[pct-l] alcohol on trail

[ROYROBIN@aol.com (ROYROBIN@aol.com)]

<< I've bought into the alcohol stoves and built a Photon for my journey 
north.  Has anyone compiled a list of trail towns/resupply points that do or 
don't have the precious liquid?   >>

Don't have a "where" list, but here's what you should look for.  Alcohol 
stove fuel can be found at many hardware, sporting goods or marine supply 
stores.  Shellac thinner at paint or hardware stores.  Gas line antifreeze 
(not radiator antifreeze) at service stations or auto stores.  Read the 
labels to get pure alcohol.  

Denatured alcohol is simply alcohol that has been poisoned to make it 
undrinkable.  Rubbing alcohol often makes poor fuel because it can be up to 
30 percent or more water, and it often doesn't say so on the label.  

Alcohol fuel can be mailed, surface mail, with proper packaging and labeling. 
 Check the postal regulations.
