[pct-l] Vargo Stove

[David Thibault]

You will probably have lots of second thoughts about all kind of gear
choices you'v made until you actually hit the trail.

Luckily once you get on the trail and the gear works you won't think about
it again.  And if it doesn't work you'll chuck it and get something that
does.

Gear is one of the least important parts of a thru hike - but as we wait
for our hikes to start it is the only thing we can do anything about so
we obsess about it - human nature!  Unless you are planning to carry a
microwave oven and a long extension cord I'm sure whatever stove you have
will work fine.  Will you find one sometime in the future that works better
for you - I can guarentee it.  Will it really matter?   - not at all.

Enjoy your hike
