how long it took water to boil for reheating foods,
Slightly different at altitude. Not much, just making conversation. I'm sure someone will be along with timetables and information on a plethora of stoves, fuel, and containers cut and pasted from an assortment of sources, and someone else to contradict them, and a third person to say it doesn't matter at all, the water will boil eventually. And someone to make a dick joke.

There, I just saved the thread four posts.

I guess. Though its not hard to copy/paste a few of the good ones over once in a while.
Especially if its in an obscure topic most people might glance over.

antiM, I may not have been here long but I do know this. You are not lazy. Tired - probably but not lazy.

Had a garage sale with my sister this last weekend, and all the stuff from my mother's house, and our things, and other things all sort of ran together. We concluded that memory was a team sport.

If your feet were metal, that might mean something...

They might decide to ambush you in your tent at dawn yelling SURPRISE and jumping in your bed with you.

Then they pass out all over the floor and you have to step over them to leave in the morning.
