[pct-l] Fuel for woodstove in socal?

[Ken Powers]

This reminds me of further prohibitions PCT hikers may encounter. It is not 
unusual in drier years to have the Forest Service or BLM close the forest to 
fires. The prohibition frequently extends to stoves including not only 
natural-fuel stoves but also cat can and pepsi can stoves. Canister stoves 
and, I believe, white gas stoves are allowed in nearly all the fire 
prohibitions.

In case anyone is wondering, Zip stoves and other natural-fuel stoves *are* 
included in the fire prohibitions, as described here for example:
