I think the ridges would've been awful without some cushioning for us. <br /><br />Tammy, I've seen those one-burner stovelets but they looked really tippy. When I picked out my gear I unanimously went for comfort over size (which is why it takes a full size truck bed to carry all my crap). If I take up backpacking I'll have to get all different stuff, sigh - but I think I'm happiest camping out of the truck and trailer and riding out during the day. <br /><br />Mel, I'll get pics of the Brunton. It does seem like a really nice well-made stove. <3 you Sierra Trading Post. <br /><br />BEC, I shoulda brought more. I figured 3 a night was good, but I could've done with a couple more!Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-5583677095976190892011-07-11T22:04:39.191-07:002011-07-11T22:04:39.191-07:00Please tell me that 6-pack of beer did not last al...Please tell me that 6-pack of beer did not last all weekend?<br /><br />LOL. ;-)BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-89903534194841092562011-07-11T06:29:50.556-07:002011-07-11T06:29:50.556-07:00When I cook over my camp stove I do a lot of remov...When I cook over my camp stove I do a lot of removing the the skillet and shaking and stirring the food off of the stove. Seems to work good. <br /><br />Btw finder you should let every know ( and do a review on) the camp stove you have. I really really like it. I think most people I know have Coleman stoves so it was I treating to see a bruntonMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627065628317652042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-86838456485340975712011-07-09T21:12:04.258-07:002011-07-09T21:12:04.258-07:00I don't like to cook at home... well, not true...I don't like to cook at home... well, not true. I don't mind cooking but hate cleaning up the mess. I keep telling my family I would cook more if they would contribute more to the clean-up... I digress...<br /><br />When I camp, I do a lot of pre-cooking so we eat good but don't spend a lot of time cooking it. I do have a propane 2 burner stove and a compact gas grill, but what I use the most is a single burner that you attach to the top of a small propane bottle. I make my coffee on it and warm up about anything. When not screwed onto the propane bottle, it is only about 1" - 2" think and stores nicely in the cupboard.<br /><br />I do like you truck tent.Tammy Vasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01531335275070860886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-11311421466909779242011-07-09T19:48:43.179-07:002011-07-09T19:48:43.179-07:00You brought back a lot of happy camping/hiking mem...You brought back a lot of happy camping/hiking memories.<br />The blue flower is one of the penstemons, possibly Foothill Penstemon.
