Hello Everyone!
This is my first post in here. Please be kind! I am a yet-to-become ultralight hiker!
I am thinking of getting a Trail Designs Caldera system for a soon-to-be-bought Titanium Evernew 1.3L.
I am trying to be as light as possible and the Evernew 1.3L pot will be my system for two-person hiking. Any feedback on that pot?
It is my understanding that this non non-stick titanium pot might not be the greatest choice for real cooking but I will probably mostly use it for boiling water and I do not want to potentially scratch non-stick coatings.
Anyone cook stuff (more than water) in this pot?
For this pot, it is possible to get either a Sidewinder or a Fissure (more expensive) Caldera Ti-Tri system. Both of them should be able to be packed within the Evernew 1.3L pot, tent stake included. I understand the packing philosophy behind the two systems and the fact that the Fissure System might be easier/smaller to "fold" within the pot.
-Any of you have any recommendation as to which system is better?
-Are these two systems using an alcohol stove sufficient to boil water for two persons? (I already have a canister system for longer hikes)
-Does the Sidewinder system leave enough room to store the required tent stakes inside the Evernew 1.3L pot?
-Does the Fissure system leave significantly more room than the Sidewinder system inside the pot to store some other cooking stuff?
-Are the rivets used to attach the two-cones of the Fissure system strong enough to withstand long-term trail usage?
(What if one of the rivets pops-off and render the system unusable? The Sidewinder might be simpler and therefore more fail-safe or am I paranoid?)
Sorry for all these questions. It is a significant investment (for a stove) and I want to make sure I don't have to buy it twice!
Thanks for any feedback,
Minos
