titanium goat.

Surprising –

I've order and received since then, delivered as promised.
If I get a chance I'll give DJ a call on Monday.

Thanks

Ill try another mail.
My English is too bad to try a phone call :)

In my experience, he's really bad about checking and responding to his e-mail. I've had the most luck calling him but I see you're worried about your language skills. Do you have a friend that could call for you?

Yes i learned english reading books ( starting with Gary Gigax Dungeons & Dragons 30 years ago..) and didnt practise much speaking.
I once asked for "two half" pints in a pub and they understood "twelve" :)
I dont see immediatly wich relative / friend speaks an acceptable english but i will search if you say he doesnt often checks his mails.

Fred –
I'm on it.

Got the answering machine a moment ago.
I'll try again shortly.

Fred,
I just spoke with DJ (8:30 am MST).

He had a materials problem.
He now has parts in hand.
Three stoves have been on hold.
He 'thinks' it should ship by the end of the week.
You will receive a UPS notification when it happens.

And No, he really doesn't keep up with e-mail.

Take care.

Nice job Greg… way to pay it forward.

Greg…That is truely nice of you. I am stoked to see people helping each other out. This really puts a smile on my face.

We have a great group of people on this forum!!!!

that was very kind of you.
and you have good news too, seems i will have the stove before going on the cape wrath trail in Scotland in a month.

Frederic,
You are welcome.
It was a pleasure to be able to help.

Stay warm on Cape Wrath.

g.

let us know how the trip goes. i would love to go on that trip. its just a bit far from the US.

The purpose of the stove will be to dry things, more than staying warm :)
My wife and I will only hike for 7,5 days so we wont do all the trail, just from Fort William up to Kinlochewe or Ullapool, depending on our progression.
I can afford this "luxury " item weight as we are testing the list we will use in Greenland carrying 12 days of food this summer.

Hey Greg, thanks for that. Nice to see folk helping each other. (you put a smile on my face)

I got the ti goat stove a few days after Greg phone call :

the kifaru para tipi i will sometime use it with :

the para tipi + stuff bag weights only 935g ( after i removed the interior guyline and seam sealed it, but before i did the hole in the fibre glass port) thats not much for the usable inside space ( much more area and max headroom than my 824g twin sisters )

the bug bivy i sewed for it : nanoseeum + silnylon 1.1
with 2 artiach light inside to give the scale : 345G + 4 stakes x 1g.

and a photo of the bug bivy inside the para tipi
( it was before i added a 5g cord + cordlock to tension the guyline of the bug bivy )

so the options :

para tipi 935g
14 stakes + stuff sack: 86g
and either bugbivy + 4 stakes + stuff sack: 360g
or titanium goat stove + bags: 534g

in either case thats not too bad.
