Goon:

I love backpacking and want to make sure you've discovered lightweight backpacking and hammocks and tarps. Things everyone should try, in my opinion.

And to keep on topic, I use an alcohol stove for bakcpacking (mostly Trangia, but lots of home made stoves, too) and I like to light those by throwing a spark from my BSA Hot Spark into the alcohol. Lots easier than using a lighter upside-down.
