Gas availability abroad

The lack of Coleman and MSR Gas in France has been the subject of many previous discussions, screw top canisters are getting more and more difficult to find. Easy to find are the Camping Gaz push on and the always available 190gm puncture-style cartridge. To use these cartridges with screw on stoves you will need an adaptor. Edelrid formally Markhill do 2 different adapters to use with screw fitted stoves. The Cartridge adapter, takes the puncture-style 190 gram cartridges and is much smaller and lighter than the Karrimor equivalent. Also Edelrid do an adapter to allow the use of Camping Gaz sealable canisters on screw threaded stoves. If using a gas stove other than a Camping Gaz, either or both adapters would be a sensible choice to take on a tour abroad.

Both of these can be obtained by mail order from Ultralight Outdoor Gear  http://www.ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/home.html   post free.
