I"m looking to go retro on my next hike.
I'll be carrying my old Jansport D3 and I'm trying to find
an Optimus 99R stove.
If someone has one with a layer of dust and would consider
selling please let me know.
An Optimus 8r is close enough too

THANKS!

Have you tried e-bay? They sometimes show up in the camping section, although many sellers want to try to sell them as "collectable".
(I can't sell you mine - I still use it...a REAL workhorse, and lightweight because of the aluminum body.)
Good luck.

Thanks and yes to trying e-bay. I keep loosing on the bid, usually during the last minute. If you ever change your mind......

What other retro gear is in the plan? 60/40 parka? Sigg pots? Ensolite pad? Gerry tent? Count me as a supporter.

the 60/40 would be over the top since they are still available from sierra designs but $400.00

$400!!!

And they need to be babied, based on the washing instructions. So sad.

I literally wore my 60/40 to shreds...my favorite feature was that back vertical pocket....
