A day nothing went right!! I lost my spectacle yesterday,and then my MSR stove fuel bottle cannot be pressurised,suspected the pump cup worn out,can't read the instructions without my spectacle.Bought a new one in St-Quen for 19.9 eur.Precious time lost in searching for camping shops failed.To add salt to a miserable day, encountered very bad weather with shower rain almost the whole day,whats more even the wind wasn't in my favour.For the first time,I felt so helpless,so down and almost wanted to cry in the rain.Worried about the dinner tonight without my MSR stove,certainly one of my worst day! Perhaps the only consolation was I still managed to cook up a good and satisfactory dinner and hot coffee at the campsite by using the firewood around and to start the fire with my MSR petrol fuel.
