Just another boost for MSR's

My civilian background (after my short Army stint) is as a wilderness trip leader, and the MSR Dragonfly and Whisperlites seem to be the best. Yep, really loud, and that F-16 comparison is dead on. Also, the shaker jet allows for easy cleaning of the fuel line. Backpacker magazine has a nice little stove search in their gear section.

My tiny bit of advice, which you probably already know coming from the mountains, would be to keep to the liquid fuels as the gaseous variety can condense and foul stoves in cold weather.

Cheers.
