What kinds of things does a guide carry in their pack? How about stoves? There are tons of choices for stoves these days and you could spend up to two hundred dollars on an expedition type stove if you wanted. The choices come down to liquid fuel (white gas) or canned fuel (butane/propane/isopropane) Both have their advantages and disadvantages. If you have a large group of people and will be cooking for up to four or five, for the weight and efficiency I think its tough to beat a liquid gas stove. Check out the MSR website for the better choices. The Dragonfly is a noisy little stove but it simmers well and is practically indestructible. If you are winter camping or climbing high altitude the liquid stoves are also a better choice for melting snow and cold weather. If your traveling overseas check out the multifuel stoves. With these you can burn almost any liquid petroleum based fuel. Including jet fuel! Cool! Stick around for tomorrows chat about canned gas stoves.
