Re: backpack stoves
I use a jetboil with msr fuel. With a fresh can of gas I’m sure it will boil two cups in under a minute and way faster than 7 minutes on the last boil the fuel can has in it. I don’t think I’ve ever used more than a small can on a trip.
The one thing I find a pain is having th half full cans around. I tend to just bring a full one with me and the partial cans never get used up. I know there’s a tool out there for filling them, but I haven’t got around to buying one and realistically a medium can is like $7 so it’s really not a huge cost for a trip. Sometimes the biggest pain is finding them to buy, because nobody wants to ship them.
