Review on 🏕️ Snow Peak Trek 700 SCS-005T - Japanese Titanium Pot, 0.7L Ultralight & Compact for Backpacking, Camping & Hiking, Made in Japan, Lifetime Product Guarantee by Bill Russett

As part of a general travel cook set I think the Trek 700 strikes an extremely good balance of lightness, ease of use and portability. In my scenario, a typical trip would consist of 3-5 nights, eating mostly packaged camping meals and coffee in the morning. Instead of lugging around a much larger pot, I chose Trek; The main reason is that I only boil water to rehydrate my food and coffee. The Trek is absolutely the perfect size for these purposes. 700 ml is enough to rehydrate food and a small cup of coffee. But there are other benefits beyond capacity: the Trek 700 can hold and stand in a 100-gram can of gasoline, as well as a cooktop. When using the Snowpeak Spork it fits into the lid's grommet making the overall package extremely compact. The Trek 700 also fits the Jetboil coffee press (and optional Jetboil lids) and ALSO fits the fuel and stove. You can use a compact stove like the BRS-3000T or the Snowpeak LiteMax very efficiently. While the output flame of these stoves is generally too narrow to cover the bottom of a large pot, they are essentially perfect for storing and heating the Trek 700. As a result, the entire kit is very compact and lightweight. There are two downsides. ', but that's partly down to preference: - The cap is useless to me for now, but my issue with this is that it just sits on the rim, not fixed around it, meaning it shifts in transit. It's also quite heavy on the lid, although that probably doesn't matter unless you're the kind of ultralight backpacker who shaves the weight off by using thinner socks. You can use a Jet Brew lid though, which helps as you can also use it with a jet coffee press and it also offers lip protection (so you don't have to use Hot Lips Snowpeak). Sometimes I take it with me, although I find that the comforts of home are sufficient for most use cases. The handles actually feel weird to me when "unfolded" as they spread my arms quite wide. I've seen some people fix this by using a different set of knobs and adding some heat resistance tubes to them, but I left mine as is. What I did was remove the lid and create a snug (top and bottom) reflection. I carry my coffee maker, gas can and BRS-3000T stove in it (I can't fit my favorite spoon, the Toaks Long Handled Titanium Spoon, so I keep it separate, which I also really appreciate - recommended to eat from packs by the way). I boiled a full pot of water, added a little to the meal, then poured ground coffee into the pot and set it in the pan for 3 minutes. Then I stir, use a coffee press and pour into a small mug or just drink straight from the coffee pot. Perfect. If you like variety in food or just enjoy cooking, then you might want to consider a real pot rather than Trek's 'big mug'. The Trek is pretty good for one-person packs of ramen and soups given its size, but obviously less so if you're trail fishing or feeding more than one person, for example.
