Read More I bought this to cook noodles and ramen. I don't need a 100 dollar nonstick pot for that/ I am more than capable of using steel wool. I also bought the pot lifter. At $4.00, it was hardly fatal. I usually carry the noodles and ramen IN the pot. I am very happy with this and will probably get the 2 quart pot as well. -

Read More I use this pot for backpacking trips with a group of 3 or more. It is perfect for one pot meals for medium to large size groups. Very light weight, durable, and does not take up very much room in the pack. The only con I can think of is that it is difficult to clean at times because it lacks a non stick surface, but bring along a little steel wool and you should have no problem. -

Read More This is a great pot for the price. I gave it four stars instead of five only because to use it, you really must buy an extra pot handle (the type that clamps to the rim). I suppose you could try to pour water from it using the included wire bail handle, but you would most likely end up with burned fingers and spilled water. Combined with the extra handle, this thing is great. I took it on a four day hike on the Appalachian trail with my family and it met all my needs. I don't like cleaning any more dishes on the trail than I absolutely have to, so I basically would use this pot to boil water for oatmeal, grits, cup o' soups, coffee, cider, etc. which I would make all in the same cup so all I had to clean was one cup and a spork, which can be accomplished with a little more hot water. If this pot had a built in fold out handle to help pour, it would have rated five stars in my book. However, the extra handle is fairly light and stows inside the pot with my fuel canister and a few other small items. If you are truly looking to minimize weight, then maybe one of the over-priced titanium pots is for you, but for 90% of budget-minded hikers out there, this pot will fit the bill! -
Sep 12, 2010PerfectAgree with everyone. I wanted lighter and looked at the 4L Titanium pot. 15.9 oz for Titanium vs 16 oz for this Aluminum pot. ??? [$] for this Aluminum one and $99.50 for the Titanium? ...
Read More Agree with everyone. I wanted lighter and looked at the 4L Titanium pot. 15.9 oz for Titanium vs 16 oz for this Aluminum pot. ??? [$] for this Aluminum one and $99.50 for the Titanium? Who messed up the product spec on that one?I have used this pot for 3 years now. I put my Prius backpacking stove, lighter/matches, small sponge and stainless steel wool pad in it and it drops right into my backpack. I put the pot into the stream and drop the intake from my First Need water purifier into the pot to keep any sediment out of my filter. I fill my water bottles and then pull the pot out, full of water and put it onto the Prius stove and boil the water for use in my Mountain House packet and eat with a plastic spork. A great lightweight system - no expensive Titanium needed or wanted.If I cook some trout, I cook it in bacon grease for great, crispy flavor then clean the pot with steel wool and sand. Use the lid as a plate to eat the trout from. Easy! I'm not going to 'upgrade' to titanium. -

Read More This is a nice pot for the price and very light weight, but I have to disagree on the claim that it is durable. The first trip I used it, it got bent out of shape from cramming gear in my pack. My cook knife also punctured it inside the pack. So I think it is fine as long as you pack it carefully. I may recommend it to a recreational user but not to a fellow guide. -
Jan 21, 2010Winter Snow MelterThis is a basic lightweight pot that is perfect for melting snow in the winter. The pots large gallon capacity makes this chore easy. This price is great too.

Jan 18, 2010Winter Snow melter.I needed a large pot for melting drinking water snow in the winter. This pot fit the bill perfectly. It's light weight, has a secure lid and best of all really inexpensive.

Read More I've owned this cookpot for about 27 years, and have used it on many trips. The simple design of this product hasn't changed in many years; no real reason to. One nice feature of the 4 quart size is that a 1 lb loaf of bread, made in a bread machine, just fits inside. Recently, I purchased the 2 quart version of this product to save space in my pack, as I usually am just cooking for myself.
