I was wondering if there were any more recent thru hikers who could give their input about fuel availability on the trail.
I know that years ago it was only alcohol or liquid fuel that had high availability along the trail, but I'm hearing more and more people who have been using canister fuel.
I'm planning a nobo thru hike for 2009 and am trying to narrow down my stove options.
I'd really like to bring an MSR Pocket Rocket, but I'm worried about canister fuel availability...is this a valid worry?
Also, if anyone has some serious Pocket Rocket experience I'd love to know any tips you have with this stove, esp. how it performs in very cold weather. Thanks!
