[QUOTE="lever-hed, post: 776953, member: 11667"] +1 omni-fuel.. Ok, I’m going to put my 2c in, even though its late for this thread, but I was just using an OmniFuel stove made by Primus a few days ago in 35 deg.. This thing is a multi-fuel stove, can use butane/propane gas, or liquid fuel(white gas), or even diesel/petro and gasoline. It is a backpacking stove, is very light and compact. Some guys on here have said they have no problems using gas/butane fuel in cold conditions, but from what I’ve read the gas fuel has trouble burning efficiently when you get down into the 25 degrees area and colder. You would need to carry the gas canister near your body in super cold conditions and shake it prior to use. (I can’t attest to use in high alt though sorry). The gas canisters work best, you just make the connections open the valve and poof, your gtg.
