[pct-l] stoves?

Love love LOVE my canister stove.

Problem is, fuel resupply can be difficult for canisters on the PCT.

Shelly, that is good advice - assuming that you are using alcohol. Canister 
stoves are a lot safer and also much easier to use.  You can simmer, adjust the 
flame, and even turn it off. They are fuel efficent - cooking two meals a day I 
get five or six days from one canister.

Those are good guidelines. In addition, before I light the stove I always think 
ahead of what could happen IF the alcohol did spill. Given where I am using the 
stove, what would I need to do to put it out? My preferred method is to have a  
pile of dirt nearby as this will put out any flame quickly (don't use water!) 
This only happened to me once and as I was using the stove on the ground, in an 
existing fire ring, it was no problem. The most important thing to do is to make 

your plan before you light it up.
