I have gotten Trip Insurance when COVID was high. Extended Hospital stays and accomidations can get pretty expensive. Cost varies with age. My 2 cents.

Probably won't rain, just watch the forecast. Great hike, bring a camera and avoid the buffalos. You can't carry fuel on the feryy but have purchase it once you get there. Bring a hat/sunblock and...
I usually bring a Light My Fire fire (fire steel) and use the striker to open both my Garcia and my Bearikade cans. My 2 cents.
Sleeping with your water bottle can pre-heat them allowing you to use less fuel to boil water.
Ambiance fine. WRT condensation, a candle puts out about 25 watts of power so unlikely to help out in that issue. Spillage and potential fire are the big negatives that need to be managed. My 2...
Screw top bottles. There are many fine New Zealand wines and many come with screw tops.
Teach them how to canoe, set up camp and cook
You might also consider the Coast to Coast trail. We only hiked half way (~85 miles) and started in the Lake District.
My local REI in Woodland Hills CA (just north of LA) had all sizes in stock. Not all brands but all sizes.
I use an Excalibur and I am pretty happy wth it. They have a smaller model that may work for you. Good Luck...
As others have said, " more than wa few days". In live at about 1,500 feet and like to backpack in the Eastern Sierras. It gets up to to over 10,000 pretty quicky. My normal resting heart rate is...
Post a picture, Mine came bent and I repaired it myself. If it is the same bend then it can be fixed. My 2 cents.
My trips are predominately in the Sierras and in many cases above tree line. I switched from a Tarptent to a Free standing tent. Part of the reason was that (IMO) non-freestanding tents tend to...
You can also use that techique for thick soups and chili. Works great
I dry bake it. Full diclosure: I design and manufacture backpacking gear for dry baking.
I make bread at home using wild yeast as well as fast acting yeast. I make yeast bread on the trail. I don't think that I would ever attempt to use wild yeast backpacking as it takes too long to...
BTW, that image is of the Original Ocelot HX using 0.02" stainless and weighed 40 grams
The new Ocelot HX (rev 2) is made of 0.060" aluminum and weighs 22 grams. Lighter and more robust.

Here’s the deal. A lot of time an energy goes into develop and validating a product. The Ocelot HX has been in development for at least 6 months now. The Ocelot design also support 4 different HX...
Dan,
Rather than copying the Ocelot HX design, why don't you pursue your Elekcity System / HX mug design? A system that can boil 2 cups of water using 2 grams of fuel will be seriouslty better...
Here is the JetBoil video; the customer was using a small pot adapter and using it to heat a frying pan (not used with HX mug to boil water). Apples and oranges: just the facts
...
Different forum and Dan is speculating yet again with zero data. At least this time, he hasn't purposely spelled my name incorrectly. With respect to data, temperature measurement have been taken...
The best feature of tbe Ocelot HX system is robustness in the wind. Most canister topped stoves do not function above a 5 mph wind. Uing a HX pot really alows you to increase perfromance in the...
I recomend running the Ocelots at 1/3 power (approximately 4-6 minutes to boil 2 cups). I have not melted the fins on the Inferno, there really is not a lot of data out there. Remember, the Inferno...
Just got back from Mo'orea where I was testing the Ocelot HX withthe Sterno Inferno using butane. Boiled 500 ml of 75 F water using 5.04 grams of fuel (5 test burns).

I made this video about a year ago where I compare a new Squeeze to a new Mini to a 5 year old Squeeze. The Mini is clearly slower and not as effective as the Squeeze.
