[Cdt-l] Fuel Availability

[Sly]

Will,

I wouldn't bother with the Whisperlite unless you don't mind burning 
gasoline for the majority of time.  Coleman fuel isn't available in too 
many places.  On the other hand, Heet, or denatured alcohol, was 
available almost every where with the exception of drop locations such 
as Benchmark (possible in hiker box) and Big Sandy. 

Sly.
