I always pack too much fuel. This year I'm not going to give in to that impulse. Like others stated, old timey grate fire will do in a pinch. Unless... an all day downpour. That's when the PB & honey on a tortilla wrap shines. Cold food backups. Re: Etekcity Ultralight Portable Outdoor Backpacking Camping Stove with Piezo Ignition. Pack a Bic in the event the Piezo Ignition fails. Been known to happen. |

quote AmarilloJim: "Has anyone had valves fail on these canisters? I always bring back up fuel and ignition source just in case but I only bring stoves during fire bans. If you do need to use a fire your cookware will be blackened." Yes but only once. Then again I do not use canister as much as liquid fuel. butthead |

Plus -consider your pot. TI will transfer heat faster on the stove. -You don't need to boil the water for everything-real hot works -koozies help preserve heat once transferred off the stove John |

For lunch just tortilla shells and tuna packets. I'll also make 2-3 cups of instant coffee each day. I'll have 5 breakfast and 5 dinners. I'm not sure how much water I'll have to boil for each meal, but am assuming 1-2 cups. I'll boil 2-3 cups of water each day for my coffee. I am using this for a stove. Etekcity Ultralight Portable Outdoor Backpacking Camping Stoves with Piezo Ignition. I am using a 230 gram Jetboil Jetpower Isobutane/Propane fuel mix. According to the Jetboil website, a 100 gram container will boil 10-12 liters of water. So the 230 gram should do at least twice that. I figure I will boil 7-10 liters total. I understand that wind will be a factor and will bring some heavy duty aluminum foil to set up as a wind shield. I figure this one container of fuel should be enough, but I do not want to be wrong. Here is my setup. Should I bring a 2nd container of fuel just in case? |
