I have been experimenting with alcohol stoves for almost a year now. I saw my first on a make it blog and had to make one just to play with fire. I am familiar with the works of some of you already from reading posts here and elsewere. Youtube is one of my favorites.
I grew up in the midwest (born in Ohio, lived mostly in Illinois) and have been living in Seattle since 1981. I used to climb, bike, ski, or hike almost every weekend before I had kids, and I have been through a lot of gear. Now, not as much as I should. I am starting to get back into things and the stoves and info on the internet are a stimulus to that. The appeal of light packing is high, especially if comfort can be improved or maintained. Also, like you all I am sure, I like to play with fire and I like to make things.
I have built one of nearly every stove I have seen and have been contributing on other blogs. I am hoping to learn more about ultralight backpacking and hopefuily I will be able to contribute unique insights from time to time.
