Lunchtime found me sitting in my hammock, out in the little wood behind the building where I work. It's winter in Florida, and I was braving temperatures in the low sixties (F).
I boiled water from a 58 pattern waterbottle, using a Crusader cooker and mug that I learned about from this site. Isn't the internet strange and wonderful?
The cooker did really well. I just put methanol right in the burner. It actually seemed to do better when I turned the opening into the wind. Still, it would be nice to find a stove that fit into that little well.
I boiled the water and poured it into the plastic cup, added some instant coffee, then mixed up some foil-packaged chicken and seasonings in the metal pot. I had lots of water left over to wash up with after lunch.
Then I lay back in the hammock and listened to the trees awhile before taking down camp and heading back to work.
