Chuck Holst said: That experience made me consider carrying a spare stove next trip. A repair kit is lighter and more compact, but I figure I might not always have the best conditions in which to disassemble and reassemble the stove or pump. For what it is worth, I always carry a spare stove that is a Trangia. Tiny, foolproof, no moving parts, and I use stove alcohol to prime my Whisperlite anyway, so taking a little more along is easy. Once used the Trangia for the whole trip when I couldn't the Whisperlite to talk to me.
