Kicked myself for buying that expensive ultralight stove
Spent $80 on a tiny titanium stove because I thought it would save weight, but the thing takes forever to boil water on a windy day. After a trip in the Smokies where I waited 20 minutes for lukewarm coffee, I switched back to my old $25 Coleman and it works way better. Anyone else regret trading performance for a few ounces?

Did you at least get a good Instagram photo of the shiny titanium before it made you cry? I dropped $60 on one of those fancy alcohol stoves once, convinced I'd be the ultralight king. Ended up sitting on a log in the rain trying to keep a lighter lit while my Ramen stayed crunchy. My $20 battered Coleman laughs at every breeze now.

Ha @amy302 you just described my entire relationship with gear. I spent $80 on a titanium spork once and it bent the first time i tried to eat cold beans out of a can. My plastic one from the dollar store has been through three trips and still works fine.
