[at-l] Fuel tab resupply?

[PMAnderson@apshealthcare.com (PMAnderson@apshealthcare.com)]

you can find the esbit tabs in many spots, but one of the nice things about
them is that you can send the esbit tabs in maildrops.  so, in towns w/o an
outfitter who carries them, you can simply send a small envelope pack to
yourself... you can even do so from another town on the trail - send them
ahead.

the companion will help you id towns w/ outfitters and you can call to see
if they plan to stock esbits, and ask how much they will stock - so you can
see if they will run out before you get there.

cheerio

Yesterday I was down at the Post Office weighing some items
of gear (my glasses weigh .4 oz) and when I put my well-worn
Whisperlite on the scale I was strongly tempted to pitch the
thing.

Can I expect to be able to buy fuel tablets in trail towns
a couple times a month while thru-hiking? Or are these
less common than Coleman fuel?
