A look at the funky looking swiss ranger solid fuel stove. It is military quality (and weight). Coming in at 14 oz for a windshield, canteen and 2 cup aluminum cup for about $10, this little unit is a cheap way to get into backpacking.
It isn’t slow, it isn’t fast. It isn’t light and it isn’t heavy. It is cheap. All in all, it is a middle of the line entry level stove to start you off hiking.
Take a look at the demo video below and if you want to buy one, try Cheaper than dirt. Wish I made a commission selling it 🙂
