Esbit stoves are awesome. Theyre cheap. You can get one with 6 tabs of fuel at REI or Big 5 for $15; packs of fuel tabs are about $7-10. The fuel tabs burn for about 10 minutes; which is enough to boil about a pint of water in about 5 minutes. Then you can save the unburnt portion for later. The...

Roll of toilet paper in a coffee can, pour in a bottle of rubbing alcohol/denatured alcohol,what have you,,but becareful, its hard to see burning alcohol in the light, and carbon dioxide will put ya to sleep,forever.

I just p̶u̶r̶c̶h̶a̶s̶e̶d̶ obtained a snow peak "GigaPower Stove (automatic lighting)" I was reading through the instruction booklet and it says that you should only use Snow Peak's "Giga Power" brand fuel instead of just any of the lightweight fuel tanks that you can get at REI or Academy or...

Seems like there are plenty of different methods of making D.I.Y. stoves on the road. but this one is the most direct and efficient one i've seen so far. all fits into a little tupperware container!

Well here is a use for empty sterno cans ya might come along or ya might buy.I never seem to figure out why people use sterno as it seems like such a weak fuel to cook with and i really fancy alcohol stoves to begin with.This is one hell of a stove after ya convert it over to run on alcohol.I...

I have yet to go alone on the road but that time is coming, just one question for you guys. From my research there seems to be a surprising amount of vegan/vegetarian travelers, what are your judgement on this as travelers? Have you seen a lot of them out there or are you one? Also if you...

My diet while traveling normally isn't all that balanced. I've been looking to adding Vegetables. I've seen dehydrated vegetable blends(most were called Vegetable Flakes) you can add to other foods or just to make soup. They were pretty cheap and something I could get easily. Most of the...

Just got one for free off a buddy of mine its just a 1 liter.Toying with the idea of bringing it along as my pack has a spot for one on the outside.Just curious what to expect for how long it'll last and how often ill have to clean it.I figure if i keep it topped off i shouldn't have to do much...

Just joined the site and thought I'd show a stove idea I used back in 09. While staying a winter at the Slabs, I noticed there was a surplus of old coffee cans lying around. Started cooking on a hobo stove every night. I wanted to take one with but they seemed to much of a pain to pack...

My boyfriend made a couple penny and coke can stoves. Last night we fired one up and made a can of chili beans! ^This is just the stove by itself, lit up and running. ^With a can of beans on top They run of grain alcohol. We used everclear. It was pretty easy to use on my bedroom table...

Anybody else enjoy them? Easy to make. Is easy to cook on. Is easy to take up and down. And can be emptied to conserve weight . Just fill up with new dirt when you stop for the night. Plenty of YouTube videos out there on them.

I used to pack some random thrifted stainless steel stuff in the past, but then got sick of losing them all the time, and trying to find each item scattered around in my pack. Then I switched to plastic which is easily found and replaced if necessary, but they tend to break in my pack. Now I'm...

I am going train hopping for the first time in a few months with a few buddies of mine and i was wondering if carrying a camel-back to carry water along with a few water bottles was a bad idea or not. Can anyone help me out with this?

This is an old trick I've used countless times in the colder regions while on trains..especially on the highline. You take a steele spike bucket and punch holes on the bottom for air. Put rocks in the bottom several inches thick.. ( bigger=better) build a fire and keep piling wood on it and fill...

Hydrate your body, the coconut gets cast out to sea, where it has all it needs,(they can survive for months out there) Then it sprouts on a beach and so starts the possess again(right around a century to mature) these guyz get lots of love from there folks. One coconut has; sodium(100mg)...

So when you wake up in the morning and have to have that fresh coffee like I do how do you go about it?

I've always eaten the mulberries growing on the trees around here (Kansas City, Kansas) and today I made some badass jam from them. What are your favorite wild foods?
