Re[2]: [at-l] Pack this...

     You're right, Redhead: It DOESN'T matter how you carry your fuel. The 
     Peak1 is definitely heavier than the MSR, but the MSR doesn't carry 
     ANY fuel, as does the Peak1. Count the total carry weight, with 
     required fuel. My SVEA 123R weighs one ounce more than a Whisperlight, 
     but carries 1-2 days' fuel......And takes no set-up time, and doesn't 
     leak. Your Peak1 weighs more, sure, but probably carries 2-3 days 
     fuel, if memory serves.

It doesn't matter what you carry your fuel in, the fuel bottle doesn't attach 
to the stove.  I know this, because this is one of my "two luxuries" I am 
taking on my hike next year.  I love my stove. (well, I'm buying a new one, 
mine is old.  But still . . .) MSR's are lighter, true.  That's why I'm 
calling this a "luxury" <g>  But I'm still starting at Springer with it. Maybe 
I'll change my mind before then.  But maybe not.  Depends on how light I can 
get my pack.  By the way - does anyone have the Marmot Pinnacle?  If so, any 
comments?

 Can you mix MSR gear with Peak1? Anyway the 11 oz bottle will do. 3-8 for 
 stove/fuel is heavy - a MSR is 14 oz.
