Then you need the Growlerwerks Ukeg 128, a portable gallon-sized stainless steel mini keg -and-growler hybrid with tap built right in.

Halfway between a fire pit and a backpacking stove, the Solo Stove is a modern, stainless-steel wood-burning stove. Small and light enough for backpacking and hiking, the Solo Lite weighs only 9 oz. It is specially engineered to burn wood much more efficiently and with much less smoke than a straight-up, traditional campfire. It also takes much of the work out of lighting a fire – twigs and kindling can simply be stuffed inside and lite. The air intakes on the bottom of the Solo Stove bring air into the bottom of the fire, almost like a bellows, while also allowing warm air to rise up the sides of the stove – which creates a secondary combustion and larger fire, and creates less smoke than a regular fire. It’s also more efficient, and will use less fuel than an open fire.

The outsole is made from Contagrip – Salomon’s version of Vibram – and offers flawless performance in any terrain or condition, whether wet or dry. Parts of the sole that wear out faster are made of harder rubber, while the parts that get less wear are made of a lower density, more flexible rubber.
