Need to boil your water/bandages/food in the field? Can't risk/fuel a campfire? This tiny stove (<1oz) can be improvised just about anywhere people have lived or littered. I made one out of soda cans and it's held up over 3 years. It would be simple enough to make one while traveling, using scrounged materials and hand tools. Runs on 90%+ alcohols - ethanol, methanol, and even isopropyl from drugstores/med chests or 151 proof rum in a pinch :*( http://users.sisqtel.net/losthiker/pikastove/

This website http://www.woodsdrummer.com by Eric Stoskopf is excellent reading (and a good way to melt those office hours). In short, he's into solo-wandering the Sierras with a bare minimum of equipment: axe, blanket, knife, firesteel, pistol. Really wonderful adventures to read about, and I've learned a good bit by reading his site (thrice, by now). He's a decent photographer as well, and is an astute gear analyst. Sadly, Eric hasn't updated the site in a very long time, so once you've browsed through it, don't hold your breath for new material.

Very handy if you're like me, and rely on (gasp) a magnetized needle instead of a battery-powered low-orbit-satellite uplink as my primary nav tool. http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomagmodels/Declination.jsp
