My wife's joints act up when "it's going to get damp soon". I've never thought of using her as my own personal wet weather forecast. I sympathize with her sore joints; I get them too, but mine are not attuned to barometric pressure quite like hers are. We always keep topical treatment handy for the both of us. A friend of mine gave me some muscle rub for horses; he's a horse guy. I thought at first - wait for it - he was just horsing around. But the stuff really works. We have a medicine cabinet collection of different joint and muscle ointments, just a matter of what we want to smell like any particular day.
I bought my Coleman Peak1 years ago, and it's never given me any issues. I've never even cleaned it. Mind you, it hasn't gotten a lot of use. We prefer to cook over wood fires. I've considered other fuel stoves but never saw the point of replacing something that works fine and sees little use. I'm all excited these days about replacing the Coleman with an alcohol burner instead as a backup for camp cooking. It sure would cut down on size and weight. That would save us enough room for another bottle of wine.
