My cheap $20 camp stove almost ruined a trip to the Smokies
I bought it for a quick weekend trip thinking it would be fine. On the second morning, the burner control stuck wide open and melted part of the plastic fuel line. We had to hike out early and eat cold food for a day. I learned that saving money on a key piece of gear can cost you way more in the end. Has anyone else had a stove fail on them like that?

Honestly I used to buy cheap gear too until my stove failed in Yosemite, and I totally get what @loganthompson means now.

Man, that's why I always pack backup fire starters now. What's your backup plan when gear fails?
