A recent Wired Fetish column spoke to me:
After the apocalypse, you won’t have the luxury of hitting REI for propane to cook that fillet of zombie. You’ll have to make do with what’s available. There’s only one stove that efficiently burns any liquid fuel, from butane to biodiesel, without requiring extra parts: the Brunton Vapor. Twist the top of the burner cap (with the flame off) to tweak its variable air intake; this alters the oxygen-to-fuel ratio to ensure a hot blue flame. Oh, it’s also useful for pre-Armageddon camping.
Vapor $149, www.brunton.com
I was mildly upset to find that Amazon did not carry the Vapor, at least not yet, and I was shocked that they didn’t carry the Gerber Flik either, since they carry so many other Gerber knives and multi-tools. (It turns out the Flik isn’t available until Fall 2007.)
While researching Gerber though, I found their ad archive, and I must heartily recommend it for some deep, manly laughs.
