Well, I've got some in a sealed container that's at least 10 yrs old,
probably older, and it fires up just fine in my 70's era coleman campstove
with the old pump on it. :-) It might be a little degraded, but man, it'll
just take an extra minute or so to bring that water to boil. :-)

Always be yourself, because the people that matter don't mind,
and the ones who mind, don't matter.
