Our experience with the back country "trading posts" was spotty. White Gas
is a certainty, stock on the shelves is another thing entirely. For what
its worth we carried three 11oz cylinders in '04 topping off once on day 5
and hit base camp with gas to spare. Also we made a point of buying gas on
our way into Philmont, expecting PSR to be charging a premium ... they
weren't really , it was something like .04 an oz.

Subject: [Philmont]: Stove fuel?
We were wondering what fuel types are available at the TOTT store and at
the back country stores and/or staff camps. One of our members just bought
a pocket rocket that only uses the MSR fuel cylinders. I told him that
though the idea was great in regards to stove weight, he would need to carry
probably several cylinders with him over the ten day period. He's thinking
you can purchase the fuel at the trading posts in the backcountry, but I
don't remember seeing that as an option in 2004. Any input?
