Canada's Source for Ultralight Cooking Systems
Compact Heat for Solo Backpacking and Fast Travel
The Optimus Crux Lite Solo Cook System is a compact cooking kit designed for users who want fast boiling times, precise flame control, and a lightweight setup that packs down small. The system includes the Crux Lite stove and the Terra Solo cook set, giving you a complete one person cooking solution that fits easily into a pack. The updated USA model uses the same proven burner design with a wide flame pattern for even heat distribution.
The 3000 watt burner provides strong output for quick meals and hot drinks. The cook set includes a 0.6 litre pot with measuring marks and a fry pan that doubles as a lid. Everything nests together in the included mesh bag, with room to spare for a small gas canister.
Purpose Built for Fast and Light Travel
The Crux Lite stove uses stainless steel and aluminum components for durability and low weight. The Terra Solo cook set is made from hard anodized aluminum that heats quickly and resists wear. The system is ideal for backpackers, bikepackers, and anyone who wants a simple and reliable cooking setup without unnecessary bulk.
Field Ready Features for Canadian Conditions
