New tent idea

So I returned the other tent and I'm going with this. It just arrived
this afternoon. Total weight < 3lbs

Lost Coast Points of interest

So here is the rough outline of the trip. Start in the south and move north. Round trip from Usal Camp to Bear Harbor camp I figure to be about 32.6 miles.

This should work better though...

Other then the can stove, I though it best to buy some titanium cookware. This JETBOIL system was on sale at REI and seems to work great. It boiled 16 fl oz of water in about 80 seconds at about 70% throttle.
Fuel: Propane
Weight: 15 oz (425 g)
Boil Time: 1 minute/cup (250 ml)

I made a stove

Using two Coke cans cans, some steel wool, and a couple tablespoons of Methyl Alcohol, I made a highly portable camping stove capable of boiling water. The Methyl Alcohol cost me $1.19 for 12 fl. oz.; A lot less then a real camping stove. I made a (very crappy) stand out of an old hanger and boiled two cups of water. Two tablespoons of the alcohol lasted much longer then I though as was plenty to get the water up to the right temp. I would rather put something other than steel wool inside that would hold the liquid better, much like a Zippo's interior but that would have cost more money.

Are you ready?

Set up my tent today... Loved it

The black hole.

You should have seen how sad they were... Face paint doesn't look so
tough when it is running from all your tears.
Final score:
