Pocket-sized backpacking stove
When it comes to backpacking, light is always right. Saving as much weight as possible across all your kit means less on your back, helping you to go faster and further. The problem is that a lot of ultralight gear often feels delicate and flimsy. Primus’s Micron III stove is different. Small but mighty, this compact stove has folding pot supports to ensure it fits into any pocket or pack, without sacrificing Primus’ renowned build quality. The wind resistant design provides a power output of 2600W, which can boil a litre of water in three and a half minutes. Meanwhile, a built-in regulator valve ensures a consistent flame as your gas canister empties, plus reliability in all weathers.

In Latin, the word ‘primus’ means ‘first’. And this Swedish brand has been about firsts ever since its humble beginnings in Stockholm back in 1892, when founders F.W. Lindqvist and J.V. Svenson developed the world’s first soot-free kerosene stove. Portable Primus stoves were cleaner, easier to use and more efficient than anything else then in existence. They were soon adopted by explorers and adventurers across the globe. When Amundsen became the first person to reach the South Pole in 1911, he had a Primus stove with him. So too did the 1953 British Mount Everest Expedition, when Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary became the first people to reach the summit of the world’s highest peak.
Since those ground-breaking firsts, Primus’ range has expanded to encompass a range of outdoor cooking equipment. Of course, portable stoves built for backpackers, campers and climbers are still the brand’s core focus. Designed to withstand extreme conditions, Primus stoves have an enviable reputation for long-lasting reliability and real-world efficiency. So, if you’re looking to achieve your own firsts, whether that’s walking your first long-distance trail or going on your first wild camping adventure, Primus should be your first choice.
