[pct-l] Stove Canisters

[will.hiltz at gmail.com]

Off the top of my head:

Idyllwild
Wrightwood?
REI from the saufleys
Mojave
Bishop (kersarge pass)
Tahoe
Chester
Shasta city (dunsmir)
Ashland
Sisters
Winthrop (rainy pass)

Anyone know more? I was seeing a lot of partially full canisters in the hiker boxes too.

Easy

Gee, ain't this list great?  I ask a simple question about where are canisters available... We'll argue the question about shipping later, but I will tell you that REI, etc stopped shipping canisters last summer because of new regs that say it can't be done. (I've got an email into Gottawalk about his take on shipping.)  I like esbit, but find it a bit wimpy with boiling much water.  And, as far as safety - I've had alcohol stoves go wrong, because (frankly) they are very light (read unstable) and it is hard to always be totally attentive.  Several folks have talked about the JetBoil in glowing terms, and I have trouble with it for a variety of reasons, most of which have been mentioned.

Now for my original question - where can you buy
 canisters???

thanks, Spring
