Hellfire Rocket Stove

I was just thinking about getting a similar setup, although the specs say 11lbs, so possibly something smaller to fit in a backpack.

My Father in law and I were talking during his visit last week, and he gave some pretty good insight on some SHTF scenarios. He's been with the Red Cross for many years, starting out at the bottom handing out meals, now in a regional logistics position, and having been through Katrina, and most of the other disasters over the last 20 years or so, I appreciated his stories.

Long story short, a small stove would have really really been a good thing to have in many of his scenarios.

Yeah, it is heavy, but it breaks down to a bunch of flat pieces. It's probably not something you'd take if you're into ultralight camping gear and backpacking deep into the woods, but for car camping, short excursions, or a hunting trip where you set up a base camp, I think it will work well.

I may have to pick one up for the car, and then one of the light ones for my bag. Im not a backpacker (mainly day hikes), but I do have a small day pack that goes with me pretty much everywhere, even if it's just left in the car, and it would be nice to keep a small stove in it.

Indeed. If I'm living out of a ruck only, stuff got real enough that I'd probably be dead already anyway (or wouldn't care if I'm eating cold food). Otherwise, I'll probably be near my vehicle.

However, now that Hurley is in AZ, and has a sweet bike to do moto camping, 11lbs of stove is not a good use of his equipment weight budget.
