    How to clean your stove's jet without the tool

    You know how you have to clean the jet of the stove especially when using car fuel (at least once in a while)... wow I was using the provided tool (the MSR wire but this is the same thing with Kovea or Primus stove) until the wire broke and got lost!

    And there is no MSR nor REI store in the middle of Tibet!

    That's how I found out that my bicycle was carrying hundreds of km of that MSR tool ! the wire from derailleurs and brakes cable!!

    Yeah, just seprate one of the tiny wire from the cable, cut it and this works perfectly!
