    Exotac Titanlight.

    My friend have it and I had a chance to play with it. Apparently they solved the main issue with fuel evaporating but otherwise it's bulky, expensive and doesn't hold fuel where it should be.

    Big Thanks - 2021 BushMoot

    Couldn't be there this year but I said it before and I will say it again. Bushmoot is not a camping trip, it's a family reunion.

    What does you daybag contain?

    Pot size for solo hiker.

    I'm pretty much torn between SOTO river pot 1l (145g): And Sea to Summit Alpha pot 1.2l (185g): Both will fit my stove and 550ml titanium cup for drinks, and both in anodized aluminium as I hate how titanium burns food.

    What capacity pot for a single person to cook simple meals? So not only boiling water for dehydrated meals but also reheat noodles, cook pasta or rice. Reddit posts recommend 750ml, 900ml and 1100ml. I'm confused.
