Most of us look at your posts as spam. You might find more love over in the back pack hunting section.
I certainly don't regard Jim's posts as spam. The BP forum probably is a more appropriate venue though. He's not selling anything and as far as I see, he has a noncommercial blog about bp cooking. I'll have to go check it again. Jim - you have some interesting threads and good info (not all of which I agree with)  but I for one, am glad you are here. Carry on. What 'bender said. Jim, just ignore Mannlicher.....he's an obnoxious douche, and certainly doesn't speak for "most of us", as he presumes. Sure, the Backpacking forum is probably a better venue for this, but it's good info, nonetheless. Thanks. Jeff Hey Jeff- Hope you're keeping warm!  Sam's OK, IMO. I'm looking forward to my curmudgeon years!

Hey Mike, Barely keeping warm! Cold snaps make me grumpy! I just hope Hikin Jim comes up with a 100% propane fired Crock-Pot for backpackers, and a selection of recipes featuring Lipton Onion Soup Mix, and cream of mushroom soup! That should really bring out the best in Sam! Jeff

Since I seldom if ever visit the BP forum and I do cook, I am glad to learn something anywhere it appears.
I have the option to open or read a post so am seldom bothered even if they might be off topic.
Course that is just me.

Hi, guys, Thanks for a few "dissenting opinions." Glad I didn't pack my bags too soon. No propane crock pots, but I am working on a gas stove that should work down to -45F. Prototype photo below. This is a world preview on the open internet. You saw it here on 24 Hour Campfire first. ![[Linked Image]](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-RkRD1zTbul0/TxJeihNVkuI/AAAAAAAACcg/ibKP1HBnQns/s800/P1090630.JPG) HJ

Yes. I'm still testing this, so I'm not recommending it at this point. All of my tests so far have been successful, but one has to be careful with MAPP. MAPP has a lot higher pressure than the standard backpacking type gas canister. The advantage of MAPP is that it vaporizes down to -54F, which in practical terms means they'd be usable to about -45F. Standard backpacking canisters are good down to +20F (with a 80/20 isobutane/propane mix). In other words, MAPP gas can be used in temperatures some 65 Fahrenheit degrees lower than standard backpacking canisters. MAPP canisters are heavy, and MAPP is generally more expensive than regular gas, but gas stoves are more mechanically reliable in extreme cold than white gasoline/kerosene stoves, and gas stoves don't require priming. Not having to prime could be a real life saver if you were tent-bound due to weather. I doubt this would be something the average outdoorsman would want, but for those who brave extreme cold, it might be of interest. Definitely a specialized item. HJ
