An enterprising young man is bringing an old idea to the backpacking crowd - a Backcountry Boiler. He has been working on it for several years, and has just kicked off the program through kickstarter.com. I am not affiliated with the project or the creator, but I have placed an order. For backpackers who just boil water for their meals, this might be up your alley. It is about the size of a Nalgene bottle and weighs around 9.5 oz. Fuel is sticks or anything else that will burn. Check it out here:

He was hoping to have $20,000 in orders in 30 days - I think he hit that his first day. It helped that REI put it on their Facebook page. Check it out.
