Jet boil

My best 2005 Backpacking purchase

www.jetboil.com 79.99 ( $59 on sale at REI) just released Pot Stabilizer $19.99 from REI.com (stores don't have it yet 5/24/05) Pot Stabilizer allows you to use whatever pot/pan you want.

Make sure you buy fuel cartridges that fit in stove. This stove boils water faster than my gas stove at home! And can cook meals in the palm of your hands.

I cooked up a hot meal at a Grand Canyon rest stop in < 5 minutes including
set up/cleanup *you should have seen the looks on the 40 year old women as the aroma from
my deyhdrated eggs omelet was ready.

Here's a great dish on the fly.
Couscous is made of pre-cooked semolina wheat and rehydrates almost
instantly, making it one of the very best bases for lightweight eating. You
can find it in the bulk food or imported foods section of the supermarket.
2 cups water
chicken bouillon cube
1 cup couscous
4 oz. can chicken
Add water and bouillon cube to the cooking cup. Bring to a boil. Add
couscous and turn off burner. Cover and wait about five minutes for couscous
to absorb water. Add chicken and mix it into the couscous.
