Pros:
Compact, Durable, Light
Best Uses:
Backcountry Camping
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
What Is Your Gear Style:
Comfort Driven
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Didn't know what we were going to need in the way of cookware. Rookies. Bought this because of the price. Most cookware way more expensive. Was happily surprised with it's usage. Mainly used to boil water but also used it to combine a couple of dehydrated meals together. Had some trouble with the handles. Didn't feel secure when picking up but most cookware has the same type system. Very light and durable so far.

Pros:
Compact, Durable, Light, Perfect dimentions
Best Uses:
Backcountry Camping, Day Trips, River, Winter Camping
Describe Yourself:

What Is Your Gear Style:
Minimalist
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I got this pot for one purpose - winter day trips. I wanted a pot that would accommodate a Coleman 'Feather 442' stove for nesting purposes. The stove fits inside the pot absolutely perfect. With the stove full of fuel I can melt enough snow to feed and hydrate a small crowd, which is one of the things I do with our youth club. Wide pots are arguably easier to fill with snow but having my 'kitchen' contained in one compact package was my number one priority. The only thing I have 'against' the pot are the handles. They feel just a bit whimpy for the size of the pot plus they have a little too much flex in the hinge which makes you pause when lifting it off the stove for fear of spilling. I've got other GSI pots and they have non-inspiring handles as well so perhaps it's their trademark. I've been spoiled with a Jet Boil pot which I use for serious backpacking but the dimensions of that pot aren't compatible with the Coleman stove. One additional thing if you're familiar with GSI pots. The lexan lid on this thing is a vast improvement over the metal lids on their other products - it's quiet, fits snug and you can see through it.
