TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

The New MSR MicroRocket -- Trail Report #2

Wed 04 Jan, 2012 3:20 pm

It was a beautiful day in the Los Angeles area yesterday, so I decided to go on a hike. I journeyed up Angeles Crest Highway to the Waterman Mountain area.

The day was clear and the views were stupendous.

Of course, I took a few stoves along. :) Indeed, one of my main objectives for this hike was to test the new MSR MicroRocket stove at a relatively high elevation (8038'/2450m).

So, won't you please join me for The New MSR MicroRocket -- Trail Report #2?

UPDATE I've added a "technical appendix" at the end of my blog post. I list the weights of seven different gas stoves as well as the length of their pot supports.

Thanks. I got some really good photos that day. Just God/luck (depending on your perspective I suppose). I'm not much for photography. I just carry a little "point and shoot." That photo and several others came out really well.
