Re: [Philmont]: Dummies and Stove Fuel

Great stuff on stoves and fuels.

I've taken several treks at Philmont and have carried my trusty old Whisperlites every time.
Like Mr. Moss before leaving the hose I strip them, give them a thurough cleaning and, replace all the seals.
I also make sure the fuel bottles are as clean as I can get them.
I also make sure the filter is clean and felt replace if needed.

My stoves have never let me down.
I always filter the fuel. If a stove sputters it's time to filter the fuel again.
I purchased enough pumps that I have no caps on the fuel bottles - just pumps.
It's simple and effective.
