Osprey Packs Aether 60 Backpack - 3500-3900cu in
February 7, 2010
I have this pack in large. It is not carry-on size. It's certainly sturdy enough to be checked by itself, but I just put it empty into a large roller bag, along with most of the stuff that will go into it once I start hiking. Easy to roll, protected, and if TSA wants to look inside after you check it, there's no problem with them trying to repack it, leaving zippers open, etc.

Brunton Talon Canister Stove
November 18, 2009
Having used both liquid fuel and canister stoves for hundreds of meals, I prefer canisters up to 13,000 feet. With canisters, you don't get quite as many BTUs per ounce. However, when you factor in the spillage and priming factors for liquid, I think it's about equal. (I also think the extra ounce for a built in ignitor is worth it, because you tend to shut the stove off immediately knowing it's easy to relight, and you waste less fuel lighting it.)
I use the freezer bag food method and only "cook" with treated (Aqua Mira) water. I can easily get 16 to 20 person-meals out of one 8oz canister by cooking on low, making sure there's little heat loss up around the sides of the pot. Your mileage may vary. If you're planning on doing lots of real cooking and/or water purification, then liquid may be worth it.
One more canister tip: I agree with the comment about cold temperature reducing the efficiency of the stove. If you're expecting a cold night, keep your canister in the bottom of your sleeping bag, then stick it inside your jacket when you get up, until you're ready to cook.

Brunton Talon Canister Stove

I agree with the 3/4 windscreen concept, and doubled heavy-duty tin foil is a good flexible option. You don't want to enclose the whole whole stove. Even if you're not concerned about canister explosions, you can damage the valve seal in the canister with too much heat. And these stoves need all the oxygen they can get, especially at altitude, to burn efficiently.

8 servings in a 3.6 oz package? Seems like enough for 3 crackers or a small slice of flatbread. Anyone tried it?
