There once was a poet named Kent,
Who entered a contest and went
With a limerick so slick,
And a rhyme-trading trick,
That he won with the limerick he sent!

Time for another contest! Win an Ocelot EZ windscreen for the Pocket Rocket Deluxe (including shipping: World Wide). To enter the contest, respond with a Limerick about backpacking: gear, food, techniques, whatever. You can enter more than once and since most of you are bad at writing limerick, the use of AI is allowed. We encourage you not to use the word Nantucket but there is leeway if the content is clever and appropriate. The contest will run until July 4th at midnight.  The winner will be selected in a random drawing.

The new Ocelot EZ is a single piece windscreen with no assembly required; you simply drop the windscreen over your stove, and you are good to go. It weighs about 30 grams and is made of stainless steel. The windscreen and stove will easily nest inside a 700 ml mug (like the TOAKS 750) along with a lighter and a few other small items.

Good Luck!

Hiking in slo-mo

Dew point higher than my pulse.

Damn humidity!

Anybody feeling dumb? At least you haven’t submitted a haiku to a limerick contest! ;)

There once was a fellow named Hugh

Who swore limericks all went “five-seven-five” too.

He’d say, “Short and concise,

With a seasonal device—

That’s a limerick!” We sighed, “No, that’s haiku.”

There was a hiker from Nantucket,

Who guarded his stove with a bucket,

It was heavy and awkward,

And not very well stored,

So finally the hiker just chucked it.

Don’t ask me why

A Camping Moon I did buy

It looks like a Soto

For slightly less moto🙊

And it’s made out of ti

I love these limerick contests! But count me out of the drawing because I’ve already received an Ocelot from Jon.

I went hiking one time with this guy

Who was over-obsessed with AI

Glued to his device

He slipped on some ice

And ended up with a black eye.

He sat there and cursed at his phone

And we both had to bail and go home

Him to treat his eye,

But lucky was I—

The experience gave me a poem.
