Reddit mentions of TOAKS Light Titanium 550ml Pot (Ultralight Version)

I'd highly recommend going with a Soto Amicus ($40) or Windmaster ($65) instead. The Amicus is really nice and the Windmaster is more deluxe with nicer performance specs. I have an Amicus and love it. It's reliable, wind resistant, efficient, simmers pretty well, light, compact.

Some people here are fans of the BRS-3000 stove but be aware that even though it's even lighter and cheaper, it has terrible wind performance, bad efficiency, takes longer to boil, doesn't simmer very well, has lots of reports of collapsing or just crapping out completely.

Getting one of those stoves along with a nice titanium pot, you'll be much lighter and more compact than a Jetboil. You can choose the size and shape of pot you want rather than being locked into a heavy proprietary one, and you can switch pots which would be nice if you're sharing your stove with other people who have their own mug or pot.

For pots I'd recommend the Toaks 550 Light or 650 Light for their light weight and convenient shape and handles. But there are lots of other great pots to choose from depending on your cooking style.

To give you an idea of weight: my Amicus is 2.54oz, my 550 pot and lid is 2.52oz, for a total of 5.06oz. Compared to the lightest Jetboil which is 12oz.

Jetboils boil water better than almost anything. If you're eating freeze-dried mountain house meals or something, you can't really beat it. Otherwise, they're just like any other canister stove.

If you want something simple/light/cheap, you could get something like:

This BRS Stove and

This Ti pot or a bigger one for more people/larger meals

and a canister

I've been happy with this offering from Toaks.

I'll go ahead and do the math for you.

Toaks 550 pot $30: http://www.amazon.com/TOAKS-Titanium-550ml-Pot/dp/B00CYA26BU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421708767&sr=8-1&keywords=toaks+550

Esbit stove $13.91: http://www.amazon.com/Esbit-Ultralight-Folding-Titanium-Tablets/dp/B002AQET2C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1421708767&sr=8-2&keywords=toaks+550

Toaks spork $11: http://www.amazon.com/TOAKS-Titanium-Folding-Spork/dp/B00GLD8SYA/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1421708837&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=toaks+spork

Toaks windscreen $10.95: http://toaksoutdoor.com/windscreen.aspx

GRAND TOTAL WITHOUT SHIPPING: $65.86

SAVINGS: $65.86 - $48.99 = $16.87

Now let me ask you this. Would you be willing to light $16.87 on fire? If not, you do see the value here.

Light version is in stock here. Ships slow from Israel though. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CYA26BU/

Replace: Flashlights with Nitecore NU25 ($41.95/1.1oz), Pot/cup with Toaks 550 titanium ($30/2.6oz)

Drop: syringe (put a flip sports cap on one of your smartwater bottles, bring only one knife preferably the smaller one, 1 mini bic, repackage bug/sunscreen into smaller bottles.


Change: Fuel canister should be marked as consumable, anything other than actual worn clothing shouldn't be marked as worn (rain pants/jacket). Would help to list out all your clothes individually as well.

You could drop almost 3-4 lbs with those changes for ~ $75. Left the big 3 alone since $$$.

EDIT: Might consider adding a bug net, not familiar with hiking in that area but I know bug pressure can be pretty high. Also might consider a battery bank, I don't see any electronics listed.
