RE: [Philmont]: RE: Batteries and Jet Boils

we used MSR Dragonflys. Took two and used 3-4 bottles of fuel over the
course of the trek. the dragonflys have a stable base for pots. For groups
it's nice because the broad base means that there may be less chance of
knocking the pot over and creating 1. less food and 2. smellables. We
cleaned and then shipped the stoves and bottles to Philmont and then cleaned
them and shipped them back with preprinted and prepaid lables at the
Philmont post office. It was very easy.

Once again I seem to be off normal. Welcome to my life!!! We have used
white gas stoves since the beginning with great results. Don't know all the
stuff about weight. Do know we can get fuel at any commissary. Yes, I know
that the fuel can be contaminated, just never have had that problem. Maybe
we're due? My personal stove is a Peak Feather 400. The only repairs I
have made is to replace the pump seal last year before Philmont. 10 years
of great service. I also carry a medium size fuel bottle. The boys have
had no real problem operating these stoves.
