Wood-burning cookstoves are a mainstay for some hikers and bush-crafters. In the right climates, where burnable organic material is plentiful, they work well. Simply collect some dry wood, leaves or other flammable biomass and start a fire to boil water or cook food.

At the heart of this kit is the stove. But it also includes a lightweight pot, sleeping bag, and a backpack.
