Mt. San Jacinto Outdoor Recreation

We're having some really serious fire weather right now. No matter where you go, I'd encourage you to skip wood fires (recall that in the San Jacinto Wilderness, wood fires are 100% banned).

But what about backpacking stoves? I've written a article that looks at each class of backpacking stove and evaluates it from a fire safety perspective.

Have a look if you have a chance: Drought, Fire, and Stoves (How NOT to end up on the 11:00 News)

Excellent right up Jim, hopefully all take the time to read it.

Thanks, Anthony.

The good news is that hikers typically aren't the ones who start fires, but still, for the cost of a moment or two's thought, why not remove all possibility? In this case (i.e. wild fires), safe is definitely better than sorry.
