View Full Version : Vargo Titanium Ti-Lite 1.3L Non-Stick Kettle
Okay, after finding out how heavy my kitchen really is (even for 2 people) in the earlier thread, I'm looking for additional ways to cut weight. The Vargo 1.3L Ti pot weighs 5.1oz. with a lid and has non stick coating for in the pot meals. That would be a 3.4 ounce decrease from my 1.5L Blacklite pot.
An expensive 3.4 ounce savings I admit, but savings all the same. Does anyone have experience with this pot and what do you think?

If you are willing to carry a 2-liter pot, you could try the antigravity gear version (http://www.antigravitygear.com/proddetail.php?prod=MK2QNS), 5.9 oz and $13.00. That's a little big for my wife and me, but the price is right.

I've looked at it 3 or 4 times and while the price is awsome and the extra room would be handy once in a while, the thing would take up 30% of my pack space. :(
Maybe, if I stuffed my sleeping bag in it...:-?

While a big pot EMPTY would take up alot of pack space, fill it up with small food items like coffee, bagged gorp mix, etc. while it's sitting in your pack. When I go on overnight hikes, a bigger pot filled with the next day's food acts like a little critter/bear cannister suspended in a stuff sack from the bear cables...the squirrels/mice can't get at the food stored inside if you have a good tight fitting lid. Dual use! :)

I thought the stove & gas went inside?

They do, but I think that thing would swallow my Pepsi can stove and 12oz. (Gatorade) fuel bottle with a ton of room to spare. It wight still work out though, and if it doesn't I'm only out $13.00.

Oh, I agree completely. We used a 2-liter pot for family hikes, and it was way too big. My wife and I carry a 1.4 liter Snow Peak when we want to cook stuff, or a pair of smaller mugs if all we are doing is boiling water.
But you can't beat the price.
