User Review: Optimus 8r

Reviewed November 2, 2006 by an anonymous hiker

Price Paid: $10

I bought one when I was an Airborne Infantry officer. I carried it many miles--used it many times and it never failed.

It burned Army gas. One trick that I used was to carry a small spoon with half the handle cut off. I poured a little gas into the burner and lighted it to get the stove a little kick start--as you know, the stove has no pump.

One more thing. I have melted lead with it.
