Re: White Box Stove Review
I've been using this stove now for the past three trips, and hope to use it again this weekend.

4th of July
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!
I (along with others) was able to backpack in the Holy Cross Wilderness with a good friend I have not seen in 6 mos. (He moved to Virginia..).
No fireworks, but we did have a campfire!
