Cairn Backcountry Trailhead Pocket Stove

CRN-CMP-003 · In stock $59

Late-October ridgelines in the Cascades where the weather turns three times between the trailhead and the summit, or a quick bikepacking overnight where every gram counts – sometimes you just need hot water, fast. That's exactly where the Cairn Backcountry Trailhead Pocket Stove earns its spot in your kit. Engineered from durable stainless steel and aluminum, this ultralight canister stove practically disappears into your pack, weighing a mere 82 grams and folding down to a compact 4 x 5 x 8 cm. Don't let its minimalist design fool you; its 8200 BTU output can bring a liter of water to a rolling boil in a swift 3.5 minutes. The precision flame control valve allows for fine-tuning, whether you're simmering a quick meal or just making coffee, while the serrated pot supports provide steadfast stability for various pot sizes. It's the dependable, no-fuss heat source for any quick backcountry stop, essential day hike, or even as a crucial component of your emergency kit.
