Great product for the price! Full review

Mountain Mojo Collapsible Coffee Dripper

This is lightweight and works perfectly to make pour-over coffee at a campsite. The brand is Mountain Mojo. If you want to use the pour-over method to brew your coffee at a campsite, then this is for you. This is lightweight, uses a small #4 cone filter, and brews coffee as fast as any other pour-over system. This folds up nicely. Not much else to write here. Full review

Toaks Titanium 850ml Pot

Great pot for solo hiking. My only gripe with this stove is that Toaks no longer makes it. I find mine to be right in the sweet spot size-wise for one-person cooking. I have made soups and noodles in it but would not use it for any more in-depth cooking. As stated in the previous review, great for boiling water for coffee/tea and dehydrated/freeze dried meals. When I first started getting into ultralight backpacking upgrading my cook-kit was one of the first things I looked at doing. The Toaks 850… Full review

Toaks Titanium 1100ml Pot with Pan

Nicely-sized lightweight cooking kit This 1100ml pot from Toaks is a nice size for 1-2 people. I've generally taken it with me when I've been planning to cook or boil water for two people, or when open fires are prohibited and I bring the a twig stove. I typically nest a Toaks Ti Backpacking Wood Burning Stove inside this pot (and a Fancee Feast stove and windscreen within that), and it fits perfectly with its sack. I've used it with alcohol stoves, twig stoves, and over an open fire for about two… Full review

Sea to Summit Delta Bowl with Lid

Holds up well, easy to clean, and silverware kit fits inside. This is my fourth version of mess gear for Boy Scout camping, seems to do the trick. The bowl is deep enough to hold plenty of food, and thick enough to keep it reasonably warm during colder campouts. The diameter is big enough that I can store my utensils inside with the lid closed, and there is even enough room for my headlamp, or small flashlight. Easy to clean when out in the woods. The thumb grip on the side can accept a carabiner,… Full review

MSR Pika 1 L Teapot

Before testing out the Pika 1 L Teapot, I wouldn’t have imagined myself carrying such an accessory. But the 5.2-ounce weight isn’t a terrible burden for someone who forgoes a traditional cookpot. As someone who eats a lot of pre-packaged meals, I usually just boil water to pour into a bag. So, using the Pika 1 L Teapot was a nice experiment. I think this is an incredibly affordable alternative to your conventional cookpot, which can cost upwards of $100.  MSRP: $24.95 Weight: 5.2 ounces… Full review

Toaks Titanium 750ml Pot

This pot is super light and sturdy. I like the graduated ML markings. Works well with my BRS stove. I love it for backpacking! I use this pot on all of my backpacking adventures. Works great for some dehydrated meals and instant coffee. Washes up well too. Full review

Eastman Outdoors Food Dehydrator 4 Tray

I have one of these. I used it three times and it stopped heating. No kidding. THREE times. It appears that an in-line capacitor blew. Not sure I can fix it or not. Stay away from this product. Full review

Sea to Summit AlphaLight Long Spoon

One of my favorite pieces of kit. Everything positive thing that other reviewers have noted still holds true. I've had mine for something like six(?) years now, and have converted all of my hiking buddies from any other utensil. The ability to dig into the bottom of the ubiquitous freeze-dried bag without coating one's fingers, hand, and sleeve is just lovely. My only quibble has nothing really to do with the spoon, but rather with its response to my own clumsiness and inattention. I mean, it's… Full review
