Lightweight?  Hmmm - maybe.  For a 6 day stretch that's 24 oz of fuel +
stove weight + fuel container weight.  Total about maybe 32 oz.  

For an 8 day stretch last year we used 18 oz of fuel + stove weight (10
oz) + fuel container weight.  Total 32 oz.  That was for two of us.

I was thinking about using an alcohol stove.  Maybe I'll think again.  

Walk softly,
Jim
