Jim,
What setup can you recommend for an emergency stove for winter hiking with snow on the ground and windy weather?
Is it realistic to have 0.5 kg / 1 lb weight including a pot, a windscreen, a small canister, a cozy and either a hanging kit or a stand?
0.5 kg for the entire set up is pretty challenging for a winter stove, but I can get you pretty close.
Here's a set up that weighs 518 g, just 18 g more than your specified 0.5 kg:
This includes 0.9 L pot, windscreen, full fuel canister (110g), and winter stove. The only "catch" is that you can't cook on snow. You have to find a bare patch of ground, a log, a rock, a snow shovel blade, a foam pad, something that you can set the stove on otherwise a hot stove will melt into the snow.
If that sounds interesting, let me know, and I'll write it up.
HJ
