Cooking

MSR manufactures a range of backpacking stoves. We decided to go for one that Whisperlite fits our needs, since it can burn a wide variety of fuels. After nearly missing the chance to set the kitchen on fire during the primming phase, this stove proved capable of boiling 600ml of water in 5 minutes. Together with a set of GSI Bugaboo pots/pans/cups, the stove shall help us have a hot meal now and then.

Find the spot

Findmespot.com is providing this satellite messenger + GPS tracker that we decided to have. The unit itself was $150 and the plan $100 per year with some options. The most interesting option was the $100k coverage for medevac operations. Unfortunately, they just emailed that there is a recall on this unit, so needs to be returned. We have to figure out how to create a new tab for this blog to include this shared page that shows our current position and last week movement in Google Earth.

Bolivia is the only country in our trip that requires a visa for Romanian citizens. Fortunately, the consulate was less than 10km away.
