[pct-l] HEET - Caution

[Paul Robison]

At your local pharmacists they will give you an 8 ounce cough syrup bottle free.

this will never be mistaken for a soda or drink,   has leak proof threads and is 
very light weight.

an orange oval shaped cough syrup bottle is a safe way to be sure your heet will 
never leak.   alcohols often eat away sharpee, so the marks are gone over time.  
this bottle will always be an obvious poison.

tell your pharmacist you are backpacking and dont want to keep your alcohol in a 
soda bottle and he will gladly give you a bought syrup bottle in 6 8 or 12 
ounces.

I found that the small Heet bottles were ok until opened (i.e. silver foil seal 
broken), they then leaked as the screw top did not adequately seal them up 
again. Consider carrying a reliable bottle for fuel and decant into it. A drink 
bottle would do, wrapped in duct tape and clearly ID'd as FUEL ONLY.
