Re: Hot 1: hat 0 - what lightweight oven mitt?

Test done, and the verdict's in. https://i.postimg.cc/4dV6F22t/PXL-20240214-120809909.jpg Heatshrink: looks pretty, and pleasing to apply, but doesn't withstand flame from stove and is still too hot to the touch. https://i.postimg.cc/GmmjhQ9w/PXL-20240214-121524101-LONG-EXPOSURE-01-COVER.jpg MSR pan...

Re: Who'd have thunk it, an interesting article on Road.cc?
That's not a criticism of anyone, by the way. Can, What and Where are very broadly interpretable, to the extent you could easily argue that I can do a long distance race in Alaska by whatever means it takes to get there because no other planets are available. Context is all. Just a plea for mindfuln...

Re: Hot 1: hat 0 - what lightweight oven mitt?
Silicone tubing added to handles works well. Making sure the handles aren't touching each other when on the stove keeps them cooler too ... honestly it does. Me, I have a little square of silicone mat that I pick hot things up with, I also have a silicone band around the top of my mug, which I will...

Maybe you should look at maintaining some kind of semi-permanent shelter up there, a la summittoppler.

Re: BeSpoked 2024 - Manchester
