used my snow peak gigapower on a frosty 5am run this week

grabbed this thing for around 35 bucks last month and finally tested it out on a quick dawn trail stop in the foothills. fires up instantly even when my hands are half frozen from the colorado cold, boils water for my oatmeal in like 3 minutes flat. only tiny gripe is the auto igniter feels a bit delicate if you pack it wrong but it held up great in my sweaty gym bag the rest of the day. keeps me fueled without slowing down my morning loop, super happy with how light it is.

nice, i usually pack my gigapower for early flight layovers when the hotel coffee is trash. last month in denver it saved me on a 430am connection, boiled water for my instant oats while everyone else was stuck in the lounge line. the piezo click works even with cold fingers from the jetway, though the flame does dance a bit in any breeze. still beats hauling a bigger setup through tsa.
