I was rummaging around and found another variation on the DIY camp stove. Don Johnston’s Photon Stove looks like a variation on the Pepsi Can Stove though with some additional extra features.

There’s two other sites I found interesting too. Backpacking sites have been yielding good information on how to pack light and small which is great for living in a van or car as space is indeed limited. And when I see my vans sagging suspension I get really leery about adding more weight. And while shaving an ounce here or there might not be a dramatic for me it still makes a difference.

Trail Quest’s list of Alternative Gear give cheap to free alternative for fancy and expensive camping gear. Their Ultralight page offer a few ideas as well. The scant treatment people use for gear on backpacking is quite the exercise in minimalism. Backpacking.net’s Make Gear page has many great DIY plans for various camping and outdoor living necessities.
