Topband: Soldering in the wild!

I use a soldering iron tip with a regular propane torch. The tip 
attaches to just about any torch with a setscrew. Slip it over the 
end of the torch, tighten setscrew. I haven't looked for them 
recently. I bought this at a local hardware store 30 years ago for 
about $2 I think. It gets hot enough to solder #12 copperweld at 100 
feet above ground with an air temperature of zero and moderate 
breeze. I could have been content never having acquired that 
particular bit of knowledge. ;-)
