[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1767891, member: 54178"] Yeah, as a geezer I'm all about saving weight and I always take my avy shovel when winter camping. But... I can't trust its slippery surface enough to put my stove (and food) on it so I take the stove base. My weight savings is using a solo tent (Tarptent Moment DW) and other light gear like a -20 LL Bean down bag and REI FLASH All Season air mattress. In fact I did sell my MSR Dragonfly stove B/C it was too heavy, even though it is[I] still [/I]the best simmering stove made. And sometimes I take my Trail Designs Sidewinder titanium wood burning stove which is great for melting snow because I don't have to carry fuel, only a few ESBIT tablets and Vaseline covered cotton balls for tinder. This stove is a "gassifier" design and thus very hot and also very light. It rolls up and fits into a small sock sleeve. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
