[pct-l] question re canisters

[Jim Banks]

Susan, I use the small canisters for my Jet Boil.  They are 3.53 oz. or 100g.  I can depend on getting 20 "boils" with one canister, sometimes a few more.  A "boil" is bringing 2 cups of water to a boil.

Subject: [pct-l] question re canisters

Though I’ve hiked 1500 PCT section miles, I am only beginning to use a stove with canisters.  How long should I expect one Snowpeak Gigapower 4 oz canister to last under these conditions?
	
	— boil 2 cups of water for breakfast and for dinner
	— current temperatures from Campo to Hwy 74 are expected to be upper 30s to lower 70s

Thanks for any help you can provide with a simple question about which I just have no clue.

P.S.  As a section hiker, I only get on the PCT-L when I’m going to be hiking a particular section, and everyone has always been very helpful over the last ten years.  Apparently I have missed out on meanness, which I am delighted about having missed.  Thanks to all who have helped me now and over the years.
