Last year I was joined by another hiker from Tuolumne Meadows to Ashland. 
We used her Whisperlite.  I don't remember not finding fuel, but we did have 
my alcohol stove as a backup.  In a couple of cases buying a full gallon 
would have been required, as it was the only size available.

Subject: [pct-l] white gas ?



I am going to be hiking the PCT using a MSR simmerlite stove, which only 
uses "White Gas". Is "White Gas" easy to find in the towns ? What product 
should I be looking out for ? i.e Colemans. What have been other people 
experiences of finding "White Gas".



Is "White gas" the same thing as naphtha fuel ?



Thanks



Brendon
