[pct-l] Stoves

[Timothy Boyle]

I ve used a msr dragonfly for 15 yrs until it was stolen wirh the rest of
my gear in Port Angeles after hiking the PCT in 12- Im dedicated to the
integrity of a thru and plan to start over this spring. Using a canister
stove was ideal if the fuel was handy, but isobutane or similar fuels were
hard to find, in Most reup towns, hiker boxes always seemed to have half
empty canisters with potential. It gets to be a mass thing when you carry 5
cans of fumes, but its never impossible to score some fuel...Ive always
been anti-alcohol stoves because I already had my dragonfly- I choose to
reevaluate my dedication and Im probably going with an alcohol stove this
year. Fuel is available, its not difficult to send in resupply boxes, and
in a pinch the world provides...
