[philmont] Coleman Powermax Fuel availability in the backcountry

We've typically taken all we need for the entire trek. Last time, 2006,
we took 7 and used 5.5. I don't remember looking for canisters in the
backcountry.

Subject: [philmont] Coleman Powermax Fuel availability in the
backcountry

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.
