Solo Stove Portable Camping Stove

Cozy up to the fire just about anywhere thanks to this low-smoke, portable, efficient and durable camping stove.

This No. 1 bestselling wood-burning camp stove has been recommended by Backpacker Magazine and serious survivalists including Discovery Channel’s very own Matt Graham, so you know it’s truly up to snuff! Solo Stoves burn wood cleanly and efficiently, allowing you to find fuel wherever your journeys take you.

One adventurer called it a “perfect little brother to the Bonfire,” noting that it’s great “for short trips and my quick freshly brewed cup of coffee/tea or cocoa…The campfire is certainly sturdy enough to use pots and pans for meals and the open flames are great for grilling.”

You use this like any other straw. Simply remove the cap, place one end into water you come across in nature, and suck. The hollow fibers inside the straw trap pathogens, so the only thing that touches your lips is clean, safe, drinkable water. It’s a must-have for your next long hike or camping trip; at just two ounces, it won’t weigh down your pack.

Said one combat vet: “I’ve used these both in Iraq and Afghanistan. Works as advertised. Extremely reliable and genuinely safe-to-use filtration system.”
