This helped so much! I knew I wanted titanium, but when I saw all the options I had no idea where to go from there. With the price tag on titanium I didn't want to pick the wrong pot.
I love watching these videos on camp cook sets. People become so innovative when creating a set and this video is a great example of just that. My smallest set fits neatly in my hydration pack while I'm out mountain biking. Thanks so much for sharing!
Hey Marine . . . Semper Fi. I was a Hospital Corpsman with the Third Marine Division in Vietnam way back in 1969. I enjoyed eating C-rations. They were both tasty (for the most part) and filling. But maybe its like you said "we were outside all the time" so that undoubtedly gave us a better appetite. Thanks for the information, my friend.
I as well liked the c- rats back then. Well most of them. Corpsman where important member of our platoon. We tried to take care of them the best that we could. Because we knew that when you know what hits the fan. They would be taking care of use. Thank you for your service to our great country William.
Another good video. The more I watch your video's the more I enjoy them. You keep it simple yet you supply us all with really good info. Thanks I really appreciate you.

Thank you NewHampshire Jack for watching and subscribing. It has been almost 40 years since I have been in the Philippines. One of my favorite places that I have traveled to. Beautiful people.
This video is gold. Exactly what I needed to decide on a system and volume. This question has been giving me a hard time since I have to decide for me and my family, and I also want it to be versatile. Thank you!
Excellent video! I would like to add the Keith titanium rice cooker ti6500 . Very versatile and you can cook rice with assorted vegetables and sausages for example. Lots of recipes online.
That's funny. I am very protective of my lighter that I have had for some years now. I always make sure it's with me. Thank you for watching the dude. I really appreciate it.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine im the same way with my favorite lighters. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us all. Ive subbed to your channel! Keep on keeping on
Very well said , I basically have the same kit as you. And I have a new titanium pot coming. (750) My first titanium piece, can't wait to test it. Thanks for the very informative video! I do Boundary Water trips about 4 times a year, as well as the SHT. Love seeing your point of view on things! God bless to you too!
You know some day where going to bump into each other. It is bound to happen. It would be great to shoot the breeze over a camp fire in God's beautiful creation.
Backpacking With a Hammock That would be cool to run into you, runner also. You did a video on Ice Age Trail by Iola, WI. I live a half hour from there. Will have to get on hammock forum so I could join you guys sometime.
@@chuckreetz2953 If nothing comes up unexpected. I will all try to make Da Shack Hang in December. Which is near your home. It would great to see you there.
Great overview as always. I didn't even know that aluminium was lighter than titanium... at least my titanium alcohol stove is a lot lighter than the one that is made of aluminium alloy... In regards to cookware, I'd say that stainless steel and titanium are better for boiling (especially over a bonfire), while aluminium is probably better for proper frying and cooking. Though titanium use to have the disadvantage of being more expensive, that gap is now narrowing down, as there is a lot of decent titanium cookware available online nowadays, that comes at a much more affordable price than what the big brands have been asking for.
I use all three in different situations. I prefer steel (old school ). But it is the heaviest. When car camping though. There is nothing like my Grandfather's iron pans or the Dutch Ovens. Thank you for sharing that Kevin. Good stuff!
That is a great point. I have a few of those pots. I don't know why I did not think of that.. And I love to cook over a fire. Thank you for watching and sharing that Thomas. I really appreciate it.
Wonderful video with a lot of helpful advice. Thanks! One thing I'm trying to find is a camp pot with a good spout so it will easily pour for sharing. Do you know of any that you'd recommend?
My favorite pot is from Four Dogs Stoves. It has a bail for hanging over the fire. Handles for holding, when on the stove. Plus a pouring spout. Thank you for watching Atomic Volcano. I really appreciate it.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine Your welcome! & thanks for all the great info with your vids! & if ya ever get a chance the sleeping bear dunes area & islands in lower mitten michigan is a awesome place to hike & hang!
Great video! One thing I didn’t hear you mention is that if you use a short+wide pot instead of a tall+narrow mug, you will shorten your boil time and increase your fuel efficiency. One question though: what pants are you wearing in the video? Those look perfect for backpacking/hiking. Where can I get a pair? Thanks!
That is a good point. Good info CR R. That pants are from Fjallraven called Keb Trousers. Made tough and very comfortable for expeditions. They have cheaper ones. To me they where well worth the price. A good investment. Thank you for watching and sharing that.
I'm sorry but titanium isn't rare at all. It's almost as common as dirt. It's rare in the sense that all sources of it come from China only. But the sheer amount of it means it can be used in cook kits without costing hundreds of dollars for something like a small 700ml pot. The biggest reason why Ti costs so much is because it is a giant pain the neck to work with. Taking titanium and making _anything_ out of it is very difficult and time consuming. Aluminum and stainless steel by comparison are incredibly easy to work with. The time consuming and difficult nature of working with titanium is why prices are significantly higher than aluminum cook kits.
Have you used any of the sea to summit pots or pans? They are intriguing to me. I am looking for a small pan and pot for my annual hunting trip and have looked at them as they can fold in and actually fit inside of each other about the thickness as a Frisbee.
I have not yet. Some day I will. sea to summit makes great quality products. If you get it. Please let me know how it worked for you. Thank you for watching Fishin The 910.
I was able to make my own DIY Fancy Feast stove. Although my first boil test didn't do so well as it took a whopping time of about 7 :30 to bring 2 cups of water to boil. I didn't have a windscreen, so maybe I can estimate 6 :30, but that still seems like too much time compared with boil tests I've watched.
It seems like alcohol stoves have there own personality. But one thing I do know is that there is a breaking in time period. Runner uses a Fancy Feast stove that took many trips to get that thing purring like a kitten. Six minutes is a good boil time for a alcohol stove. Plus you made it yourself makes your alcohol stove PRICELESS !
If you use a short+Wide pot instead of a tall+narrow mug, you will shorten your boil time and effectively increase your fuel efficiency. Along with a Windscreen of course.
I love to cook over the fire. Titanium is not the best for that. I prefer stainless steel. But if I am backing many miles. Than I would use titanium. Thank you for watching and sharing that L33tspeak. I really appreciate it.
Good information. Want to mention though that I also liked those little torch lighters, until it completely failed at only 10500 feet. My regular bic mini ighter has worked fine at the same elevation). Its great down in the valleys (4-5K feet), but not at 10.5 or even 10k feet, in my experience. I'm interested to know if others have had the same problem with those otherwise cool mini torch lighters, and if anyone has more accurately identified at what elevation they become unreliable.
Thank you for sharing that John. When I was in the Himalaya's two years ago. I did not use one. Now I wish I would have brought one to try. That is very interesting.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine I'm susupect the mini bic would fail too if much higher than I was at 10.5K feet, but I'm mostly backpacking in the Uintahs, at elevations between 9-11k feet, and I got used to my bics working there, and was surprised when the mini torch wouldn't work at the same elevations.
@@UTFamilyLawAttorney Try a little micro surgery on the breather gaps in the heat shield, increasing the amount of oxygen that can get through those little air holes should help your tiny torch perform better at high altitude.
Good info, on the whole...but a metallurgist you ain't. Now, the difference in weight of aluminum and titanium cannot be the same..they are different metals..but they approximate each other to the degree that it is unimportant. And the strength of titanium is frequently overrated, but approximates that of mild steel. Otherwise, for cooking purposes it is mostly like stainless steel. With one more positive trait: it is an antimicrobial metal when heated it forms a patina that contains that property. I love titanium, bit the price is insane. I have a little bit, but lean on stainless for my gear, for the most part. And for basecamp/camper travelling I like my carbon steel fry pan..I treat it the same as case iron, but it is tougher.
I was wondering what size of camp cookware I should get for just myself, since I'm going to start out for the first time in a month. Two 1.2L pots in a Trangia kitchen would be overkill it would seem!
It all depends if you are backpacking or just camping. And also what type of food you are going to cook. But with that being said. If you want a cooking pot for just you. ( not used for more than one person )A good all around cooking pot is the 700mi. Either stainless steel or titanium. If you have more questions. Please ask.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine Do you have a recommendation of a decent brand? I saw another video of a guy who simply didn't use any stove at all and ate his food cold/room temperature. Obviously this wasn't during winter season. But maybe it is feasible for me when I'm going to go hiking during summertime, when the average temperature during the nights is 8-12C in the area and time of year I'm walking. It would save me some weight.
@@KamiKaZantA, I would recommend the Snow Peak Titanium trek 700. It is a little more expensive than others. But a good investment that will last you a life time.
Just one thought: The old belief that aluminum (aluminium for our Brit cousins) poses a health hazard which will give people Alzheimer's is a fallacy that won't die. A great deal of research has gone into this, and aluminum doesn't contribute to Alzheimer's.
Thank you for this! Have you seen the collapsible silicone pots by Sea to Summit? I've seen videos where people test their limits on stoves and they seem able to handle the flame as advertised but I was wondering your thoughts on them.
I love when companies are innovating new gear. But they are only made for water-based cooking. Which in most backpacking situation would work just fine. But for me. I like my pots made of some type of metal ( aluminum, titanium or stainless steel ) Mainly because I like to use them on a open fire to cook. And also for less bulk. I will nest my stove and other cooking gear inside the pot. I hope this helps. Thank you for watching Amanda. I really appreciate it.
I believe mainly for cooking food that needs to have boiling water. Dehydrated foods to keep the weight down. Thank you for watching Donny. I really appreciate it.
Can’t a cup with a lid accomplish the same thing. A kettle does look cooler. I would like to see a video on comparing a cup of the same capacity to a kettle and the advantages if any.
You are absolutely right Donny. I think the confusion is when people have a mug or cup. They will put a lid on it and call it a pot. I am guilty of that. The pot or mug that I will use on a backpacking trip is a titanium mug with a lid (pot) that weighs 2.8 oz ( 88g ) without the lid. Which has a capacity of 20.3 fl oz or 600 milliliters. That 600 mug can pretty much handle any situation.
They are the Fjallraven Keb Trousers. They are expensive. But made well. I have had these for a few years now. And really abused them in the wilderness. And they still are holding up well. Thank you for watching Jason. I really appreciate it.
don't you dare tell her i said but the way you enjoyed that freeze dried meal makes me real concerned about your wifes cooking (presuming you have one !) ;-)
I've been using the GSI Pinnacle Soloist for four years. Love it... review here: ua-cam.com/video/VueoAm-4OzI/v-deo.html . Have u had the opportunity to try it? What are your thoughts?
Also a very good video with a lots of details. I remember your video with comparing types of stoves. ua-cam.com/video/p5xIwDgAWv0/v-deo.html How about comparing the different heating power of the stoves ? Even comparing different power of gas stoves. More powerfull = less cooking time and maybe less fuel needed. ie how fast the systems boil the same amount of water, with the same pot. Also it cooks faster, if you use a lid = a closed pot. (greetings from sw germany.)
Thanks for the good ideas. My great grand parents came here from Germany. Someday I will return to where my family began. Thank you for watching sunnymas.
This helped so much! I knew I wanted titanium, but when I saw all the options I had no idea where to go from there. With the price tag on titanium I didn't want to pick the wrong pot.

They all pretty much make a good cooking pot. It is all personal preference. With those companies. You can't go wrong. Thank you for watching Jeff.

@@AdventureswiththeMarine Don't cheap out please. Those DIY pop can stoves are for hobos. Spend few bucks and save a forest!
Also a very good video with a lots of details.
I remember your video with comparing types of stoves.

How about comparing the different heating power of the stoves ?
Even comparing different power of gas stoves.
More powerfull = less cooking time and maybe less fuel needed.
ie how fast the systems boil the same amount of water, with the same pot.
Also it cooks faster, if you use a lid = a closed pot.

Thanks for the good ideas. My great grand parents came here from Germany. Someday I will return to where my family began. Thank you for watching sunnymas.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine USA and germany are IMHO very different.
It´s difficult to compare
