[pct-l] question re canisters

[Joe Roth]

Hi Susan,
I’ve experimented with the 4 oz container and found that at 5,000 ft altitude here in Reno it’ll boil 600 mi of water 26 times.
Hope
That helps,
Reno Hawk,

Though I’ve hiked 1500 PCT section miles, I am only beginning to use a stove with canisters.  How long should I expect one Snowpeak Gigapower 4 oz canister to last under these conditions?
   
   — boil 2 cups of water for breakfast and for dinner
   — current temperatures from Campo to Hwy 74 are expected to be upper 30s to lower 70s

Thanks for any help you can provide with a simple question about which I just have no clue.

P.S.  As a section hiker, I only get on the PCT-L when I’m going to be hiking a particular section, and everyone has always been very helpful over the last ten years.  Apparently I have missed out on meanness, which I am delighted about having missed.  Thanks to all who have helped me now and over the years.
