1 small jetboil fuel canister was just enough for 4 nights of dinners/drinks and breakfasts for two people. Michael was not boiling water in the a.m. Did not have to melt snow for water.
Was able to carry only 1 liter of water while hiking the entire way. Plenty of streams for getting water along the way.
