  • Looks like my butane stove will in fact not work at altitude. Will try to find an alternative in that case, but may just sack it off entirely. 'Butane does not operate well at higher altitudes and is no longer liquid below (28 – 32 degrees Fahrenheit)' Oops...

    I don't know if the same holds true for altitude, but a butane/propane mix works better in cold temperatures than just butane.

  • My stove is butane only. If I get to my destination and realize it doesn’t work where I’m camping, I’ll go to REI and get something propane instead.

    @kurai - hadn’t seen those. Thanks. Worth considering. No water filter, the biggest hike I’ll be doing is I think about 6 hours at a very casual pace. It’s gonna be cold so I won’t be drinking gallons of water. My bladder is 2.5L and I’ll be carrying a Nalgene with me too just in case. I’ll have many liters of water with me in my car :-)

  • Can't remember which size we have, but they don't really weigh much. We took one for TMB, as my partner has an affinity with the ground and will usually end up on it once or twice a trip.

    Fair enough re:water filters.

    Just get a propane/butane mix and it'll work at what ever altitude and temp you can physically get it too.
