[pct-l] two person stove set up

[Paul Robison]

its easy enough to do at home with a scale... 
the problem is doing it at a gas station in the middle of the trail trying to 
decide if you need another.

... it cannot be understated how much harder it is to get canisters than 
alcohol.   this is an area in which the PCT is very unlike the AT

about the 2 hour thing,  i wonder if that is all out...  i know i typically run 
my stove at half power unless it is very windy.  i am also unsure if all stoves 
blow at the same rate when fully open.

canister stoves is because you never
know how much fuel you have left..

I asked at 5th.Season in Mt.Shasta one time and was advised the CV270 (7 3/4 oz 
size) for  camping gaz stove lasts 2 hours. No idea how accurate that is, just 
thought I'd share. It would take some record keeping to record the times, and to 
know how much was left for the next trip (assuming you didn't empty the whole 
canister on one trip).

are we there yet
