Just tried this as the whole set this past weekend, but have used it in various configurations over the past few months. It's really light! It's amazing that you can fit so many different things in one package so efficiently.

I thought the wash basin would be handy but I really only use it as a stuff sack. For cleaning the dishes I just boil water in the pot and add soap (I guess old habits die hard).

The other thing is the cups- they're pretty big and kinda awkward. We do find that using the cup/bowl combination works as a good insulator for hot food.

We don't use a PocketRocket stove, but storing a stove in it would be pretty sweet (it even comes with a small pouch for one). Otherwise, you can't store much in the bowls except really small stuff.

A nice feature (as mentioned in another review) is the strainer in the lid. Also, 8 oz. of water boils in less than a few minutes (with a WisperLite).
