[pct-l] Fuel for woodstove in socal?

[Donna Saufley]

I’ve seen hikers using them (one did a demo for us), and they said they had
adequate fuel along the way.  I checked them out for myself, but decided
there were too many moving parts, and the need to carry another battery.
The alcohol stove won out for least number of things that could go wrong
(just don’t spill the fuel – doh!!!)

I'm thinking about taking a small woodstove on my thru this year.  Is this
feasable?  I haven't done much desert hiking, and didn't know if I could
expect to find dry brush to use as fuel to rely on every night to cook with.
It would be nice to have a tiny fire every night to cook on, leave no fire
scars, and not worry about buying and carrying HEET.
