Stoves on the PCT

imported
#1

I have this pocket rocket stove that I used on the AT. It worked just fine for me and I’m hoping to use it again on the PCT. Does anyone know if fuel for this is easy to get in trail towns?
Thanks a ton.

I used alcohol, as did most others, but I suppose you could get it at the following places which had outfittrs: Idyllwild, Big Bear Lake, Agua Dulce, Bishop, Mammoth, Tahoe, maybe Truckee, Shasta City, Ashland, maybe Sisters, Cascade Locks (Portland).

Threse are the places I remember there being outfitters at. You are some gaping section though where it could be problematic. To the best of my knowledge the trail angels only stock denatured alki.

Thanks!!

Sounds like alcohol is the way to go. I’ll have to think about converting.
