Really depends on how many people you're cooking for and what you make. Go for the big bottle, it's better to have leftover than to run out.------------------I typically take the 22oz size. This seems to do for a week long trip for 2 people. The key is conservation. Only use the stove when boiling water and be careful while priming. Most of the fuel is used during this process. I would practice getting it down before heading out. One secret to conserving fuel is priming with denatured alcohol or fuel gel. However, I agree with Angus, that when in doubt, bring extra.
