i'm going camping for 6 days and just bought the whisperlite stove. I have a tank of about 800ml and will be using white gas. I will try to use it for 2 meals a day. Is that enough fuel or should I bring more?

Are you going to melt snow (it being winter and all)? If your are I would bring a 30oz fuel bottle. If not, then the 20oz will work. If your worried about running out of fuel I would caution you to not use too much when priming. This is where the fuel gets used up. You can use fuel paste to prime if needed which will save you some fuel. I would also caution you to only fire up the stove when everything is ready to start cooking or boiling. In other words, I would have the water in the pot, the packages of food opened, and all the utensils ready to use before lighting the stove up. Conserving the fuel this way will allow it to go a long way.
