Another consideration is how many days on the trail will you spend before restocking? Will you spend the entire two weeks on the trail or are you planning to 'stop into town' for supplies?

The answers to these questions will dictate how much fuel you need to carry.

If you carry a liquid fuel stove you can take your stove kit and as many fuel bottles with you as you think you'll need. The empty fuel bottles are very light, but do take up space in your pack.

I was on the trail for almost two weeks at the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. My crew of 13 people carried two stoves and two fuel bottles. We probably could have done with a single stove, but we did need two boittles of fuel. I purchased a fuel fill-up half way through the trip.

Good luck with your choice. I know there are many types of stoves (and cooksets) to consider!
