[pct-l] stoves and water filters

[trail-name-soon]

I ditched my WhisperLite in favor of the Snow Peak Lite Max burner (2
ounces) and canisters with good results.

I have used several MSR water filters. I have used the MSR Hyperflow for a
year and it works great plus it has a great in-pack filling ability. (you
have to use a cap that fits Nalgene bottles or msr reservoirs.

Stove and filter have worked well.

Hasta la pasta.

Hi,

I am replacing my MSR Whisperlite stove and would like suggestions  
from past thru-hikers.  I am thinking of going with a screw-on  
canister stove.  Are the standard butane/propane canisters readily  
available in most resupply towns?  Any other thoughts, pros/cons with  
that style?

I use an MSR Sweetwater filter.  For those who have thru-hiked with  
the same filter, what is your experience with filter life, i.e., how  
many filters did you go through over the course of the entire trail?

Thanks!

Bethany
