Thank you for all the comments my backcountry gurus. I made some changes in plans...(Plan "B")

On my trip North, the generator (27 LBS) is going to be to much weight. Amphibs installed really changes the W/B scene for me.

The Optimus Stove (dual fuel) is coming this trip. Going light as possible. Safety, fuel, shelter, weight are priority at this point ( and not out spending my budget ).

Heh heh... this is the truth! Think like a backpacker! Loaded-to-max-gross airplanes aren't fun to fly into short spots. And part of the adventure is going without.

New Scouts fly great loaded up.

Yep, they fly just like a very heavy Scout.

Some people have different results I guess.

You guys talked me out of the generator! To much weight for this little ship on this particular trip. Back making coffee the old fashion way... Optimus stove and a stainless steel cup;
