[pct-l] Fuel along the PCT

[Kevin Taylor]

Alcohol in the fuel list is either as yellow HEET (12 oz) or as denatured alcohol, sold by the ounce.  I saw larger containers but there were always other options.

Do you know if all of the 'Alcohol' listings in the form of yellow HEET, or are some of them actually the half-gallon metal boxes or such?

When I went through this year, Sierra City and Crater Lake were both out of canisters.  We actually started using Amazon to ship fuel to ourselves for the remainder of Oregon and Wash.  By the way, an 8 oz canister in Chester cost $13.95!
