Meet the Backpacker
The 9.2 oz ultralight stove built to cook for the whole camp.
A complete integrated cooking system with a 1.2 L pot, bowl, strainer lid, and pot supports.
- 9.2 oz complete system
- 1.2 L pot cooks for 2–3
- Boils 500 mL in about 2.5 minutes
Why it's different
Light enough to carry. Big enough to share.
At just 9.2 oz, the Backpacker includes a real 1.2 L pot that is large enough to cook meals for two or even three people without weighing down your pack.
A 1.2 L pot holds about 5 cups, enough for one-pot pasta, soup, or oatmeal for two or three people, not just boiling water.
The included strainer lid, pot supports, bowl, and microfiber cleaning towel make it easy to boil, cook, strain, and clean without buying extra accessories.
The burner, pot supports, microfiber cleaning towel, and either a 100 g or 230 g fuel canister nest neatly inside the pot for a quiet, space-saving setup.

Built by an engineer. Inspired by the trail.
Founder John Peretti spent years engineering award-winning integrated backpacking stove systems before starting Coastal Range Equipment. Along the way, he listened to backpackers, hunters, paddlers, pilots, guides, Scout leaders, and outdoor retailers who wanted gear that was lighter, more versatile, and built to last.
His philosophy is simple: every ounce should earn its place. The result is thoughtfully engineered outdoor gear that removes unnecessary weight without sacrificing the durability, versatility, or performance people depend on wherever adventure takes them.
