How much propane do I need?
I'm going on a 2-week road trip around the Southwest. I see there's one full propane canister included in some of the Basecamp Outdoor Gear rental packages. Do I need to purchase more or will the 1 cylinder last me the entire time?

The amount of time camp fuel will last depends on a LOT of external factors: How powerful is your stove, is it windy, what's the air temperature, what's the elevation, what are you cooking? So we can't answer this question because it will change from use to use.
But we can say that on average, 2 people cooking breakfast and dinner on 2-burner stoves usually go through the 1lb canister in 3-4 days. So you'll need more for your 2-week trip.
HOWEVER, standard 1lb propane canisters are EVERYWHERE in the southwest. You'll find them easily in grocery stores, gas stations, even some souvenir shops. So you don't need to purchase extra from us.
PLUS, we have a pay-it-forward area with extra camp fuel that others have left for you at the end of their trips.
Does that make sense? Any questions about it?
