Has anyone tried hiking the trail with a propane stove (the kind that screws to the top of a container about the size of a coffee can)? Two containers of fuel are lighter than a full container of alcohol or white gas, but how long will they last and can you buy fuel along the trail.
Of course seasoned hikers will realize from this question that I am very inexperienced at backpacking. These stoves seem to be very easy to use and care for, and I have enough to learn starting in about 12 days.
