Fuel At Windigo
I will be arriving in Windigo on July 7th via the Seaplane. How can I guarantee that the store will have my Butane/Propane canisters that I need for my stove?

Melissa,
Call the lodge/concessionaire, they should be able to tell you what is available at Windigo.

Re: Fuel At Windigo
I don't think there are any "guarantees". The only fuel they are almost certain to have is white gas (Coleman fuel).

Re: Fuel At Windigo
I've found the Windigo and Rock Harbor stores well stocked with the 'MSR style' canisters. In mid-summer that shouldn't be a problem. However, I'd still call the concession stand. If by chance they are out, I have a secret to share: people turn in partially used canisters on both ends of the island before getting on the float plane. There will be a stack of them somewhere. Ask about them if the store is out. The Rock Harbor store gave me a couple of them when I was 'marooned' there for a few days due to a gale in 2009.
