Optimus Svea Stove

Item #OPS0011 | 33 in Stock
5 Star Rating

31 years and counting...

By Ranked #63 - Liquid Fuel Stoves June 18, 2009

My Svea 123 is 31 years old. First backpacking stove I ever owned. Now I have 7 stoves (gulp!). Haven't used it in a decade except to fire it up to keep it in good shape. With the optional pump to prime it it's a great stove. ULTRA reliable.

Can't belive it's so peicey now. I must have paid $30. for it in '78. I still have my much-used companion SIGG TOURIST cookset that was made for the SVEA 123. Brings back old memories.
