Another consideration is fire safety. In the American Southwest (including California) fire restrictions are frequently in effect. Often the last type of stove allowed would be a canister system. I have seen conditions where I would not even light one of those, going instead for cold meals. At that point, in my opinion, it is best to not be in the woods at all.

On the first days of autumn, it has finally warmed up here in SoCal, and Santa Ana winds are in the forecast.

HYOH and peace.
