Svea 123
The Swedish-made Svea 123 is a small liquid-fuel (naphtha, commonly referred to as “white gas” or “Coleman fuel”) pressurized-burner camping stove that traces its origins to designs first pioneered in the late 19th century.
==History==
Svea stoves were first made by C.R. Nybergs Lödlampfabrik, which also manufactured blowtorches as well as other machinery and equipment. Founded by Carl Nyberg, the firm later became one of the largest industries in Sundbyberg, Sweden. In 1922, the business was taken over by Max Sievert, an early associate of Nyberg’s, and renamed Sieverts Lödlampfabrik (later known as (Sievert AB )). The Svea 123, introduced in 1955, is considered to be the first compact backpacking white gas stove〔Outside Magazine, April 2002, “The Gear Years 1875-2002.”〕 and one of the most popular camping stoves ever made.〔H. Manning, "Backpacking: One Step At A Time," p.274 (Vintage Books 1980)〕 Its distinctive “roaring” sound has been likened to that of a jet engine at takeoff.〔Outsideonline, Nov. 12, 2002, “Gear Guy – Do you know of a camping stove that’s not too noisy?”〕 In 1969, the Svea brand was acquired by (Optimus ),〔Westways Magazine, "Gear for Travel," Vol. 63, No. 9, p. 81 (September 1971)〕 another Swedish manufacturer of portable stoves, which has continued production of the Svea 123 to the present day. Because of its simple design〔B. Mason, "Song of the Paddle: An Illustrated Guide to Wilderness Camping," p.50 (Firefly Books 2004)〕 and reputation for dependable performance,〔R. Mueser, "Long Distance Hiking: Lessons learned from the Appalachian Trail," p.58 (Ragged Mountain Press 1997)〕 even under extreme conditions,〔F. Bouwman, "The Practical Camp Book," p.84 (Horizon 1998)〕 the Svea 123 enjoys a devoted following.
The popularity of portable camping stoves such as the Svea coincided with the increase during the 1950s and 1960s in the awareness of the environmental impact of backpacking,〔C. Jensen & S. Guthrie, "Outdoor Recreation in America," p.31 (Human Kinetics 6th Ed. 2006)〕 particularly in heavily-traveled areas,〔S. Cox & K. Fulsaas, "Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills," pp.123-24 (Mountaineers Books 7th Ed. 2003)〕 and the rise of the Leave No Trace ethic in the 1970s and 1980s.〔A. McGibney, "Leave No Trace: A Guide to the New Wilderness Etiquette," pp. 29, 31 (Mountaineers Books 2d Ed. 2003)〕 At the same time, scarcity of fuel in over-used camping areas as well as regulatory requirements (open-fire bans) also contributed to the need for a substitute for open campfires for "wilderness" area cooking.〔M. Mouland, "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Camping and Hiking," p.74 (Alpha Books 2nd Ed. 2000)〕 Eventually stoves that were lighter in weight than the Svea, as well as those of other designs that were capable of burning a wider variety of fuels (useful when camping in other parts of the world where white gas is difficult to find) knocked it from its perch as one of the most popular backpacking stoves after nearly 50 years of production.〔C. Townsend, "The Backpacker's Handbook," p.216, 221 (International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press 2d Ed. 1996)〕 However, the rugged and durable Svea 123—often described by long-time users as "bomb-proof"〔C. Latimer, "Wilderness Cuisine," p.65 (Wilderness Press 1991)〕—still remains popular and continues in wide use.〔A. Getchell & R. Getchell, "The Essential Outdoor Gear Manual," p.96 (International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press 2d Ed. 2000)〕
