Bushbuddy Nested inside MSR Titan Kettle

Hi Jonathan,

Try as I might, I cannot get the lid to completely close on my Titan, even when inverted. It's very close, but not a complete seal. That being said, a rubber band secures it quite nicely!

You're going to want to keep the whole shebang in a sack anyways to keep soot off your other gear. Just size the stuff sack so that it closes with the lid tightly on there. It's not too hard to get a no-rattle fit without a rubber band.

Benjamin's idea sounds perfect. If you sew an elastic band into the opening of the bag you could cure the rattles too. I figure a diameter of about 3 to 3 1/2 inches for the elastic band would do the trick. A picture of the BB in a MSR kettle would be great. Anybody?

Here are a couple of pictures of my setup:

The parts:

Bushbuddy inside Titan – note that the BB is about half an inch taller. Also, the Titan's lid sits pretty deep in the pot.

The lid does NOT close.

All together – no rattles.

The elastic cord is a great idea!

thanks Ben, looks like a good fit all things considered
