Yeah that'd work too. If I were only going to do it once or twice I'd carry a can of fondue fuel (or sterno) but if I were going winter camping for a week I'd rig up a real preheater. Some of the very early stoves from before instant light were invented had a little well that you dripped some f

I was a scout leader for a bit when my elder son participated in scouting. We had a head leader (troop scouter?) who was quite adept at things like this. We went sledding one night when it was very cold and he fired the stove up to make hot chocolate for the troop. My recollection is that he

Uhhh, open the valve and light a match? Hang the match under the generator a little if its cold. If its really cold a little fondue fuel on the burner under the generator helps. When I did the cooking challenge a couple years ago I cooked pancakes outside at 16F. Normally I preheat the generato

I bought welding cable and good solid end clamps and made my own 25 years ago. Still as good as new. Rubber covered cable is nice and flexible even when cold and I made them long enough to reach if the booster vehicle had to park behind the one that needed to be boosted. RB On 03/11/2014 1:37

They got 10 inches of snow in Caribou on Sunday. I'm headed up tomorrow and a little nervous about getting in to camp. I'll have to plow snow for 3/4 mile, fortunately the Dodge has good tires. I'll pack my snowshoes just in case, I'm even thinking pretty hard about hauling a snowmobile with me.

I have to offer a correction: the S420 has the same drivetrain as the S500. I was misinformed. That being said, my S420 consistently gets better mileage than the S500, by at least 1-2 mpg. And the S500 is a coupe versus the S420 being a sedan. I assume there is a difference in curb weight betwe
