what are the pros and cons of making your own stove vs buying one? i have the optimus crux and i like it. but im still too new to backpacking to understand the differences between the two. the thought of a homemade stove out of a pepsi can actually sounds really cool though. but wouldnt the weight of the fuel that you would carry equal the weight of the butane/propane? thanks so much for your thoughts!!! im trying to soak as much info like a sponge that i can!!!
