Hi everyone. Been lurking here a while and decided to join up since many of you have valuable insights.
I'm looking at alcohol v. canister stoves and thinking/planning about haul weight and conveinince of each technology. The downside of alcohol is cold and fidget time and worries about spilling it all; downside of canisters is maybe higher haul weight and guessing how much is left in the can. From what I read and watch on the yootubes, a thru-hike, in some ways, is a long stretch of connected half week walks with road crossings and sometimes resupply.
So, how easy it is to get (SoBo) resupplies of the MSR-type canisters of fuel without going more than a 2-3 miles off the A. T.?
