    I'm just checking in. It's been a long while since I've posted. Sorry guys. I forgot how fun it is to play with camp stoves.

    It might be a long while before I post again.

    I pulled out a bunch of my boxed stoves and marveled once again at the engineering and energy these devices produce. Some of these stoves are posted in the gallery while some are not. I took a few pics for you to see what I'm seeing in person.

    Talk to you again later.

    Enjoy!

    Sam

    @idahostoveguy , Good Morning, Dear Friend!

    Sam, it's wonderful to hear from you again, and I hope all is well with you, your lovely wife, and family!! I've very much missed seeing you here at CCS, and what a treat to see this post today!!! Thanks for checking-in, and for the wonderful "eye candy" you have shared with us in this post!! Tons of "Old Friends" on that great selection of stoves you showed and it felt good to see them all gathered together in one place!! Well done!

    Please pass along our very best regards to your sweetie, and May God Bless you all, in whatever you choose to do!! Please stop in again, when time permits!

    Every Good Wish,
    Doc

    Sam,
    It is really great to see a post from you.
    Yours is a full life with it's challenges beyond CCS. You were/are missed and there was an update a year ago: full "life" lacks the opportunity to post regularly as you have in past (given that, I've not tagged you).
    I may have tagged you once since but I do make mention giving "Sam" credit where credit is due.
    You have contributed mightlily to-date and, for me, a few topics I am certain I will continue to credit you (ie safety, 550s, XGKs, 2 burner US Primus, US suitcases and on and on) .
    That is all well and good but I'd be remiss not to compliment your family life be it camping with the boys or hike with your Dad and the boys.

    re your [might be a long while] ">Talk to you again later. >Enjoy!"
    > Gives us something to look forward to. > Enjoy... I'll try, and you too!
    Sure it's just a hobby but it shines through, you're a good man, our interactions are an honor and a pleasure. Thank you.
    all the best to you and yours, mark

    sampling link link link link [no link to old suitcase "crowd", a full shelf, as I recall it ].
    In meanwhile site membership evolves (not best word), your informative posts will continue to give a boost to the hobby as CCS rolls on.
