When it comes to backpacking, lighter is almost always better. Saving as much weight as possible across all your kit means a lighter load 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’ Firestick Stove is different – it’s a streamlined and ultra-packable screw-in gas stove with an included storage pouch and Piezo igniter. But it’s also robust, with cleverly-designed, sturdy pot supports that fold up to encase and protect the burner head when packed away. Despite its modest size, the 2500W burner can boil a litre of water in four and a half minutes, and this stove also has great simmer control for gourmet camp cooking (so you can knock up more than just noodles). And if you’re a truly dedicated ultralighter, go for the titanium (Ti) version
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.
