Exactly what I did after waking up one fine morning in the Eastern Sierra's without any propane to make coffee. AND I MUST HAVE MY COFFEEEEEEE!!!!! We packed up and I drove us two grouchy campers to the nearest cafe in Lone Pine. Good news is that it was less than 2 miles away. Ever since then, I have packed a 1 burner portable stove and a bottle of propane for backup. Later, I added a camp light and another bottle of propane so I could cook outside and have some light.
