    Default GSI Aluminum Cookset - Need something lighter

    So I have been using my GSI Aluminum Cookset for at least 5-6 years now and it's time to upgrade into something lighter. It seems to be almost identical to the GSI Bugaboo cookest and would love to stay with something of a similar design but maybe titanium. This set has the pot and the lid doubles as a pan (which I use often). Does anyone know of anything out there?

    If you want to know what the bugaboo set looks like here it is...

    My current pot/lid/gripper is coming in at over 13oz.

    Check out this page: http://www.backpackingchef.com/backp...-cookware.html

    I got the Evernew ECA-417 for Christmas and am very happy with it. Warning though, it's hard to find and often out of stock. I think mine was backordered for two months.

    I eat right out of the pot with a lexan spoon (to keep from scratching the non-stick) and use a plastic REI cup that looks a lot like the one in the Bugaboo set.

    While no where near an exhaustive list, here's some measurements I pulled together in a recent discussion on lightest weight Stove/Pot combinations I saved in a Journal Entry, sorted lightest 1st:
    Snow Peak Titanium bowl = 1.8oz (590 ml) - No Lid
    Evernew Titanium Pasta Pot = 3.3oz (700 ml)
    Evernew Titanium Ultralight = 3.4oz (600 ml)
    Stanco Grease Strainer = ~3.6oz (~2,500 ml) - Kmart Grease Pot**
    Evernew Titanium Pasta Pot = 4.1oz (1,000 ml)
    Evernew Titanium Ultralight = 4.1oz (900 ml)
    MSR Titan Kettle = 4.2oz (850 ml)
    Evernew Titanium Ultraligh = 4.6oz (1,300 ml)
    Snow Peak Trek 700 Titanium = 4.8oz (700ml)
    JetBoil Sol (Ti) = 5.1oz (800ml) - Pot+Cozy+Lid
    Optimus Terra Solo = 5.6oz (600 ml)

    Nice list. I have the Olicamp pot and on my scales, 6.7 oz matches the weight just the pot/handles. The lid adds another 1.0 oz. I like the pot a lot, but it's not really UL. I shaved 0.35 oz off the total by swapping the handles with DIY handles made from clothes hanger wire.

    Thx for posting that HKDK. That sure is a nice UL set up if you want an integrated fry pan lid RJ. I like that ECA 417 set up too.

    Although I like my Olicamp XTS, I'm always thinking about lightening my load. I was looking at the Evernew UL Ti Mug Pot (900 mL) ECA267. It is a lot like the MSR Titan Kettle (same diameter), but is a little lighter, yet 1 cm taller with slightly more capacity. Haven't had my hands on one yet. The handles look a bit small.
