Yep its like "thank you for having me take this stove on this trip". The morning I mentioned the gusting wind was trying to rip my eldorado from its moorings, which fortunately consisted of 4 skis shoved into dense snow. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />The tent was shaking so violently that it beat you if you sat up. There was no way to have lit the Bibler hanging stove even. In the vestibule there was effectively a wind because the side blew back and forth so priming would have been hard with white gas.
