Building a better pot…

To start off, I would suggest you get a mixing bowl, usually they are made in stainless steel but you may find aluminum or copper. Modify that and when you are happy with it, get hold of the Snow Peak Trek Titanium Bowl, (1.90z ,holds 20oz) and finish you project with this one (if you are also after a very light solution)
For a strainer, just drill a few tiny holes on the lid.
No handles, use a pot holder.

I posted this on another forum but thought that could inspire someone here too..

That is a fantastic starting point! Thanks!!!!!

i took a weekender a few weeks back and tried something new. I used a 12oz caribou coffee cold drink can to boil water. It is built much like a pepsi can except it has a screw top lid.

I poked a few holes in the lid, 2 to vent and 2 for my skewer stake to slide though. MAKE SURE YOUR HOLES ARE LARGER THAN THUMB TACK SIZE. I first had 1 tiny hole and when the water pressurized it made a squirt gun type stream of boiling water fly out, praise God none of us got hit. After that i used a tent stake (skewer) to make bigger holes.

I just used a stick to pick it up by the tent stake and put it in the fire, it would steam i would pull it out. Very easy and i will bring an extra cap next time so i can carry water in it. Pot/water bottle under 2oz, not bad (i think its right near 1oz or 1.5, my scale sux)
