Cooking up something warm is an instant game-changer – especially when trekking through brutally cold conditions or pitched up on a blowy hilltop. But traditional stoves aren’t great at reliably heating a meal or boiling brew in the moments you need it most. Which is where the Primus Ulti Stove System can’t be beaten. Designed by the same brand that kept Amundsen fueled when he became the first person to reach the South Pole in 1911, this ultra-reliable portable cooking machine is flame-free and windproof, delivers consistent heat output in the harshest conditions and comes with a secure and easy-to-pack-away pot that connects to the stove. For even more versatility, it also features a canister hose system that allows you to flip your gas bottle upside down in the coldest conditions – such as those Hillary and Norgay had to contend with on the first successful Everest expedition back in 1953. For which Primus also supplied the stoves, by the way. It’s a camping stove you can truly rely on, and you’ll be glad you packed it on those bigger adventures in less-than-comfortable conditions.

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.
