[pct-l] Whisperlight

["Brooks Hull" <bhull@CA-F1.umd.umich.edu>]

I have used several stoves over the years:  at least two Peaks, two
MSRs, a Hank Roberts, a Svea, a Primus, and another whose name I
cannot remember.  The Whisperlight and other MSR stoves seem to me
to be modestly lighter than the Peak stoves.  They are also reliable
and powerful.  Simmering is a weakness.  At the moment I am using a
Peak.  I often boil water twice for dinner and the Peak does not
need to be primed.  I cannot speak to the reliablility of any of 
these on a long trip.
