[pct-l] Canister Fuel Sizes

[kdpo at gottawalk.com (Ken Powers)]

We have used the smaller canisters on our hikes. When preparing for the ADT 
we couldn't find enough small canisters and bought several large ones. The 
good thing about the larger canister is that they are considerably cheaper 
per ounce of gas. A down side is the large canister weighs more. At some 
point you will be carrying 2 of these canisters (one empty and one being 
used).

I don't know the total weight of 2 empty canisters, but it can't be too 
much. Of course 2 small canisters weigh about the same as 1 large canister.

Good Evening Fellow PCT'ers:

  I have been trying to decide between buying 4 oz isobutane canisters or 8 
oz canisters for the PCT.

  For those who have experience this: What would you choose?

  A big plus side to the 8 oz is that you do not have to ship as many of 
them, thus having less of a chance of a re-supply box not arriving because 
it was shipped ground only.

  Ryan
