That is awesome! So is that stove a self lighting stove? I am super excited for elk season too, was watching some of my Elknut videos last night!
Ok, cool. I saw the fire starter for your emergency kit, but no light and was just going to suggest something to easily start a fire. Looks like you got it under control! Good luck!
