The Super Cat and the Ventana Wilderness

The Super Cat stove was a fun project. I tested it out on a 47.6 mile hike into the Santa Lucia mountain range of the Ventana wilderness. This alcohol stove is light, compact and little more then the price of a can of cat food  It was wet, cold and rainy. It's nice to be lazy sometimes. I kicked back in my hammock lit the stove up and shortly thereafter was enjoying a hot cup of chamomile tea with some fresh honey. Little to no work. My only complaint is not having access to a renewable source of fuel when I'm outdoors. Every convenience comes with a cost.  I do my trekking in wooded areas. On any given day, I wouldn't trade my axe and a match-safe for an alcohol stove and its fuel, but on this trip, in this circumstance it was a lightweight luxury I enjoyed.
