"I purchased this bundle mainly for the kettle, and the price for everything was equal to just buying a kettle. However, I found the pots and frying pan were off balance on my propane burner, so I returned it and bought the kettle separately. It did pack down nicely, but it just wasn't what I wanted."

"I've had the Stanley Adventure cookset for a while, and I loved it. When I saw the new Wildfare design, I was skeptical about any improvements. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The Wildfare is slightly larger with increased capacity in both the cookpot and cups. The new lid design fits better and has a great lid lifter. It fits my small stoves perfectly and can even fit into my Glacier style camp mug for extra storage. It's not the lightest option, but for functionality and build quality, it's fantastic!"

"This pot is perfect for my needs! I required something that could be used over coals and fit over my 40 oz Klean Kanteen bottle.

"I was thrilled with my old 2 cup cook kit, so I bought the upgraded version. Although I haven't used it yet, I love how it feels—lighter, larger, and less prone to tipping.

"I find the pot to be a simple and well-designed piece of gear for camping. It's not the lightest option, but it's definitely heavy-duty. It pairs perfectly with my wood-gasifier stove! Shipping was quick, and I would highly recommend this product, especially if you have the stove."

"I bought the MSR Stowaway Pot 1.6 L for my family of five. It's well made and the locking design ensures the lid stays tight. I love that it fits perfectly with other pots I have. The 1.6 L size is great for cooking family meals, and I appreciate the ruggedness of stainless steel. Overall, it’s a fantastic cookset!"

"I've purchased two of the Alpine Stowaway Pots over the years, and they are nearly indestructible. They might be a bit heavy for long backpacking trips, but they are perfect for camping. One suggestion would be to have a pouring spout for easier liquid handling. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product!"
