Swiss M71 Stove w/Fuel
We didn’t start the fire… but you can
“Canned heat” for when you need it. A reusable and refillable Swiss M71 military stove for everyone from campers to backpackers, and military men. First employed and issued by the Swiss Army (Schweizer Armee in German, Armée suisse in French, Esercito svizzero, in Italian and finally *gasp* Armada svizra in Romansh) in the 70s, this two-piece combo became a beloved piece of kit in short order. Whether to cook your meals, light up your house (please don’t actually use this indoors) during a blackout, or get a hot cup of coffee on a woodlands trek, the M71 will withstand the elements and be there when you need it most. The gel can be lit as many times as needed, and once it runs out, the can is perfectly good to be refilled with any other form of lightable fluid/fuel that is suitable for storage and burning within it. The can and stove interlock, hold a tight seal, and with a size that will fight around the palm of an average hand, it is excellent to fit in a variety of options for compact transport. Swiss goods have always sought nothing short of excellence and ingenuity, and this item combo is no different.
