.. who is from Switzerland. We were on the trail together this summer. After taking him to MEC to buy a whisperlite for his group trips at home, he mentioned they cost half here what they do in switzerland. I casually mentioned on the trail that if he needed another I'd just mail him one - he could always mail me something crazy swiss like one of the old borde stoves...

Well, while I had completely forgotten about that offhand comment, he had another mutual friend mule something back across the pond when they met up at a conference, and secret it onto my desk without my advance knowledge - finding this on my desk at work was a real shocker.

This thing is tiny, light and cool. while I'll have to be careful with it - I think I owe my friend a stove in the mail, or some other cool piece of Canadian gear. This is going out with me this winter.
