In a previous post about Selecting a Cookset, I mentioned I like to keep it simple by carrying a compact canister stove and an aluminum mug. That’s pretty much it.
On a recent backpacking/fly fishing trip, let’s call it flypacking, I took a couple pictures of my setup and posted them below.
Cookset including MSR canister stove, aluminum mug, and waterproof matches
This is my cookset in its packed form. The MSR stove and the matches fit perfectly inside the mug.
Of course what you decide to use may be different depending on your own needs. This setup is good for boiling water to use with dehydrated meals, boiling water for drinking, making coffee, or preparing noodles of some sort. Hopefully I don’t need to say this, but if you use a mug for cookware it will be very hot, so be prepared to act accordingly.
Specific Cookset Items:
- MSR Pocket Rocket Stove
- Aluminum or Titanium Mug ( The Snow Peak Single Wall 450 would work very well. )
- Waterproof Matches
- MSR fuel canister
