GSI Outdoors  Halulite Dualist HS Cookset

Seems like a great little cookset if you get one that's not damaged. When mine arrived, I checked all the parts but didn't remove the sleeves from the mugs until I went to clean it before a trip. Turns out, the sleeves were hiding cracks running from the top to the bottom of the mugs. The blue mug also had a speck of debris embedded in the plastic. Inspect closely before you need to use it!

After 15 years of heavy use, my GSI Dualist set is still in just as good condition as the day I bought it. I use it for everything from car camping to PCT Thru-hiking. I think it's the perfect backpacking cookset, and possibly the most reliable bit of outdoor gear I own. The older model I have doesn't have the heat-sink bottom or the sporks, so I can't speak to those, but otherwise it looks like everything is exactly the same.

I stuff this set into my pack for overnighters. Super compact, sturdy, boils fast. What else could you want? The folding utensils are innovative too. Recommended!

I own the 2018 pinnacle version of this set and have been using it consistently for 8 years. That version has Teflon which has worn out, so I'm replacing it with the non-teflon version because everything else about the set is amazing. I'll repeat what another reviewer said - this might be the most reliable piece of outdoors gear I own, and I've used in pretty much every environment imaginable, from melting snow for water while ski touring high in Colorado, to cooking oddball recipes in the rural Ecuadorian Andes where you have to get by with whatever ingredients you can find locally. It's a great "backcountry chef" cook set - I'll heat a pot of water and pour it into the mugs for tea, pour the rest of the water into a bowl of instant rice and cover it, then cook the rice toppings in the pot while the tea and rice are waiting. It's overkill size-wise if you're just boiling water to pour into a dehydrated meal pouch, but it's great for those more custom meals. It also easily holds 2 large servings of instant mashed potatoes (2 idahoan brand 4oz pouches) rehydrated in the pot and can just barely hold 3 servings if you need it to. The bowls are also perfectly sized to use as a water bath for an 8oz fuel canister to keep the canister warm when using an upright canister stove in winter (canister stoves often fail below 20° F). The newer versions address my two biggest issues with the old set - they got rid of the rubber gasket around the pot lid, which was always coming off, and the mugs slide in and out of the bowls a lot easier. There are certainly some more ultralight options out there, and I have another titanium setup for when I really need to keep it light, but for cooking real meals in the backcountry at a reasonable weight and size this is about as good as it gets!
