Pot grippers

Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I use the little one from the Trangia mini set:
It's amazingly strong for something so light, and can lift most small to mid-size pots. I was suspicious of it at first, but 15 years of regular use later it still looks like new - come to think of it, it's probably my oldest bit of regular kit. Simple but very effective.

I dont as i lost the ones from the mini trangia, broke the rubbish skeletonised ones that where a token offering that came with the very good coleman exponent pans, and my replacement aluminium ones wouldnt go over the pan. Handles attached all the way.
I quite like these though, tthey look universal, and like they will not damage the pots.

Without a pot gripper a piece of cloth does hobo style

I just use a standard Trangia style pot grabber, seems to work on all my pots, I think I bought mine from Amazon.

Google 'silicon pot grapper', also comes with some GSI cook pots like the minimalist...
Different and more compact?

I keep a cut down Trangia pot holder, small tongs for fliping Bacon or Sausage, a spoon,
a small grater and a Nutmeg and a Grants whiskey minature full of Olive Oil in the internal cup/plate of my Zebra 12cm billy
under this a stainless steel meths stove and priming syringe inside a felt bag which sits inside a Heinz sponge pudding tin with church key canopener holes punched in this becomes the windshield billy holder
Duck egg in with hot oil dribbled on top
grate some Nutmeg on, I usually take Nutmeg into the hills rather than Pepper, it's great on mashed Potatoes (Smash)

I use the pot gripper from the MSR Alpine cookset, Seems happy to hold a 2L pot full of food without issue.

A half inch wide strip of 3 or 4 mm thick leather equal in length to the circumference of your largest pot / pan + 100 mm.....job done 
I used the pot gripper that comes with the minimalist but you have to be careful where your hand is in relation to pouring hot water into your mug or bowl as you can get a steam burn if you're not careful.
MsSpy also encountered the same problem. You can see what I mean at around 2:20

I now use the pliers from my MT or a sweat rag.

I liked the look of that so I ordered one... it's really very bulky and while i'm sure it will to do the job I'm not sure i'm going to take it anywhere because of its bulk.
I have a trangia one, in my set of trangia pans/burner..
But that GSI one looks good, looks like a smaller version of what i have at home for the black iron pans I have.

I have a light aluminium one from a Wilkinson's cheap camp set. It does the job nicely and was easily cut to fit my billy. The whole set was only £7.

Thanks for telling me, i wont bother with it then. It does look like it will be alot kinder to the sides of the pan when you compare it to a trangia one, as they have just two points that clasp the pot, usually damaging it if its aluminuim or non stick.
For the DIYers:http://www.andersj.se/tamoj2.htm
It's in Swedish, but the pics will perhaps be helpful

I have a few MSR pots that have chips all around the top from the pot lifter... I had great hopes for this and I bet it won't scratch pots at all but alas it looks like Fisher Price made it.
A cut down trangia one goes everywhere with me. Only cut it down so it fits in the bowl thing of my 12cm Zebra billy.
I just ordered one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/douself-Outdoor-Cookware-Anodized-Aluminum/dp/B00K2T7PW0
Standard design but has little silicone bits to protect the non stick surface. Inexpensive so worth a shot.
