[pct-l] Burn Bans

[Edward Anderson]

Daniel,
 
I think campfires are prohibited in all of the National Forests of Southern California in areas where the PCT passes through. Stoves that burn twigs and stoves that do not have shut-off valves are also illegal. They fall into the category of "open fires". Check with the individual N.F. ranger districts to verify. We have had too many human-started wildfires over the years on the PCT.

Okay, next question: Anyone have any idea how much of the PCT is under burn
bans in a typical year? (With the understanding that of course there's no
such thing as a "typical year.") I'd be interested in hearing how folks
generally handle lengthy (i.e., 75 or 100 or 200 miles straight) sections
of trail with no fires permitted....

Thanks. Oh, and thanks to everyone for the wonderful responses to my
earlier Vargo stove question. Lots of great food for thought, both on and
off list, so thanks!
