Need that coffee in the middle of nowhere?

Well can be for a coffee or tea or making that hot soup on the side of the road or at camp

It's a Jetboil www.jetboil.com

Great for the long distance riders,most camp shops have them on special well in WA $99 It's had good reports on farriders and I will have one for my lightning ridge trip in May  :thumb

Looks great for a short camp over :)............I sometimes carry a thermos of boiling water, long life milk, and a few tea bags......they all fit very well into a pannier and are adequate for a day ride..............cost...nothing, as I've had the thermos for thirty years. ::)
There are many paths to the top of the mountain.....but we all need to find our own way!

Yep!.......also cooks rice, and bread if you like to go to the trouble, but you need to buy a few more attachments to be able to do so!!
It is a nice piece of equipment!!

you can do scrambled eggs in it also  :eat

Had me a small gas stobe for ages that replaved my metho one untill??????????
Untill i went to the Ruptured Bdgy Rally down Stanthorpe way and wondered why the old gas setup wouldn't even boil water :think1. I was camped besides this bloke that had one of them BMW 's that go everywhere and said the problem was that it was too cold. Seems when its real cold the old gas dosn't do the job. He broke out his whisperlite fuel stove and the water boiled twice as fast as the gas one on a hot day. So a few days later I got meself one and now a few years later havn't looked back. It fits in the tank bag with all the goodies real good, and I highly recommend the setup to everyone. Still have a gas setup when I have the trailer, but the Whisperlite is their as well.
Nearly forgot?? When you set it up, you got to remember to put the fuel hose in the right way, because when you light it up and the fuels leaking it kind of lites  the roadsite campsite up a bit.
