Survey for possible product geared towards climbing
|
Have been tossing around an idea for a new ultralight cooking product geared towards climbing/mountaineering/ultralight backpacking. I would appreciate if some of you guys could take a little survey I made relating to the product! I will probably use the information a quick practice pitch to my entrepreneurship class (am a college student). If people take the survey or express interest and I do end up following through with my idea, I might even offer it on here dirt cheap as a thank you! Link to survey is below. |

I took the survey. What is solid fuel for a stove? |

Super appreciate you guys taking it! I'm thinking more along the lines of some of the smaller high-heat tablets that are available (similar to the Esbit tablets). Sort of like fire starters but burn with much more intensity. |

Question 1 says choose all that apply but only allows you to choose one. |

Just a rough survey to get some basic info! |

Regarding the survey's last question, I've used the Esbit extensively and have an opinion of its solid fuel. Recently I've only been using MSR because: |

Recently I've only been using MSR because: -The tabs become useless if the foil packaging tears and water gets in -Burn residue and other gunk gets all over the stove and cookware -The fuel made my bear canister smell like dead fish Now, I pretty much only use it on overnight trips, or I'll loan it to someone who goes with me and needs a stove.Thank you, I appreciate the feedback! I have played around with the Esbit tabs a little bit, so am familiar with the smell. I'll probably dig around in the future and see if there is anything else (or if it's possible to create anything else) that works a bit better. |
