[pct-l] Alcohol stove

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

I like the 500 ml (16.9 oz) disposable water bottles.  Boiling 2 pints of 
water per day, one bottle should last a week or more.  Get the kind with the 
screw-on cap, and be careful not to overtighten the cap.  The bottles with the 
pop-up valves can leak.

If you're hiking with a partner, carry two stoves and two bottles of fuel 
rather than one large one.  Fuel can be spilled, or you may need a little extra 
to lend another hiker.  

These bottles, or the 250 ml version, are also perfect for carrying olive 
oil.
