This is a HEAVY tent for a thru.

You can carry a smaller fuel bottle. The 22 oz bottle will last 5-6 days all
by itself and you have two days supply in the Peak. MSR Dragon fly is 5 oz
lighter and will simmer just as well or better than the Peak.

DO NOT use a dampened cloth to pick up a hot pot. Use it dry and folded up
several times. Dampening it will turn a small blister into a huge scald.

Not the big one I hope...
