>>246197>But I also heard that alcohol stoves tend to be very wind-sensitive and their power output is quite low compared to a gas stove. Can anyone verify any of that?Yes, you are correct alcohol stoves do not put out as much heat as gas stoves and do have issues when it is windy. This is easily fixed with some practice using a windscreen. Alcohol stoves are cheaper and fuel for them will be easier to come by along the trail.

Seriously though, don't become obsessed with painstakingly planning every detail of your thru hike. Half the fun will be all the challenges along the way, let some things just happen as they will.
> Is a base weight of 9kg (20 pounds) light enough?That will be pretty good to start with, but you'll probably have a completely different set up by the time you finish. You'll probably dump a ton of extra weight after just a few days.
