Hey folks!

I'm heading "south" from Colorado next week. Vague, yes, because I don't know where I'm going yet. Hoping for another country.

I've used an iso/propane canister stove on past tours. Unsure of canister availability in other countries. And I was hoping to lighten up and got a penny/Heiniken can stove ready to go. Works fine in my tests. Cooking is usually boiling then simmering something, 1-2 meals per day.

Not sure how available alcohol is in foreign countries, either. Not sure if it's appropriate for a month of riding. Past aim has been for 4-7 days between "civilization" re-supply stops. And read in Scott M's review that he wouldn't want to use a penny stove for longer tours.

It's also possible that I'll end up somewhere that has such tasty local food that cooking for myself will be dumb anyway. So having a nice light stove to carry-but-not-use appeals.

Any thoughts?
