Excellent answer! Outdoormarc, most people who only carry 12 lbs on a 3 day trek would most definitely be considered an ultra light backpacker! Either they are going without comforts of a sleeping pad, tent, and sleeping bag, or they have the money to spend on the super expensive ultra light...

We own two Jetboils One we bought and the other we won! The electric igniter has failed on both of the systems we own, but the super quick boil time makes up for that small inconvenience of needing to use a lighter. We haven't tried it out on the higher summits in the winter (our highest summit...
