I would be inclined to agree with that. If you have been using gear or even "methods" that work and are "not broke" so-to-speak, why fix them. As we all know that what works great for some might not work at all for others. It is a very personal thing. For instance, phat takes a stove into the woods. I would never even think about taking a stove into the back country, but you know what? It seems to work just great for him and I am sure that it works great for others too. It would just take too much of the enjoyment out of it for me, but for phat, he is into it and it works well for him so why should he adjust anything about his stove. Hell, if it works leave it as is and let it roll. To each his own and I agree with that wholeheartedly...sabre11004... phat
