Important information about camping stoves...
from: Marc Wiltse What type of camping, hiking, or backpacking do you do? Do you camp at parks, out of your car, or do you carry everything on your back? Do you camp only in North America?
Do you need a camping burner for winter camping or do you mostly camp during the summer when it's warm out?
