>From experience, with an adequate windscreen in place, I average the
following number of boils of 1 liter of cold water per canister:

4 oz. net gas canister = 6+
8 oz. net gas canister = 13

These results were obtained at elevations of 4,000 to 10,000 feet. Remember
that water boils at lower temperatures as altitude increases.

212°F at sea level
208° at 2,000 feet
204° at 4,000 feet
200° at 6,000 feet
197° at 8,000 feet
193° at 10,000 feet
190° at 12,000 feet
> 12,000 feet ......why are you camping this high along the PCT? Are you
sure you're not on the CT or the CDT by mistake? Walk high; sleep low.
