Yep for some reason the 5 lbs tanks cost about 50% more than a 11 lb one even though they hold half as much. Must be that Common Core math?I carry a 5 lb for my skottle and i can run it for days. 10 day trip and it never ran out. $3 to fill which beats the hell out of the price for the little green ones. Expensive though. Like $70

Yeah, I have a 5# and a 10# (and the 20#) and the 5# is really all I've ever needed on a trip of any length. I bring along a couple of the 1# just in case and for lanterns, torches and such...I carry a 5 lb for my skottle and i can run it for days. 10 day trip and it never ran out. $3 to fill which beats the hell out of the price for the little green ones.

well, who woulda thought... I did not know those refillable ones exist. I'm surprised REI of all places would have them. But good to know.
Not that I would do that, of course, but I've seen the nominally disposable ones bulging quite a bit after a refill or 2 - they do seem to come in various levels of sturdiness. Needless to say, it is better to do any transfers or refills way outside...
