Not just for backpacking.

It's great for car camping when cooking a can of beans/chili over a fire. Normal spoons dont seem to reach quite far enough to keep your fingers from getting in the food while stirring. It's also really strong, you can get some good leverage for stirring the stiff cold stuff in the cans.
If there was a silicone coated version, I'd get it for cooking on nonstick cookware. I was lucky enough to have found this on SAC so I got a couple extra for the gf and a friend.
