Re: Re: Re: Silnylon as VBL It's kinda relative, really. You don't really need an airtight seal... you're going to prevent 99% of the evaporative heat loss and moisture into the bag. Elastic at the wrist would wor... |

Re: Stove and tent Of course, the Nova is nearly twice the weight of the Simmerlite... the Optimus site lists Nova weight as 15.34 oz. So if we're going after the lightest WG stove, that's distinctly "no... |
