While trying to decide between alcohol and the lightest Jetboil model I have some questions for those who have used alcohol regarding resupply along the trail:
1 - What quantities do you typically buy DA (denatured alcohol) in? Around here DA comes in quart bottles and also gallons. Sometimes I see the yellow Heet which I think is 12 oz.
2 - Of the amounts you buy how much of that do you carry with you and what do you do with the rest? Do you sometimes/often share the cost with others or share the remainder - if so how?
3 - How much did you have remaining when you resupplied?
4 - How much did you typically use in a day on the trail?
5 - Did you have to resort to alternative fuels, if so why and what were the results?
6 - How did you find the acquiring of fuel? It would seem to me it would be seeking out a different type of store, and maybe feel like a waste of time.
7 - Anything else about this subject you feel is relevant to share.
Thanks
