Ssshhhh, I Can’t Hear You…Why I Love My MSR Whisper Lite Stove

The MSR int’l whisper lite might lack the glimmer of a low simmer but boil it will in a record breaking spill
 
 No need to buy the primus for surely all those fuel cartridges will cause an international fuss
 
Up in flames she went due to my unattended head, I screwed the cap on wrong, for I must have been thinking about a bong
 
To no avail, she recovered from my fail and she still burns great even if you’ve cycled all day and it’s getting late
 
Pasta on demand in a quick boiling camp pan, I am stumped for a better nutritional plan
 
High altitude passes and the Gobi desert she has gone and even then this stove hasn’t gone wrong
 
Her silent ways have been proven with every cent well spent even packed tight into a pannier you won’t find a dent
 
What’s that you say? You want one today but sssssh I can’t hear you. For the whisper lite is always right even if the operator is fresh from a rain soaked bicycle touring night
 
 
Special note: Just so you know, I am unsponsored by MSR and enjoy writing about things that have proven to work from almost 3 years of continuous bicycle touring through 18 countries.  However, the bicycle ambulance project is on my mind. If you shop at amazon.com through this website it doesn’t cost you anything extra and I receive a small amount, about 1% of the sale. The money will go towards the purchase of a bicycle ambulance and will be given to a community in Namibia when I arrive by bicycle. The profits from the Be The Adventure T-shirts also go towards the bicycle ambulance project. If you shop at amazon.com anyway, a big thanks to you for remembering to shop through the amazon.com icon on the right sidebar.
