I have been told that you can only buy white gas (kerosene0 in the backcountry so we are not bringing our stoves that rely on butance cartrigdes and are looking a other stoves.

Did anyone see PowerMax fuel canisters in the backcountry commissaries in 2006? If so, where? I have been given three pieces of "definite advice". Definitely available in the backcountry, definitely not available - but probably at base camp, and definitely maybe - it depends on the day, phase of the moon etc.
 
I have seen the discussions on the pros and cons of the stoves and the canisters and our crew has elected to take the Exponent stoves. We plan on carrying enough fuel for the entire trek but availability in the backcountry will determine how much reserve fuel we should take.
