Oh, I thought I was talking to someone who might travel internationally. By plane.
If you carry one of those colemans you'll be laughed off the trail. Camping is about elegant equipment EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT! |

Lol.
I used to do direct, in-home sales of fire alarm systems (this is way back in the 70s before these sorts fo things were common). Oh, the stories I can tell from those expereinces. "Plus, if you buy tonight, we will add this deluxe gas detector to your package . . . ." As an aside, I laugh when people comapre a mission a misson to sales. In broad terms they are simialr, but in reality it is not even close. I have done both and if I had sold fire alarms like I tried to preach the gosepl I would never have made any money. Back to stoves, you can have the elgance, functionality and ease of use in one package. Plus, you can buy the cannisters almost anywhere in the states AND internationally. Superfly, my firend, that is the way to go. But, you already knew that.

Speaking of which, I think I may have already given props here once upon a time to the JetBoil stove. My buddy has one, and this thing is amazing. It was initially only made to boil water, but they have since added some components to allow small frying or saute pans. It'll bring a liter of water to a boil in about 90-120 seconds. http://www.jetboil.com/Products |

Besides, I suppose on your many international camping forays you may need to stand out from those of us that just want something that worls very well.

are you saying the MSR Dragonfly doesn't work as well as the MRS superfly?
I guess another factor is that I camp much more than you Creekster. So I have to be more practical about things. I dont' want to have to have a supply of those canisters. |

Having not researched new stoves in a couple of years, I have now found my next stove - The Superfly.
Thank you, creekster. You've closed another deal. |

They can be recycled. I assume you do that in Texas, right?

One bad thing about the Dragonfly--many of you will not be able to afford it.
In that case, yes, go with the superfly. (even though you will spend a lot more in the long run due to buying canisters) |

Messy cannister, not self-lighting, you need the hose, and it is heavier. Apart from that, it's great.
