I'm going to be tenting in single digit temps Friday night and would like to boil water with my MSR pocket rocket stove; the only stove I have. It's not critical to have hot food but would surely be nice. I realize this stove is not ideal in cold temps even though the canister says "all season...

I'm planning a backpack from Katahdin back to my house in New Hampshire along the AT in July and August. The more I read about the AT through the Whites the more I want to avoid it in summer - too many people and potential for not finding a place to stay at night. I stayed at Guyot shelter...
