Zippo was invented around 1933 and is made in the USA and to date more than half a billion have been sold. I own three. In trying conditions I flick the replaceable flint to the wick and lay the lighter beneath the kindling and go about my business, close by of course, until the fire wood catches. The downside to Zippo is the fluid will evaporate canister over time. I wrap each of my Zippos in a section of bicycle inner tube to slow evaporation and I keep a can of lighter fluid handy for refill purpose.

I began saving pastry wrappers from the local pastry shop after I discovered how well they burned in wind and when kindling might be damp. Wax paper on a roll is cheap and serves several purposes.

Roll 12 inches of waxed paper as tightly as you can, twisting it almost into knots to slow the burn rate. Place it beneath your fire wood kindling and light it. The burning paraffin coating is resistant to strong wind and will also shed a bit of rain or snow.

“Yup, can’t see the forest because all the dang trees are in the way.”
After concluding that the warming shelf really is an important attribute to WindTamer, it was decided to hang the shelf by chain and hooks. That big no-no rose to greet me after I took a tumble on a trail and messed up my right arm, shoulder and wrenched my knee really bad. I found that I, a man who could do many things (some really well), could not set up this multi-functional camp ground kitchen utility.

After several months of rehab and trying to accomplish it by the same old method without achieving a different result, Irene, who inspires and motivates me more than anything ever, developed the concept we use now: a wire form suspended by the tubular frame. Works great, fast, efficient, and reliable. Teamwork and a little Albert Einstein wisdom: Definition of stupid is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.

The inspiration for WindTamer came while living in my off road trailer at Mojave River Forks campground for nearly nine months. Set at 3800 feet elevation in California high desert, I experienced ½ inch of ice in the coffee pot and snow early in the morning, 100 degree heat, and strong winds. Hot days and windy nights are normal fare in summer time. My place of business is only 9 miles away, nearly 7 of those miles were outside of town, so it was convenient to make a wind blocker for my own cooking purpose. Before long, nearby campers began asking me to make something for them to use.

Mitch is probably the only person you know who has ever swam across the Colorado river and back again. He's been licensed by NHTSA to build Guasti Trailers since 2005. An avid outdoorsman, he has been a shooter since elementary school, deer hunter since before he had a driver license, and a fisher-person beginning way back when he was only about 4 feet tall. He's explored the Grand Canyon for several weeks on end, including the entire month of July once upon a time.

There's no better job than helping campers enjoy the great outdoors without cooking hassles.

If there's a good substitution for honest, hard work, we haven't found it yet -- and we don't care if we never do.
