The moment you pick it up, you'll be surprised by how light it is, making you wonder if it's really a bonfire stand.
In UL hiking and bikepacking, a difference of a few tens of grams can be significant, and UKIBI symbolizes that world. It won't be a burden even if you put it in a corner of your backpack or bag, yet you can fully enjoy your bonfire time.
Moreover, the appeal of this bonfire stand isn't just its lightness. The background of reusing discarded spokes adds a narrative to the tool itself, which is impressive. It's a gear that I highly recommend not only for its functionality but also for those who value reasons for choosing and relatable values.
