[pct-l] Transporting camping stoves

[m.karon at comcast.net (Marshall Karon)]

Another thought on this, depending on how paranoid you are.

We didn't want to chance arriving without our most important equipment, so
we carried on what we knew would be difficult, costly, and time consuming to
replace: pack, sleeping bag, tent, Giga-power stove without fuel, cooking
pot, rain gear, first section maps, some articles of clothes, etc.. We could
check the sleeping pad, food, etc. We did mail fuel to the person we would
stay with the first night, but he also said he could get fuel for us.
