I have a closet full of stoves that I have purchased over the years and it always ends the same. Just one more piece of gear on my storage pile. I find the best stove is my credit card. For most of the AT; if you can hike 30 miles a day then you can just swipe your card and eat as you go without carrying anything. Thinking about steak at the grill in Fontana. I am sure that I am not the only one who feels this way. I just don't see a need to carry a stove unless it is for camp fire cook out fun. The AT has resupplies every where. If you can even hike 15 miles a day then your chances of coming across a food supply are pretty good.
How many of you are planning this years hikes without a stove? What are some of the things on your food lists?
