MSR  Alpine Stowaway Pot - 0.775 Liters

I do mostly solo camping and I bought this pot to heat water for coffee and reconstituting freeze dried food and to heat water for washing clothes and other items. I've used it with propane, alcohol stoves, and wood fires, and it's quite efficient. I like this pot's secure lid and handle, and the fact that the handle remains cool and folds over and locks for storage. It's a great size for one or two people. My pot got quite black from being used over wood fires, and MSR says that this will improve the pot's efficiency; however, the tacky soot can get over everything in your pack unless you keep it in a separate bag.

This holds about 3.2 cups, so it can double as a large cup or a small pot to cook up some hot soup mix, or a couple cans of beans; Or to boil up some water and drink if you were in a survival situation. I store this in a small pack in my car with a package of dry soup mix inside, along with some other emergency items. The quality is very nice, the handle unfolds and clicks in place, or when packed away it holds the lid down snug; it has a very nice latch also. I would say this has the possibility to be passed down and will easily last a lifetime.

I know this is not the lightest part. I have used MSR stowaway pots for 30 years now I still have my first one. They might be heavier by today’s standards, but they are so reliable. I love that you can lock your lid in case it falls over, you can save your meal, I truly don’t have any complaints. I actually own three now one from myself, My wife and my son.

Used this pot for camping and was very pleased with it. Used it for heating up water for tea in the morning and for canned veggies for dinner. Placed it directly over the fire and worked perfectly. The handle stayed cool and didn't get too hot while the pot itself conducted heat quick and efficiently. The pot did get a layer of dark soot on it due to the fire, but it wasn't too hard to wipe off with a little elbow grease and a paper towel. Easy to clean and compact little pot, perfect for camping. I highly recommend getting yourself one.

I have been using a couple of these for years now, I am not an aluminum guys so these were an awesome choice. Very solid, easy to cook in them, good locking system on the handles, handles direct hot fires very well, easy to clean inside, great for storing gear in with its locking system nothing can fall out. With a little DIY you can suspend any of these pots over a fire, As mention before a pouring spout and graduation on them would make them perfect.

Bought this product, and have taken it out camping once. 20 mile hike in mts. of North Carolina over two days, for 2 meals. Would recommend this pot over the 475 ml, which will only heat 2 cups. The 775 heats over 3 cups. Was able to boil water for whole group by simply making a fire, and sticking the MSR pot in there. It's that simple. This little thing was a champ. Heats quickly, and the flame/coals do not bother the metal one bit. Was greatly impressed.

When backpacking in the High Sierra, campfires are illegal at many of the alpine lakes, the very lakes I seek out for trout. I needed a small pot that would work well in conjunction with my bakepacker. With some minor improvisations to the bakepacker, this pot is superb. Heavy for the UL crowd, perfect for my own particular needs.

I've used this nifty little pot on numerous occasions to boil water or heat up some corn or beans or whatnot. It's a great little pot, but maybe a tad too small if you are cooking for more than one or two people (who don't eat a lot). I haven't ordered one yet, but I imagine the next size up would be perfect for my needs. The lid snaps on via the handle, and is very secure. Foodstuff doesn't stick to the bottom much, and even when it does the pot cleans very easily with little effort. The pot itself doesn't feel very heavy, and can be used to secure small items or food when packing in. Overall I highly recommend it!

I got the pot for backpacking and I use it my MSR whisperlight. I boil water for the mountain house meals mainly but you can do much more with the stainless steel

I've owned this pot for 10 years now and it's as functional as when I first bought it. I spend about 100 nights a year in the backcountry and I use it twice a day. It's my pot and bowl all in one. The lid clamps down nicely, so if you're transporting water from creek to camp, you can just seal it up and walk without worrying about it. I've never used a titanium pot and don't think I ever will since I have this thing.
