hmm, From MSR faq
Liquid Fuel Stoves - If you can?t find white gas, you may use unleaded auto fuel in your white gas-only stove. It will, however, require frequent cleanings

VERY VERY MISTAKEN!!!
that shit burns dirty and nasty.
white gas can be purchased at most hardware and sporting good stores.
if you use gasoline, you'll have to do some serious cleaning to the stove, the lines as well as the pump itself.
white gas is just ultra pure fuel.

So say i buy the whitegas or kerosen (sp?) - ive only got a small fuel container... I wont be carrying excess fuel with me, or at least its unlikely - gasoline is measurable to the amounts i need. :s

wtf are you talking about?
you can fill the container with white gas just as easy as gasoline.
they can both be measured.
so what's the problem?
plus, a small can of that shit can boil 3 pots of water for weeks.

Ill be travelling for quite awhile, i would not want to carry an excess gas container in my small day pack. Ie. i wouldnt want to buy a gallon of white gas, and only be able to use a litre of it and leave the rest behind.

you can buy smaller containers for the gas.
in fact, your stove should have come with a small (red) container.
if the minimum amount you can buy is less than you need...oh well, sorry about your problem.

it depends.
there's the big gallon tins that the gas comes in, you pour that into the red tubes...those are refillable.
but I think you just buy big containers at a time.
though, the internationals are nice, I think they can run on a whole host of fuels...but, again, you want the white gas.

no, those red ones are fine.
they have a twist top shaped like a ring, right?
those are TOTALLY refillable.
I buy big cans of gas from REI and fill those red bottles as needed for trips.
those stoves are the shit.

Yes, technically, any unleaded high octane gasoline it considered "white gas". But as mentioned before, it can really clog up a stove - trust me, I know. Get the Coleman gas stove fuel and you'll have few problems....

dehydrated foods.
if you go to a Gart or REI, they'll have a ton of dehydes in the camping section.
mixing up bags and labels before cooking can make for a fun game of 'guess wtf we're eating!'

oh ya that's what I thought you meant. But I thought you were gonna say something like how to make your own. But I don't have no damn dehydrator. Those REI meals are damn expensive. Guess I can get a few..
