[at-l] Re: New on the list thread comments

I haven't yet tried to obtain Alcohol while on the AT but 
I expect finding Alcohol on the AT would be as easy or easier than
finding white gas on the AT. Denatured is available where ever paint is
sold. Dry gas is available in many stores and gas stations but one must
read the label since not all are 100% Alcohol. Everclear ... Well, if
the Bar or liquor store carries it you have found stove fuel. And you
can keep alcohol in your bounce box which you can't do with white gas
(as long as your package is properly prepared following postal regs).

What problems have people shared with using alcohol stoves in winter? I
have placed my stove and fuel in the freezer overnight then pulled it
out and light it with a lighter. I needed to use a little more preheat
fuel but I have to do the same with my wisperlight. I have used my stove
in the upper 30s without problem.
