rstllngs's Full Review: MSR Whisperlite Shaker Jet Backpacking Stove
When I first started hiking, the group leader brought his WhisperLite along. I've been on two of his many section hikes on the AT, and he still uses that WhisperLite. I've carried this thing in my pack for around 48 miles of unfriendly terrain before .... it is light. It is also really durable. I haven't seen it clog once. I haven't seen anything go wrong with it at all. I finally bought my own Whisperlite, I haven't had a single problem yet. They are more expensive than the cheap hiking stoves most places try to sell you. They are also a bit harder to find. The only thing I didn't like about it at first is trying to learn how to light it. Once you learn however, it is really a breeze. Keep it clean, although I've never seen one get gunked up, and it will last for a LONG time. If you are a hiker, and you want to shave a few ounces off your pack, and if you want a stove that'll keep up with you on the trail; get the WhisperLite brand.
