[pct-l] shipping fuel canisters

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

All this discussion about shipping HEET? Why do that? You are hiking  
a crest trail. Meaning your whole distance is in the mountains, in  
regions where people need HEET for their cars. Just buy it in the  
next town.

I never once ran out of fuel on my hike. HEET was everywhere. A  
bottle of it lasted forever, and there was always a bottle of it in a  
hiker box somewhere.

Save yourself the aggravation and just buy HEET as you go along. It  
isn't subject to the AQMD ban.
