save space with fold flat cookware?

It's a start - thanks!

A tip though, hold it over a fire until supple when you are going to fold bark like that. It reduces the chances of cracking greatly.

I can´t see any advantage over a 1 liter ti pot plus bowl (as a lid) combo

Having gone back to read the new specs I'm glad to see their making them from recycled materials now.

There is one advantage, which strangley enough the manufacturer's don't seem to see as a marketing point, they float.

I agree with you that I wouldn't replace a cookpot/billy with them, but see them as a somewhat different usage eg more a small group thing rather than a solo thing.

of course it´s possible to bring water in a paper container to a boil - no doubt about that. Im not sure about freezer bag cooking, at higher temperatures some of the bag´s material might "go" into the food.
And of course it´s all about bushcraft here, no doubt our ancestors used birch bark, wood, clay, animal skin and whatever they had - probably no titanium, not sure about those folding plastic stuff

whith my critics I just wanted to make a point about some downsides of folding flat cookware and for sure not to put them down in total.
My apologies if this wasn´t clear.

Best on this discussion is to learn from others - thanks a lot for the ideas.
For sure I´m now prepared for the worst case: beeing somewhere in the wild and having no Trangia and no titanium pot with me all I´ve to do is to find birch bark

You can use elm, spruce or whatever other bark too (non-poisonous preferably). The results are cruder though.
