Windigo Supplies for Gas

Post by WalkingCrow »

Anyone know what gas is stocked at Windigo? I'm taking the plane over and was curious if they normally had MSR isoPro in stock.

thanks,

Contact the Rock Harbor Lodge to be sure. They also run the Windigo store.

The last time I was there they didn't have the MSR gas, but they did have large cans of Primus gas that worked with our Pocket Rocket stoves. If you contact them they'll let you know what they have, I've done so in the past and they were very detailed as to what they stock.

Thanks Dave and Ingo - I have a pocket rocket too, so good to hear there are some options.

I contacted them through the link Ingo posted and this was their response:

I called to reserve the fuel but the woman said they don't reserve fuel for backpackers and it isn't necessary since they have "a years" supply. She said they carry both the 4 and 8oz cans.
