Another look at Esbit
I find a half of an Esbit cube in a Caldera Cone with a squat pot will heat 2 cups of water nearly to boiling, but not to a rolling boil. This is enough for breakfast or dinner in most cases. 3/4 o...

Another option for inflating stuff with air you have not humidified with your lungs

Yes, maybe you can
