I've yet to hear a horse complain about the weight of a Coleman 2-burner.
Yeah, I've got one of those too... mine is circa 1964. Works great. I don't have a horse to carry it, so don't use it.

Got to have enough horses too. One trip my son and I did we had to go pocket rocket and 2-man tent!

I've never found the Svea a nuisance to light... I carry an eyedropper with the stove, suck out a bit of fuel from the tank, douse the "spirit cup" and light it up... it will roar to life in any condition. I got mine in 1975 and it's still going strong.
IIRC, I bought my SVEA in 76. I light mine as you describe. I found a plastic eyedropper made by Nalgene to fill the cup with. Filling the fuel tank was problematic until I found a little device the fits under the cap on a Sigg bottle that has a finger hole to allow you to control the pour of fuel from the bottle. I used mine all over Denali park, summer and winter (skiing up the park road) and parachuted with it into Bavaria. It never let me down.

I was just contemplating a HALO drop to my next trailhead. Thanks TAK. Travis

You should give that a whirl. Make sure to do it at night.

Of course. Everybody starts their hikes at night time. It's just common sense. Travis

Personally, I prefer river landings for my night drops, but you've gotta have the right pack for that. On another note, I did break down and order a jetboil yesterday.

Be sure to include scaling a cliff or two as well, and ford a big river while you're at it.

Of course I will, what would you expect? And right after that, I'll kill and skin a griz (pilgrim), and then break out my jetboil and have breakfast.

If you are hungry after skinning a griz, you are a better man than I. Let us know how the jetboil fares after giving it the TAK test!

That would be to set that stove up in front of a big-ass fan and see how it performs.

...After jumping out of a plane, swimming a river, sharpening a knife with a rock, and snowshoeing at -54.... all before breakfast.

No one is that good. All that would surely take until 9AM

I'd like to test my new Jetboil when it gets here. Can I borrow your big ass-fan for that?
I don't have a big ass, so I never got one of the fans.

I guess they're guys with funny looking pecs.
