Last year (2014) we decided to give no stove backpacking a try for the 2015 season. Our early attempt with no stove was not to our liking. We ended up with using the stove at the 10ish AM rest stop to make coffee and for dinner. Overall we used less fuel, most of our trips were of 5 days or more, which allowed us to switch to the smaller sized fuel canister.
We did explore other types of stove options but decided that we want to stick with a shut off valve.
We also bought and tested a piezo igniter for 2015. The piezo igniter worked out quite well. We will be dropping the lighter and matches from our cook kit for 2016; we will each keep an ignition device in our 10E bag.
My wife did manage a 3 day 58.7 mile solo stove-less backpacking trip.
I started ordering food items for next year (2016) keeping with the plan of only using the stove for 10AM coffee and dinner.
