    Default Does anyone have experience with this piece of cooking equipment?

    Tis the season for Santas in my life to start asking questions about what I might like as gifts. I ran across this:

    https://www.bearminimum.org/products...mama-bear-bowl

    and wonder if it's worth considering?

    The product comes in various sizes. I'm not looking to replace my standard titanium pot from MSR; rather to add something if I have a guest hiker with me (which is an uncommon occurrence). Thoughts?
    Give me a mile of trail and I can show you the forest. Give me a mile of runway and I can show you the world.

    Specs are not lighter than a cheap aluminum pot. Get one that your current pot will nest in and you're all set.

    Looks like it would be a PITA to clean.

    I'd recommend unfolding it, then licking it clean. Save the water and soap!

    Tell them you want another titanium pot :-)

    Use one of these paper bowls for an unexpected guest to heat their water in. The paper won't burn as long as you have water inside:

    You could boil water in a PET waterbottle, too.
