Firebox Stove Review | For a Backpacker, By a Backpacker

Gen2 Folding Firebox Nano Ultralight

This is a super exciting product that I can’t believe I hadn’t come across sooner. For $39.99, this little piece of equipment is well worth the money. With the Gen2 Folding Firebox Nano Ultralight you can say good riddance to hauling around canisters, pot stands, or windscreens. Now you can forget all of that extra weight while still enjoying warm meals and beverages after a long day of hiking or during camping trips. The Firebox Nano weighs in at a jaw-dropping 6 oz, which is pretty awesome for any ultralight backpackers out there looking to retire there old trusty stove for a more practical one.

SteriPen Adventurer

The SteriPEN Adventurer Opti UV Water Purifier pays for itself!

I bought my SteriPen before I left for Asia. I backpacked for 6 months and I used it practically on a daily basis. In that sort of climate you’ve got to hydrate, especially if you aren’t a native and your body isn’t used to the extreme heat.

WakaWaka – Power Worth Sharing

written by Courtney

It’s been a full day of getting from Amsterdam to Krakov. It’s close to midnight and I just checked into my hostel. I shimmy up three flights of narrow stairs, my pack brushing up against the wall as I turn corners. I make my way down a dimly lit hallway till I see Door #16. I slowly turn the door knob and quietly push my way inside.
