    I own 3 stoves. All three burn Coleman fuel, aka white gas. 1 also burns kerosene and international gas canisters. Clever, hey?

    Why should the IAT "cater" to specific needs of thru-hikers? Figure out your problems and solutions with research and questions-not blaming the IAT for somehow not catering to thru-hikers.

    If you can't take the initiative to do your own, very basic, research perhaps you may want to stick to trail that is more of a connect-the-dots experience. The fact there are towns often along the way would tell most experienced backpackers all they need to know for initial planning.

    EDIT: Actually don't do the more well established trails either. Hiker entitlement is causing a lot of issues. They don't need more of that type of hiker anywhere.
    Once again, well said MAGS!!!
