The Coleman DualFuel (well, really, all their stoves) is larger and heavier, which would be a disadvantage if you were going to hand carry it any great distance, but for use in an emergency, or use ten feet outside your s*** & git cart, it's a definite ADVantage, as it's sturdy, stable, and built tough as a tank. For durability and dependability, they can't be beat.
Of course, for the ten-mile-a-day walk-out, I've got a Primus that fits in a BDU cargo pocket, and the trusty Coleman would be cached for later pick-up.

I can understand wanting to secure your power source for the night, but save your back, buy a length of log chain and lock it down, that seems to work on construction sites where anything that's not locked down, walks off.

Why would anybody WANT to work that hard???

I can relate, and it seems like the older I get, the worse IT gets. Retirement (if it ever gets here) should be interesting <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Not yet...
Weather was not fine, but it's changing....
But now, I have to work on most week-ends too, so no outing planned....

Sounds frightfully dull. But it beats being mistaken for a looter and/or heat stroke all hollow.

Remember - in a survival situation - DULL is GOOD - dull means that nothing BAD is happening, and you can work to improve your situation the next time your awake
