[pct-l] alcohol (stove) bottle size for a thru-hike.

[Kent Spring]

Hi Julian -
 
I am sure someone else with more alcohol stove experience will give you better 
details, but I was shocked (shocked!!!) to find out the best bottle to use to carry 
alcohol is an empty plastic Coke (or other soda pop) bottle.  Just make sure 
you mark it, so someone doesn't confuse it with water.  Of course, a HEET bottle 
will work, but it is not as easy to see how much is left.
