Hi, Lori - just got back from another problem-free weekend with my Jetboil!

Sorry, couldn't resist - I know that some day, you'll end up bailing me out. (Hubris always loses, in the end.)

For those who are new here, Lori's experiences around Jetboils indicate much higher failure rates than mine, so we kind of kid each other back and forth. I don't think either of us is wrong - I mostly take short trips, and don't abuse my gear; Lori's in SAR and leads beginner groups, so she is around a lot more people who probably misuse or abuse gear, and she takes longer trips, when things are more likely to fail. So I consider her a highly credible, well-informed source. (But I still like to give her a hard time, just for grins and giggles.)
