Is there any place to buy a fuel canister other than REI near the trail on the way out of Pittsburgh? I would like to get an early start and don't want to wait until REI opens at 10 o'clock.

There is a Dick's Sporting Goods store in Homestead, PA about 9 miles from downtown Pittsburgh that opens at 9:00 am. There is a Lowes in that same shopping complex that opens earlier but I don't that they carry the camping-type gas canisters.

You already mentioned the REI about 3 miles from downtown.

If you really want a daybreak start, I could bring you one or more as I live near the trail and am up early in the morning.

Thanks for the offer Rivnuts but I don't need to leave too early. Dicks in Homestead seems like a good option. That should work out just about right. Thanks for the info.

If you take a bic lighter, you can make a fire anywhere you camp.
