Remember my friend with the new camp stove? He never tested it before the trip. At camp, he spent an hour trying to connect the fuel canister wrong. We all went to bed hungry that night.

Actually, has anyone checked what time of day they're cutting the stems? I read that cutting them super early in the morning when they're super hydrated makes a bigger difference than anything you put in the water later.

Totally! I read a vet say that exact thing.
