[pct-l] what is the best way to carry Heet?

[Vicky Mattson]

My husband, 13 year old and I will most likely not split up.  My husband
has to have coffee in the morning so I will be doing two meals a day.  It
looks like about 3 ozs to get a boil and a few minutes cooking time for a
quart of water.  It almost makes more sense to keep my pocket rocket, if I
could find fuel.  We are section hiking Washington and Oregon this summer.
