[pct-l] Which stove this dry year?

[Michael Badger]

Hi Mango,

Yes. I think that is a possible option.  I've been considering dehydrating
some of my food to send in my resupply packages.  I will do some tests with
cold water to see how the rehydration goes.  If that works fine, then I may
just bring an alcohol stove for use where it is allowed and simply not use
a stove in places where it isn't.  Simplicity is always good!

I know it's late, but you might consider going stoveless, at least until
you get in the Sierra or some other safe area for stoves.  There's lots of
food choices that don't require cooking, and many (but not all) meals that
require reconstituting with water will do just fine without boiling water.
Just measure out the next meal's portion, add water, seal, hike 3 or 4
hours, and it's ready to eat.  Quicker, less to clean up, and safer.

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
