Hello, my fellow backpackers,
Long ago was my last post here. Since then many miles have been walked and also a few smaller backpackers joined :). We are now hiking with our 3 kids and my Evernew 1.3L pot with an amazing TD SideWinder becomes inadequate for 5 people. On our last trip to Austria, we had to boil it twice on each occasion.
I’m looking at some options for a relatively light but big pot over 2L. The options I saw:
- Evernew 2.6L NS pot at 290g
- Toaks Bail Pot 2L – 245g
We mostly boil water, so no real cooking. That’s why I started to look up for tea kettles too. An interesting find was a Fire Maple Aluminium HA Kettle 1.5L at 308g but for only $28 on AliExpress. IT Even has a Heat Exchanger (same kettle without HE is ~60 gram lighter). Not sure how much will it help. I use Kovea Spider stove when hiking with kids. I put the stove inside the TiTri cone and then insert the Evernew 1.3L pot from above. The kettle is 153mm in diameter, when Evernew 1.3L is 150 – maybe it is possible to use same cone?
I will appreciate any suggestions!
Greg.
