Not sure if it's allowed to post an article link, but last month, a few of Bill's blades were pictured in an outdoor article about small camping/survival mini-stoves. For those interested, here is the link:

I actually wrote the article. I just wanted to share it on Bill's forum due to the recent posts about Backwoods "user" and "safe queen" knives. All of my blades from Bill are definitely users, so I just wanted to share the article showing his knives being used in the outdoors.

If the weather would cooperate I would be out beating on my multitasker.
Oh well,I'll have the blackout by next weekend & hopefully I can take 'em both out for a good beating.

DOH!Sorry Marc.His blog,your article.

I really liked the article.I was thinking about getting a mini gas stove for my BOB (& probably will)but got an emberlit first because I like burning wood & it's plentifull & the emberlit folds flat.
A gas stove has advantages also & I will get one once I narrow down which one I want.
I think for BOB purposes though the emberlit is perfect.

Mykel,

Those Emberlit stoves are AWESOME aren't they!! Even if I'm carrying an Esbit mini-stove, MSR Pocket Rocket, or a Jet Boil system......I will always have the Emberlit in my back pack or vehicle bag. Like you said, fuel is plentiful and free for the Emberlit...

I'm really liken' the Pocket Rocket for a mini gas stove so far.
Still looking around though.
Never tried an alcohol stove & don't like the idea of a liquid fuel,but they sound pretty good otherwise &
are easy to make.

The first stove I bought for backpacking was a Sierra Zip Stove. About ....damn 20 years ago!!
Doesn't seem that long till I start thinking about it. The new ones are a little better design than mine, better wind
screen, battery isn't under the "fire box". Dang thing is handy; twigs, pine cones, tree bark. Throw it in, light
it, open the damper and turn on the blower. In a couple of minutes it will have water boiling.
