One of the first things that you will need to decide on when choosing a backcountry stove is the type of fuel that you will use. After you decide on the fuel that best fits your needs, you will then be able to decide on which stoves to research.
Canister fuels use blended, compressed gases such as butane, propane or isobutane. Note that butane does not work below 32*F, but performs very well in cold when mixed with propane. Isobutane works to about 25*F. Propane works to about 0*F.
I will compare the pros and cons of the most common fuels used for camping.

It has been said that there is power in numbers. In the case of the Professional Outdoor Media Association, the saying rings true. POMA is a proven leader in the outdoor industry, providing a family for those pursuing a career in the outdoor industry. Prostaffers Justin Morrissey, Chris Telinda and I had the pleasure of attending the 2010 POMA conference as guest students. Before departing at the end of the conference, the three of us said our goodbyes and kind of looked at each other in amazement. It finally hit us; we just had an exceptional weekend at the POMA conference, more so than any of us could have imagined prior to the event.

Shameless promotion of great products has never once bothered me. I will not hawk junk but I will not hesitate to push the products that I absolutely love.
SPOT Messengers are GPS Tracking Devices and these units are important to all hunters, backpackers, fishersmen, Paddlers, climbers, skiers and outfitters. They can show you a tracking history for where you have been and if you are in trouble they will allow you to send out messages to alert friends, family, and be rescued should you need that assistance.
This unit does everything it says it will and is a great tool giving you the peace of mind you and your family needs when you are in the outdoors.
Our Promotional Code for SPOT Messenger is HuntingLife23 and that provides you with a full year of tracking!!!

One of the items I love having in my gear bag in company my Mathews Z7 is my new Scott Archery release. I have used a release for many years now and can still remember to the day when I bought me my very first one. It was a Tru-Fire release that I used for years until recently sharing it with a youth who had just took an interest in shooting archery. He needed one and my old Tru-Fire still worked well even after all the shooting I had done with it.
Recently, I was able to use a Scott Archery release. I was surprised with my findings, it was top notch. I guess I should have expected nothing less from Scott Archery.
