[pct-l] Will I die using Fuel canisters?

[Ken Powers]

We haven't. We now have over 15,000 miles of hiking using canisters. While 
those alcohol stoves are still heating water we are enjoying our meal cooked 
over isobutane!

See our webpage http://www.gottawalk.com/shipping_fuel.htm for info on 
mailing fuel.

I've been on the L a few times asking about where to resupply fuel
canisters.  I received a few responses.  So I "broke down" and got YOGI.
Yes, it is very good reading and planning information. I'm glad I got it. It
has sections reviewing different types of shoes, socks, packs, bags, pads,
food, cook pots, etc.  BUT, when it comes to stoves there is ONLY one in
YOGI, "Alcohol Stoves."  Nothing else!  Not one comment regarding canisters
or any other type of stove.  Is there a secret socity of the West I'm not
privy to?  Will I die using a fuel canister or worse yet eat cold ramens? I
promise I won't tell anyone here in the EAST ;-)
