This windshield/pot stand may not be a necessity for backpacking or deep in the woods where you can use rocks, tree limbs, earth berms, or other materials to protect your flame. I do like this a lot for urban use. In a public park where we use our alcohol stoves, I think the groundskeeping staff would not be happy to see folks dragging away their carefully placed stones from the landscape. You will also be hard-pressed to find fallen limbs or trash to improvise with. These lightweight, compact when folded windshield/pot stands are a perfect solution. Thank you for the demonstration and for showcasing these products.
