How to Build a Pot Stand

Before I get into the building a pot stand, I'd like to first comment on A Backpacker's Cookset, Exploded. I happened to mention that I sometimes carry condiments, and when I do, I put them in my cookset. My cookset currently has no condiments in it which is why I didn't include any photos of that, but Amanda felt this was simply wrong and rooted around finding condiments and a Zip-Lock bag for me. She's very supportive of me in that way. =)

So now that page has an image of condiments! Of course, since I took the photo long after the rest of the photos were taken, it's still not really cohesive, but at least it's pretty!

I've also made some updates to the CSS page, so you might have to "refresh" your browser if something looks a bit off....

My newest page on the site is How to Build a Pot Stand. This was actually what pushed me into updating my little soda can website. My previous pot stand--which I've been carrying since I did the Florida Trail in 2008--has seen better days and I figured it was about time to retire it. Which meant I had to build a new one, and that's what I did, photographing my progress along the way. =)

You can be certain that this pot stand will be coming with me to hike El Camino later this year! Oh, the adventures we will have.... =)

Man, that blog title TOTALLY mislead me. I was half expecting you to be manning something like a roadside lemonade stand, except for medical marijuana.

I too agreed with Wassa, and my ad on the right side was "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" so I still wonder...

In step 7 of the soda can, how far in to you make the tabs? Or to you just make it fit? Thanks for all the tips. We're loving it!

I just make it fit in the stove, then mark with the Sharpie both ends where they overlap where I want the cut to go.
