I'm new to this group and like the discussion on stoves and equipment so far- here is my two bits worth.

I purchases the snow peak stove.  It works very well and very easy to light and operate.  Much easier than my older coleman feather 400.  I don't think it is especially detremental to the environment since I don't waste fuel during the lighting process or spilling fuel.  I like the convenience after a hard day.  
And as for mailing them- it is legal and ok with the US postal service as long as you cushion the canister and mark as land/surface shipping only (ie not air shipment).  

Has anyone tried the Golite Pack.  What did you think of it.
I liked how light it was, but it took some doing to get my all my stuff in it.  I guess I have to learn how to pack lighter.  On the down side, the mesh pockets fell apart (got holes in them) on the first day with some easy boulder scrambling.  I have send it back to Golite and hopefully they can think of something.
Otherwise the pack and other GO-lite clothes are indeed very light and seemed to be very well put together.
