[pct-l] white gas

[spiritbear2k@hotmail.com (Ginny & Jim Owen)]

Jesse - We cook much as you do - hot breakfast (can't hike without my cof=
fee, though we often ate cold cereal as the oatmeal got old really fast),=
 then hot dinner with soup before and hot chocolate afterwards.  In other=
 words, I fired up  the stove often.  Even so, we never used more than a =
22 oz fuel bottle on any of the trails - that includes 8 day stretches of=
 the CDT and the 10 day stretch in the Sierras.  (If I knew it would be a=
 long stretch, I did tend to cook a bit less often, or I'd do faster cook=
ing foods.)  I cook on a Whisperlight international, so that if white gas=
 was hard to get, or if we could only buy it in 1 gallon cans, we could u=
se unleaded instead.  Sometimes we bought the big can of white gas and le=
ft it for other hikers, sometimes we asked and someone had done the same =
for us.  I have done 4 thruhikes and never had a problem getting fuel of =
some sort that worked in my whisperlight.
