Is there a way to find out which trail towns you can get MSR canister fuel
in? My wife works for UPS, and it can be shipped ground, but it'd be
cheaper to buy local. At 3 oz. for the Pocket Rocket, and 12 oz. for a
canister that lasts most of a week, that method is not only simpler and
easier, it can be lighter, especially since I suck at estimating the
alcohol needed, and I also end up spilling some.
