Howdy Folks! After far too long of an unexpected and unwanted "break" I decided to head back to my beloved Secret Fun Spot. Well, "Murphey's Law" hit me with a strong left hook and knock me for a loop!
It's said that when life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. This video is my attempt to do just that.
Once I found a solution to my problem, I used that opportunity to share my complete winter kit and my venerable "Upside-down fire"!
It's one of those times when the Journey and Destination combine to create an unexpected opportunity to share my passion. I certainly hope you enjoy my lemonade!

$Make Your Own Gelled Alcohol! Make Your Own Gelled Alcohol! Three years ago when the great covid hoax started, I had a lot of extra time on my hands as I am certain most of you did as well. I discovered Hiram Cooks YouTube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/@MrHiramCook ). He Is a DIY Stove Guru! I watched several of his videos on gelled alcohol fuel and made a big batch of my own. The gelled alcohol fuel worked very well as a fuel alternative to solid fuel tabs when intense heat is not needed nor desired. I purchased Esbits rectangular solid fuel cook set and quickly found that the stove portion of the set was limited, as its size only afforded the use of solid fuel tabs. Solid fuel tabs have a lot of drawbacks. One of which is the heat is so intense that you can really only boil water with the thing. I experimented with gelled Sterno fuel in an Altoids tin and it worked great for actual cooking with the set. However the Sterno fuel was expensive and isnt available everywhere. I tried the Gelled Alcohol that Hiram taught me to make in an Altoids tin and It worked great! I can make my own gelled alcohol at a fraction of the cost of gelled Sterno and with the mount of the primary ingredient (calcium acetate) I have enough material on hand to make over 100 gallons of the stuff! Hiram hasnt posted a video in 6 years, but the vast catalog of videos he has posted are all worth watching for any and all camp stove enthusiast.
