Need a 1 person system/pot

[Chubbs4U]

I have a MSR Reactor. Little big for 1 person. Looking for a 1 person set either with a stove or not. Something light and small, can include a plate, pan, lids, whatever. Been doing a lot of looking and wondering what other people have.

[Tinker]

This is what I carry:

I like the capacity of the pot - I can have a very large meal and not spill it while stirring. The cup can put directly on the stove or by the campfire to keep my coffee hot on cold mornings.
I substitute a canister stove for 2 or more people, and for short trips I often use Esbit tabs instead of alcohol.
The large pot is an Evernew 1.3l ti, the cup is the large one from a Snow Peak set, the windscreen is ti foil from www.backpackinglight.com, the spoon is an old MSR ti unit, the scorch plate (for under the stove so I don't burn the wood surfaces I sometimes use) is the bottom of an aluminum pie plate, and the cozy is homemade from an old ccf pad. The set weighs 10-1/8 oz. with the coffee filter.

I use the GSI soloist kit. It's pretty simple but all I usually do is boil water or noodles. Just a decent size lightweight pot with lid, a bowl/mug thing with an insulating band that can be removed, and a sporkish object.

second the gsi soloist. a pocket rocket and a 4oz canister of any brand of fuel will fit in there, so you can have all your cookery stuff in one pot. i love mine, wouldn't trade it for the world.

I did look at the soloist but a guy said in a review to spend the extra $10 and get one of the dualists (pinnacle or microdualist). These are the ones Ive been thinking and GSI has 3 or 4 I like.

Also does it matter if you get a non stick bottom?

I enjoy my GSI Halulite Minimalist solo. I can nest my stove,matches,spork,pot gripper,and sleeve. HS

The Caldera Cone system seems to be fairly popular.

GSI Soloist and a Pocket Rocket works well for my needs...boiled water for meals and coffee.

I have a one liter MSR pot - if I'm careful adding water, i can cook a whole box of mac n cheese in it - it doubles as a big coffee mug and weighs about 3 ounces. My windscreen folds and goes around the inside, then, I stuff a ziplock down in it that has a sponge, a tiny piece of Dr. Bs soap, a a little MSR tong, and my hanging cord - very light, compact and complete. The whole thing goes in a little mesh bag that will also keep my pocket rocket on top.

I carry a Markill Hotshot stove and an Evernew Titanium pot with frying pan lid. Worked great for me and was a compat kit.

I use the Supercat alcohol stove (see Tinker's photo above). I used to use a KMart grease pot and was very happy with it, but recently picked up the GSI kettle and the improvement in boiling efficiency is amazing.

Snow Peak 600 mug/pot, titanium esbit wing stove, foil windscreen, foil pot lid, small foil circle for base of stove, long handle lexan spoon. Add however many esbit tabs needed and be done with it. Very light, very simple, and foolproof (for me).

I went from an MSR Cascades SS Cookset in the 80's to an aluminum coated MSR Blacklite set inthe 90's, to a Greasepot and then to this nifty Snowpeak set.
I really like this Ti Snowpeak Set for $40

[Praha4]

I have a new MSR Quick-1 titanium cookset I will sell for $40. Never used.

Here's the link to info. Sells for $58 new.

You can have your Heneken can set up! Snow Peak TI Mini Solo pot w/ collapsible folding handles, lid, and nesting cup with foldable REI TI spork that fits inside!!!

That Snow Peak Mini Solo kit is the ONLY ORIGINAL PIECE OF HIKING GEAR, other than me, that has survived hiking in multiple countries, 7 backpacks, hiking in 44 states, thru-hikes of the AT, PCT, almost all of the CDT and over 10 other long distance thru-hikes/trails, untold number of bushwacks, has served up countless trail meals, cumulatively with over 15,000 trail/hiking miles, and who knows how many non-hiking traveling miles on planes, trains, buses, boats, cars, horses, llamas, etc

That Snow Peak Mini Solo Kit, with only some blackened areas on the outside of the pot, IS THE BOMB! You can have your Heneken can set up! Almost brings tears to my eyes thinking about where that pot has been!

Tom Hanks had Wilson the volley ball. I have Peak Snowy the TI cooking pot!

I have a Tibetan titanium 700ml mug/pot, Tibetan titanium wing stove (Esbit), aluminum flashing wind screen, and home made pot cozy. Total weight 5.84 oz.

I just thought I'd post a link to the canister stove I use when I need more cooking power (colder weather or multiple hikers).

I was most impressed by the Backpacking Light stunt where they threw several canister stoves over a cliff and this was the only usable one of the bunch after the fall. It isn't great in high winds, but it's more stable (because it sits lower and has more sturdy pot supports) than the PocketRocket, which I sold to buy it. The flame pattern is also broader than the one on the PR, so it's less likely to burn food in the middle of a pot (especially a thin titanium one).

I have a MSR pocket rocket and a SnowPeak 700 works well for me.
