I agree with Joshua. The Svea Climber (123) is about the best little stove I have ever used. On portage trips in Ontario, it is the only stove I would trust my life to (take a stove that far out, in those conditions and you really do).
I bought mine for $25 on the auction site. A light weight pot that holds half a quart and a fair sized no-stick fry pan with the handle knocked off and you can cook anything. I have had mine for 15 years and it has never failed me, even in some nasty weather.
Mine doesen't have the pressure-up pump (one more thing to possibly fail in my opinion) so you sort-of set the thing on fire to light it.
Not pocket sized by any means. I am not that minimalist. It fits down in my coffee pot along with tea-bags, coffee singles, a couple of the small broth packets and a windproof lighter backed up by windproof/waterproof matches in my Marbles match safe. More survival "in a can" than you could ever buy. Full of fuel it does weigh more than the alchohol stoves, but I don't mind the weight. I probably carry more weight in spare broadheads or fishing jigs.
