Re: Stoves and fuel for long hikes

GREat to read the helpful comments. I have been trying to experiment with my titanium caldera cone combined with the pocket rocket as well. Thanks for the mentions of backup with a couple of esbits. With a tri-ti there is always the option of using old fashioned fire. I look forward to some stove cackling on this year TGO. Anyone interested in coming up the CWT afterwards? I hope to go to Ft. WILLIAM after Montrose then CWT North.

Re: Stoves and fuel for long hikes

It's just not right to carry alcohol that you don't intend to drink ....


I will actually try meths with a little multi-fuel stove I have. I've not used it since the days when my parents used a Trangia and climbers used primies.

Re: Stoves and fuel for long hikes

I stick to my stripped down jetboil Titanium. 7.5 oz for stove and pot isn't too bad, and way less futzy than alcohol stoves. Not interested in those. I always boil cook water, just to be safe.
