Motorman, that stove is one nice looking stove, and if we didn't need one for every patrol that would be my choice just based on looks and its output. Alas we are using something closer to the coleman dual burner stove using propane and cost will be a factor, but I will show them that one.

SRDS, we have a hard enough time getting them to put up dining flys when we arrive late Friday nights. In a boy led troop we ask 6th grade and other young boys to do their own carrying. So with gear, tents, stove, flys, turkey burners, pails for water,lashing polls, lashings, coolers, water and sometimes more, they get "tired" and if its 2 am on Saturday morning and we have something at 9am on Saturday well you get the picture.
(we do not have portable shelters, they are more to carry but I wish we did.) A typical outing usually involves a hike in (SP stays are so nice not to have do that, unless you choose primative sites). We do some dutch oven cooking for dinner but that's weather dependant.

For a long time if we went camping it rained didn't matter where or when.
