SOLVED.

Welp, my frustration got the best of me and against my better judgement I put a little muscle into it on my final test. Did the trick!

Thanks a lot, guys. The first few things I found...

One last thing: removing and re-attaching the stove to the canister seems to alleviate the problem temporarily, allowing the stove to be lit and burn for 30 seconds or so before fizzling out again. I...

Looks that way. Painful. Thanks for the help, guys.

Second canister did the same thing: started off strong then sputtered and died shortly after. It's screwed on pretty snugly; I'm hesitant to secure it too tightly given some of the things I've read...

Thanks for the quick replies!



I'm using a brand new MSR IsoPro canister. I'm tempted to test another one? Ugh.



Sounds like a pain, ugh. Thanks. If I can't figure it out tonight it'll be...

I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I did a quick search but found nothing immediately and with our trip departure closing in I'm running out of options!

I picked up an MSR PocketRocket...

Good find, mudhead! I hike with an iPod sometimes so that's good to know. As far as hiking itself: I'm not so much concerned with device function as I am with knocking it out of place or injuring my...

Thanks! :)

Anyone had any experience with this? Special considerations/tips/etc.?

Yep! Planning on starting in October, though.

Count me in! In reality I was considering planting myself near Bearfence Mountain to see if I could convince him to head 0.2 to the rock scramble. It's a crime to pass through the area and miss that.

I just meant I'd figure out where he was stopping for a break or something and say hello, maybe slap him a high five. If I ended up having to keep pace with him for a little while though I don't...

You guys have got me wondering if I should pop in SNP and see if I can catch him on his way through. Would be fun.

What waterproof pants out there provide the best airflow? I get hot very easily so I've always just hiked in lightweight shorts/a bathing suit but I'm rescheduling my upcoming thru to be during the...

Damn Facebook...but it's such an easy way to stay in touch with old/distant friends! Count me in.

Yepp, finally got some long overdue rain today (all day). :) Hopefully it'll last a few more days like the weather people are promising.

I haven't had any problems with mine. Great poles!

If that picture isn't enough to get me to totally rethink my plans, I don't know what is. :) Good luck to you, man.

Thanks, all! I'll test some stuff out later this week.

What's a good pot for use with the MSR WhisperLite? I'd like something inside which I can pack my stove/windscreen/lighter/etc. when I toss it in my pack. I've been borrowing a friend's homemade pot...

I might be hiking very close to you! I'm all set for a SOBO of SNP myself, just waiting for my work schedule to clear up enough.

I'm on the trail in SNP way too often and I can't say I've had the...fortune...of bumping into that guy myself, haha. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Ahhh, I find that very comforting. :) I was starting to feel like a freak for carrying a few extra pounds.
