On average, I boil |
15 |
cups of water per day.
Note: One cup is about 250 ml. |
|
My stove burns about |
3.0 |
grams of fuel per cup boiled.
About 4 g for conventional stoves; 3 g for high efficency stoves like a Jetboil; or enter your own number based on your experience. |
|
My next trip will be |
5.0 |
days long.
If you know know you'll be boiling less on a given day, count that day as, 0.25, 0.5 or 0.75 depending on how much less; count all other days as 1. |
|
I will need about |
225 |
grams of fuel as a baseline estimate. |
|
I want a |
10 |
percent margin for error.
Wind, delays, etc. may cause you to need more. |
|
I will need about |
248 |
total grams of fuel (baseline + margin). |
|
Therefore I need a |
450 |
gram sized canister.
Note: Formula includes 100, 110, 220, 230, and 450 as possible canister sizes. |
|
I will have about |
202 |
"excess" grams fuel. |
|
Giving me about |
67 |
additional cups boiled total. |
|
Or about |
13 |
additional cups boiled per day. |
