The Packafeather Cap

Here's roughly other "make your life easier" stove gear tip:  The PackaFeather Cap from PackaFeather.com, an ultralight gear provider.

Basically, it's just a flip top spout for a bottle of alcohol, but it has a really overnice piddling enhancement:  a nice, long plastic metro is good seated inwards the spout.  The metro tin live pulled out, but it doesn't come upwards out on it's ain as well as is air tight.

The plastic metro is bent at the betoken it exits the spout such that it lies apartment against your alcohol bottle when the spout is closed.

In the opened upwards position, the metro is basically perpendicular to your alcohol bottle.

It comes alongside an "O" band to seal the cap against the bottle, but honestly I don't intend you lot demand it.

OK, as well as then why practise I tell this is a "make your life easier" slice of gear?
  • Fueling.  Got an alcohol stove alongside a tiny, piddling fuel opening?  No sweat.  Insert that piddling straw instantly into the fuel port.  See photograph below.
  • Measuring out alcohol.  When I dispense alcohol into my piddling medicine measuring cup, this straw allows me to crush it inwards actually smoothly without a lot of turbulence.  It's slow to meet just where the meniscus lies against the measurements on the cups.  I also convey really precise control.
  • Oops!  Did I crush out also much alcohol?  No problem.  Squeeze the bottle a piddling bit, dip the straw into the alcohol, as well as role the straw to suck upwards the excess alcohol.  Sweet.
  •  Priming.  That straw is peachy for getting alcohol into difficult to achieve onetime stoves that you'd similar to prime number alongside alcohol.

Tricky fueling that piddling alcohol stove?  Problem solved.  Fueling the piddling MBD Nion three simmering alcohol stove.
Now, could you lot DIY something similar? Sure.  If your flip top pour spout has a circular cross section, slice of cake.  But PackaFeather has already done a actually expert labor as well as produces a character product.  Someone passed this tip along to me (thanks, Nick!!), as well as at nowadays I top it on to you.

The PackaFeather cap.  It just makes life easier.
