SAC deal - Primus Multi-Fuel Stove

[boardman]

Half off the regular price at $55. Don't own one myself (I have an MSR), but I know folks who own Primus stoves and really like 'em.

I have one and use it ALLOT !

Its great. I have only used white gas with it, (MSR superfuel) but as others have said in the past, the BTU/Weight ratio is good.

In the cold, you will need a white gas stove. Isobutane = slow boil when its very cold. Although I ususally bring both.

All gone...
now they have "Black Diamond Polar Star Headlamp"(belt pouch to keep batts warm) for $12.50

That deal has passed... now it's a headlamp

I use a Brunton Nova Optimus for a lot of my winter cooking. I like it's variable setting AND that it's a multifuel rig. Short hauls and misc I use a Jetboil courtesy of Jetboil who are my clients.

Right now, I'm holding out for MSR Reactor camp stove to be available. I product tested this rig last spring and was blown away! I thought I wrote a GR on it but cannot seem to find it. Anyways, it's due to be released this month to the public for $139.95. It's not cheap but it's quite the stove.

It'll boil water faster than any known stove plus you can even simmer! It's very lightweight and super efficient and it's compacts into itself for portablility like the Jetboil. Similar concept as the Jetboil but taken farther.... sooooo much farther!

Damn, that went FAST!

8's - any idea on market eta for this one? I've been having trouble with my 10 yo dragonfly - took a look at the primus when boardman posted it, hesitated and didn't get one. I'm a big fan of MSR stoves and don't wanna invest in a new one just to find out the better one came out a couple weeks later. So if you can find your gear review and/or advise of approx eta I'd be much obliged.:)
