Hi all-
I am in the market for a new backpacking stove. Will be strictly used for boiling water for coffee in the morning and for those dehydrated meals at night. There will be four of us in camp this year and I estimate I will need to boil about 4 quarts per day.
We typically hunt elk off our backs and weight is a key factor, but since we'll be so far in, I don't want to walk back to the truck for gas every few days. Kind of defeats the purpose. Everywhere I look, I can't find fuel consumption statistics for these new backpacking stoves. I was wondering if anyone hunts like this and what their stove reccomendations are. Also, how much fuel is typically needed for a 8 day hunt. I was planning on packing Coleman fuel in those MSR canisters.
Thanks
