I bought my Optimus 8R in the spring of 1973 or 1974 at Midwest Mountaineering for $13.50. It was the last of the previous year's shipment; the price of new ones was $18 that year. BTW, the Optimus 8R became the Optimus Hiker several years ago. I see there have been some other changes, including an improved burner and a side pump like its big brother, the Optimus 111B, which I used to use for winter camping. Chuck Holst -----Original Message----- I think you can buy the Optimus 8r stoves still too. But neither are cheap. They run close to US$200 each!!! __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4961 (20100320) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
