing" alcohol? (i.e. isopropyl alcohol, a.k.a. isopropanol)

Ha! Well, yes, I suppose I have.
