    Ok, sorry to "piss on your fire" as the phrase goes BUT......

    If your doing proper outdoor living then why do you need liquid fuel?....Look behind you, enough fuel for hours and hours of cooking.

    How much hiking or camping do you do?

    When your on a lightweight hiking/camping trip - its faster to use a stove, then to build a fire, and then have to put the fire out again.

    Some parks and hiking trails do not allow you to build fires, or to use anything from the woods to build a fire.

    During times of drought, its easier to use a stove, then to have a fire and sparks blowing in the wind. A liquid fuel stove does not put out sparks.

    Not alot now, (too old mate!)
    but
    Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree( oh there I go again...topical!!)
    I agree with what you say, I refer to serious longterm outdoor living or more survival I guess.
    Camping is a bit "holiday" compared to what I expereinced and I guess I should not compare the two.

    Nice vid, its also nice you get to do stuff with your son.
