Making fire Primus
Steeped in Swedish engineering, Primus has been globally recognized for pioneering outdoor cooking since 1892.
Since then innovative products have made countless expeditions possible through outstanding quality and performance: a Primus stove accompanied Roald Amundsen when he was the first person to reach the South Pole on 14 December 1911. Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay used a Primus on Mount Everest when they climbed the summit on 29 May 1953.
However, these are just the most popular amongst several pioneering adventures that relied on Primus in the past. Until today, search for improved technologies and smart solutions for the most adventures has never stopped.
Their passion for the outdoors and technical expertise is the secret behind every one of these innovations. It's also the reason they hand test every stove before it leaves state of the art European production facility in Estonia. Their goal is to ensure each and everyone becomes a truly reliable, life-long companion.

Flints
The very idea of flint, i.e. flinting with suitable materials against itself, is nothing new. The principle has remained the same for centuries, the idea being to scrape one material against another and get a spark that ignites the prepared material. But in recent decades, innovative flints made from modern materials have appeared on the market.
KINDLING
Kindling works on the simple principle of using a highly flammable material to ignite the rest of our wood. Birch bark would be a great example of good natural kindling. You can find both a combined magnesium flint fire starter and separate solid fire starters in our offer.
MATCHES
Ordinary matches can be found in almost any shop. However, in Armed you can find special military matches that are waterproof, so they are also suitable for wet environments. We also offer wind-resistant matches, which are characterized by a larger combustible surface and therefore better resist being blown by the wind.
LIGHTERS
Every smoker carries at least one lighter. If you are not a smoker but you like trips outdoors, you should also have a lighter just in case. It's a useful tool for starting a fire. You will certainly choose a good lighter from our offer. We offer both cool chrome Zippo petrol lighters and outdoor gas lighters highly resistant to wind.
