As some of you may know, my 15 year old daughter Evy, is an elite
Junior Whitewater Slalom Kayaker.
She is currently a member of the 2012 US Junior Team. At this year's
Junior World Championships, she had the highest finish among all
American paddlers (girls and boys). She also earned the bronze medal
at this years US National Championships race, sharing the podium with
this year's US Olympic Team member and a US Senior Team member.
As a fund raiser to cover her travel expenses for the upcoming 2013
season, we crafted limited run of lightweight camp stove kits, with
stoves manufactured from 20oz aluminum water bottles. While this
technology is now new, we have done MUCH R&D to create a lightweight,
durable stove with known performance characteristics in a variety of
operating conditions.
The kit includes:
Stove (available in 4 colors- red, blue, green and pewter)
Durable 4oz fuel bottle with child-proof cap
Sturdy, mill-finished aluminum wind screen
Cold-weather performance kit: kevlar priming wick, reflective heavy
foil square and insulating stove base
3mm neoprene drawstring carry pouch with belt-loop & hook, and enough
room for additional accessories (matches, drinking cup, etc)
User's manual
The price is $25 per kit which includes postage in the US (($30 to Canada).
Funds can go via PayPal to evy@...
If you'd like to pay by cheque, send us an email for our mailing address.
A demo video of a simple tabletop "baseline" test can be seen here:

Note, because they are made by hand, you may experience *slight*
cosmetic variations from kit to kit. However, all kits function 100%
and will provide years of productive use.
Thanks!
