[pct-l] Fw: Re: jetboil canisters

[Edward Anderson]

I used Snow Peak canisters for my Jetboil. Bought therm all at REI before starting my PCT ride. Since I resupplied myself by driving ahead and caching I did not have to either buy them along the way or ship them.  There has been recent discussion on this forum on the proceedure for shipping canisters via U.S.P.S.  You should be able to access that info in the archives.  As far as I know, all of the locations that you mention in your post have Post Offices - even little Beldon Town.  This is going to take some research on your part.

Just about any of the canisters labeled "isobutane/propane" or "butane propane mix", with the correct connector, should work.

MSR, Snow Peak, JetBoil, Brunton

When you bump into these, if they look about like a Jetboil can, same size and shape and threaded connector on top, they will probably work.

Coleman makes one, but not this big green canister:

It will look more like a large Jetboil one (yes it's upside down in this picture):
