RE: [pct-l] Zip Stoves

["David Long" <David_Long@email.msn.com>]

Don't know if this applies to JMT, but I asked the backcountry rangers at
Mt. Rainier N.P. about ZIP stoves.  They said it's fine to use them in the
park, but you can't gather wood in the park to burn; you have to bring in
wood from outside, such as National Forest land.  That kinda defeats the
whole idea of the ZIP stove:  that you gather the fuel as you go rather than
carrying it with you.

That has me wondering if the ZIP stove is going to work for me for my
thru-hike next year.  Anybody else thru-hiked with a ZIP?

This list is great!  I'll put your wisdom to use on my Thruhike next
year.

I LOVE my Zip Stove.  My question is, are Zips allowed in the Stove Only
areas on the JMT?  Help!  TIA, Marty
