    Twig Stoves: Experiences, Opinions and Pictures

    I've said it before, "I like Kelley Kettles." In addition to the above comments, they are fast, and if you have kids on the trip you don't have to worry about fueling it.

    Do you bring an ice chest or cooler?

    When we do the Allagash we eat very well. We bring 2, one is the freezer and the other is the refrigerator, (with very little beer). The frozen food is layered in sawdust and freezer blocks The freezer is only opened at night to remove the meal for the next night, thaw it in the refrigerator...
