Optimus 111 Hiker Stove Swedish aggressive review, 111B 111T Ranger 10 Vintage camping gear

60's-70's Optimus 111 Swedish military surplus pressure stove. Tutorial on the operation of the old Optimus box stove series.

I've bought and used many of the newer high tech stoves that have comes along but always gone back to the old Optimus Box stoves. They are built sturdy, reliable and are fairly cheap to buy. I like vintage, old school gear anyway and have collected 4 of these old Optimus stoves. Good luck with finding one for a great ...
