A great report. Loved every minute of it.

Likewise, great to follow the kit thread and then follow it through the trip as well, some great photos and scenery along the way too.
Was interested in the pot cozy method of prepping the food, not sure what that is about, and whether there is any particular advantage in having the gas supply remote from the burner, lower height of burner and more stable perhaps ?
Cheers, Paul
Thanks
I first came across [FONT=verdana, tahoma, arial]
the pot cozy method[/FONT] watching Shug Emereys videos on youtube. It works best with dehydrated stuff although I found anything that needs simmering works well in it (pasta n sauce, rice etc).
Essentially you can take your food off from boiling, stick it in the cozy and it's insulating properties continue to 'simmer' the food. I found it retained 50% or so more heat than a naked pan over 20 mins (I happen to own a food temp probe). This allows you to save some fuel and avoids food sticking to the pan. Plus it keeps your dinner warm
.
I took that stove as its pretty light, well lighter than my Karrimor pocket rocket clone, and as you say stability. It also has a preheat tube which allegedly uses less gas, not really tested that though. It also allows you to invert you gas canister and use it as a liquid feed to get the last out of your carts (well that's what the eBay description said stoves aren't my strongpoint).
