Ive heard getting white gas is not a problem. What about propane tanks for stoves (a propane tank for a blow torch would also do)?
C) I was planning a camping trip to Paine, but I can’t sure what kind of gas cartridges is available in Puerto Natales. A stove would be a great idea, you’ll want one. I’d suggest a white gas (bencina blanca) stove as it is available in many places (try pharmacies if nowhere else seems to have it). I bet you can get propane tanks but can’t back up my claim, I never looked for them! The camping gas (like Bluet or Gaz) containers I have heard are nearly impossible to get. Note that international law forbids taking them in your airline baggage. Update: I just heard from Jim Curl about buying gas cartridges and other equipment in Punta Arenas: “One thing I didn’t learn in advance of my trip was whether or not propane/butane stove canisters would be available. I went prepared with an MSR as well as a screw on Gaz type stove. While I was unable to find these types of Gaz canisters, I did find the screw on propane/butane canisters that fit other types of stoves such as Primus, MSR, GigaPower,
