Primus stove sets offer gourmet meals for day hikers, backpackers alike

Primus unveiled its Essential and Primetech stove sets, serving for all-in-one compact options that provide hot meals on the trail — wherever it may take you.

The Essential stove kit is exactly what its name implies — an affordable and comprehensive option that provides the fundamental elements of delicious backcountry fares. This stove kit includes a burner integrated into a wind guard, making for sturdy and simple assembly.

The burner is packaged with two anodized, abrasion-resistant aluminum cooking pots, a non-stick hard anodized frying pan that also serves as a lid, and a detachable gripper. The set is designed to fit neatly into one small package to eliminate rattling and includes an insulation bag. The Essential kit is available in 1.3-liter and 2.3L sizes, with the smaller version weighing 858 grams and the larger model 1,047 grams.

The Primetech stove set was designed with efficiency in mind. The stove is constructed to maximize fuel efficiency while providing consistent energy output and full performance. The kit highlights a windscreen with an integrated burner and regulation valve for enhanced efficiency.

The Primetech stove set includes one Primetech hard anodized pot with ceramic non-stick coating and one basic anodized aluminum scratch-resistant pot. The Primtech pot is equipped with a bottom-fixed heat exchanger that cuts regular fuel consumption in half. The kit also includes a transparent lid with integrated colander for draining water, a detachable gripper, and insulation bag.

The 1.3L Primetech kit weighs 727 grams while the larger 2.3L model comes in at 870 grams, making for ideal options for dedicated backcountry trekkers. Both the Primus Essential and Primetech stove sets are made for easy carrying, cleaning, and transport.

The Essential 1.3L stove kit retails for $110 on the Primus website, with the Essential 2.3L costing just $10 more. The Primetech 1.3L is priced at $155 with the Primetech 2.3L version at $175.

This trail-tested, road ready Aventon e-bike is $200 off — We gave it 4.5 stars
Aventon Ramblas eMTB e-bike for trail and off-road rides

At the risk of repeating myself, we are rather fond of Aventon e-bikes here at Digital Trends. They tend to review favorably because of how much value they offer. Take the Ramblas eMTB e-bike, for instance. We gave it four and a half stars in our review back in August. Resident reviewer and e-bike expert, Bruce Brown, praised it for its "strong hardtail" frame, excellent mid-drive torque, strong stopping power, smooth ride experience, and competitive pricing. The latter is a real highlight, but get this, it's also on sale right now for $200 off. So, that competitive pricing is even more enticing. Normally $2,899, it's down to $2,699 thanks to a big sale, saving you $200. Check out that sale for yourself, otherwise let's discuss why this is such a great e-bike, especially if you like trail riding.

 
Why do we love the Aventon Ramblas eMTB e-bike in this sale?

Mod Bikes launches a BMW-inspired, limited-edition sidecar e-bike
MOD Easy Sidecar Sahara limited edition e-bike.

Mod Bikes has introduced the Mod Easy Sidecar Sahara, a limited-edition sidecar-style cargo e-bike modeled on the 1940s BMW R75 Sahara motorcycle. On November 9, 2024, Mod will exhibit the Sidecar Sahara at the Electrify Expo at the Circuit of the Americas racetrack in Austin, Texas.
Mod does sidecars

The BMW R 75 Sahara, which inspired the limited-edition e-bike, is a highly collectible motorcycle. Mod Bikes is one of the few e-bike manufacturers that sells e-bikes with sidecars in the U.S., along with other styles. The versatile Easy Sidecar models transform in just a few minutes from a sidecar e-bike to a standard, two-wheel e-bike. However, the sidecar configuration is fun for carrying pets, children, small adults, and groceries or other cargo.

I’m convinced Pins and Aces golf outfits are great for everyone, not just athletes
Pins and Aces banner with clothing styles

Some clothing designs stand the test of time, others transcend fashion categories or groups, just like Pins & Aces. Allow me to explain. Primarily meant for golfers and athletes, Pins & Aces carries a wide variety of golf-themed gear from golf bags to unique club heads. I don't really play golf so that doesn't excite me much. Maybe it piques your interest? Anyway, what does interest me is the large collection of unique and snazzy apparel. They don't just carry polos, they also carry streetwear, hats, shorts, joggers, and even women's and youth apparel. Thanks to Black Friday and the holiday shopping season, a ton of Pins & Aces apparel is on sale right now too. Go check it out.
