Review on Titanium Backpacking Cooking Camping Cookware by Adam Allard

Great pot/cup and essentials

I've gotten this for my wife since she started taking me on my hikes. No measuring lines/scales - Titanium plate - Handles Scope of delivery: - 1 x TREKOLOGY titanium pot/cup - 1 x lid - 1 x titanium folding spatula - 1 x heat-resistant silicone finger glove - 1 x titanium plate - 1 x plastic container for fuel - 1 mesh carrying bag - 1 nylon bag (for stove). x 3.15 inches in diameter. The jug/cup weighs approximately 2.34 ounces. The lid measures approximately 3.15 inches in diameter and weighs approximately 0.76 ounces (3.10 ounces combined). The mesh pouch weighs about 0.38 ounces. The silicone glove is heat resistant and weighs approximately 1.2 ounces. The titanium plate measures approximately 1.7" x 2.8" and weighs approximately 1.6 ounces. The fuel tank holds up to 30 ml of fuel. Basically, what I love about this pitcher/mug is that it's titanium. Titanium was quite expensive when this type of gear was introduced a few years ago. But it's come down in price a bit, and it's relatively cheap to buy now. Titanium is very light but very strong. So he's perfect. for hiking. The jug/cup appears to be of good quality. The foldable spork is also great as it is made entirely of titanium. In the past I've bought cookware that is half titanium with a stainless steel handle. I appreciate that everything is titanium which makes it as easy as possible. If these are your first cons or you are new to hiking. Do yourself a favor and do it. You will not regret it. Titanium is strong, thin and light. It might seem like it doesn't matter much on the track. but it really is. What I didn't care about about this product was the stove top. I was hoping this would work. but the design didn't look like something that could be used on camping trips. This was confirmed in the test. The oven is difficult to start and takes a long time to heat up. They had to be in an almost calm wind for this to work well. I ended up trying to test it in my garage as it wasn't possible outside. Also in the garage, with windproof cardboard. They were still difficult to use. Anything that needs such protection just to keep the flame going is not worth considering. I failed my stove test. It's just a useless outdoor stove if you have to install windshields just to make it work. I went to my Goto stove which lit up immediately and I was able to complete the pot/cup test. The lid of the mug has no ventilation holes to allow steam to escape. While this wasn't a deal breaker by any means, it was an easy fix with a drill and something. There's also no scale or measurement lines in the pot/cup, making it easy to measure on the trail. Again, no deal breaker, just convenience. The handles on the pot/mug have no resistance in the holder, so they tend to rattle a bit in the backpack if not packed properly or moved while camping. Finally, while spork is good. It has no locking clip to prevent accidental folding of utensils during use. In my testing it didn't hold any food, but then again. just another common feature of most modern devices that is absent. I could not find any guarantees in the product information or in the product description. I received this product in exchange for an honest review. Overall, this is a decent titanium pot/mug and spatula. Well made, light. Though it lacks the handy features found in most similar products these days. There are small details that I feel the manufacturer just didn't think of that would make this all-in-one better. From the rather useless hearth to the absence of any scale lines. For the price you could find something better. However, his salvation is a pot/cup and a spork. I thought they were well made but you can find a pot/cup and spork for a lot less. Because it fails miserably as a complete mess kit. This product is made in China.

Pros

Cons
