Maybe in the third world it is different, but gas cooking is common in most places.! I carry two cannisters, a full one does three weeks. so I have one on the burner and a spare. so always have three weeks to find a replacement. On a trip around Europe with my Omnifuel, it was so much hassle I never bothered to fire it up for a brew up the entire trip. so missed my lunchtime brew up. It seems to me there is unreasoning hysteria about carrying a spare cannister. Really they are no bother at all, being smaller than the petrol burners fuel bottle. But even that isn't the real problem, because I don’t bother with the petrol burner when I do trips by car and then a spare 10 litres for the stove would be easy. It is just that petrol stoves are a lot more bother and so much slower to deploy. Compared to gas not nice to use.
