Alcohol Cat Food Stove - DIY Backpacking Stove

Описание: In this video I show you how to build an ultralight alcohol backpacking stove with a cat food can. I then go ahead and do a burn test to see how it performs. These are sometimes called a "Fancy Feast Stove" because it uses that type of can. This is one of the lightest alcohol stove options out there for backpackers and can make a great addition to your kit.

There are a million-and-one alcohol stoves out there, so I would encourage you to read up on them. This stove is not my design. The concept for this stove has been around for a long time, and there are probably some even better videos on YouTube about how to make these. Check them out!

I was originally turned on to it when I interviewed a North Country Trail through-hiker in the summer of 2013. He used this very stove for the 4,000+mile trek.

It is super lightweight, costs only $.60 to make, and can be made in about 10-15 minutes or less with a few tools. In this video I used a dremel, but a lot of people make them with a simple paper hole punch.

The only thing I would caution you about is the fact that these stoves are not very durable. They can easy be broken if you leave them around and accidentally step on them. They can be bent back, but just a heads up.
