At the start of this month's meeting, Reed Greenwood(left) talked about his plans for keeping up with the OA Troop Representative program. Michael Yancey and Frank Cusimano(below) talked about their adventure at the Section SR-3 Conclave in late April. Each officer gave a report to the chapter as we break for the summer. Then it was on to the activity(right).

After the success of last month's soda can camp stove, it was appropriate that this month we talked about various types of backpacking stoves. Our Adviser, Mr. Tim Conard, brought his liquid-fueled Whisperlite™ stove(below left) and demonstrated how to properly use it. These small stoves are convenient and lightweight, making them very popular for the average backcountry trailblazer. There are also stoves that use the same standard propane tank as many large Coleman™ camp stoves, they tend to be bulkier and have proven to have poor performance in high altitude situations. This was our last meeting until August, so we hope that all our Yanush members have a fun and safe summer.(below right: new ordeal member, Torsten Knabe, lights a stove.) |
