Was planning to use my Helinox groove lock pole with extender since I carry the pole anyhow. Is there any advantage to using a carbon fiber pole instead? Mostly concerned about the trekking pole failing in strong winds. Anyone had experience with poles breaking?
The other thread inspired me to build my own stove for my LBO but I didn't really want a cylinder or a box stove. I really liked the design of the HPG shepherd stove so I kind of copied that. I have zero experience using these lightweight stoves let alone building one but it seemed easy enough...

I'm going to pull the trigger on a Llano 1/4zip but my chest measurement is 42" which is right on small end of Large. I don't want this base layer to be too loose if I decide on a large or too short if I buy medium. How is the fit on the Llano? On the loose side or more form fitting? Thx!
