Primus Classic Trail Gas Stove
Description
Primus Classic Trail Stove
A single-burner camp stove that screws straight onto a small propane or butane canister, no hose, no pump, no setup beyond a twist and a light.
Simple by Design, Since the 1980s
Primus has been making outdoor cooking gear in Sweden since 1892, and the Classic Trail Stove has held a spot in their lineup since the early 1980s. Its appeal hasn't changed in that time: no folding legs to snap, no fragile igniter to fail, just a stainless steel burner that starts the same way every trip. It's a stove people keep for a decade and hand down rather than replace.
Built to Take a Beating
The burner is stainless steel with a 10,000 BTU output and a wide flame suited to bigger pots, enough to cook for one to three people at once. Four static pot supports hold the cookware steady and double as a built-in windscreen, so there's nothing extra to attach or lose. At 8 ounces and 4.9 x 4.9 x 3.2 inches, it packs down small enough to disappear into a stuff sack alongside a fuel can and a lighter. It ships in a nylon carry bag.
Out in the World
Reviewers consistently point to the same thing: this stove is inexpensive and it just works. Backpackers use it as their main burner for weekend trips; others keep it in the truck for car camping or stashed on a boat as a compact galley stove. A few owners add a set of aftermarket canister feet for extra stability on uneven ground. One thing worth knowing before you buy: Primus specifically advises against pairing this stove with an aftermarket windscreen, since trapped heat can overheat the canister, so it performs best in a sheltered spot rather than out on an exposed ridge. At around $20 to $25, it's hard to find a backpacking stove this reliable for less.

Curious About Sizing?
Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.
Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.
Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.
Jacket & Shirt Sizing
In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.
To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit.
This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:
14"-15" PtP = XXS
16-17" PtP = Extra Small
18"-19" PtP = Small
20-21" PtP = Medium
22-23" PtP = Large
24-25" PtP = Extra Large
26-27" PtP = XXL
28-29" PtP = 3XL
Pant Sizing
We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.
To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.
To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
