[pct-l] Which stove this dry year?

Due to this extremely dry year in CA, and the potential ban on the usage of
stoves without a shutoff valve, I am wondering what people are using for
stoves this year. I know that alcohol stoves are usually the favorite, due
to the ease of finding fuel for them on the trail, but that may not be a
safe or legal option in parts of CA this year.  I have a jetboil, but am
concerned about being able to get fuel canisters to myself.

So, what are people choosing to do this year in CA?

Does anyone have first hand experience mailing jetboil canisters? The info
I have been able to find does not give a clear picture of how to do it and
whether or not the post office will be able to accept the package if you
include a canister.

Thanks!

Badger
