How can anyone dislike this video. Nicely done!
Thank you Jason! Always appreciate your comments and views my friend. Take care!
That’s a very nice thing to say @jasonFromHuckOutdoors
Well done presentation, thank you for sharing your knowledge with everyone. This information cuts my the learning curve on nesting components.
Hey John, thank you for the kind words. Glad I can help; take care my friend.
GSI makes a plastic coffee cup with a thin outside insulator and also serves as a 2 cup measurer. No more burning the lips for me and its my favorite cup out of all the cups I've tried.
I also have the snow peak stove and MSR Titan cook pot. They are also my favorite out of a number of cook systems I have tried.
Awesome video
Yes. That's a great cup indeed. GSI Soloist, I belive you're talking about? I used one for a bit and really liked it. I'm currently on a JetBoil kick right now. It's certainly not the lightest but for my tired brain at camp its the best option as of late. Happy adventuring!
@@TubaSolotheHiker the only downside to the titan and snow peak combo is it uses a fair amount of fuel. The upside is you can expand variety of meals. Some trips I've been staying in the back country for 10 days and plan to extend it even more this year. The jet boil certainly solves the issue of running low on fuel so quickly. While I still plan to use my Titan I may get a jet boil for the longer backpacking trips. Happy trails to you as well!
New subscriber as well 😊
Nice kit and quality video! I have the SP900 with an aftermarket lid. I never cared for the fry pan lid that came with the pot. In rare occasions I'll bring it if I feel like having eggs or whatever. I also have the Litemax stove.
As far as the net weight of fuel canisters go I refill/top off my 4oz canister from the more economical 16oz canister. This way I start off with a completely full (slightly over-filled 225g gross canister) before each outing. I use the G-Works adapter to transfer fuel from the big canister to the small. Works like a charm.
thks for the closer look at this kettle just what I needed.
Thank you Joe! Sorry it took me so long to respond. I've had a crazy packed schedule August. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask! Take care my friend.
Now I'm ordering the Toaks 550 and gigapower stove to finish out my cook kit. I love the kettle and irst saw pharaoh use and so I bought one. I've been looking for a cup and stove combo that works with it and this is it. Thanks for sharing!!
Hey Steve; Yeah buddy...its a great set to say the least. The 550 bag will need a bit of time to stretch out but once it does this set is hard to beat. But that aint all; if you are into dry baking a 3" Fat Daddios pan with the lip cut off will also nest into this system for a complete cook kit and dry baking setup. Oh baby!
Extremely comprehensive 👍👍👍 Best wishes from London UK 👍👍👍
Thank you for the kind words Alan. Wow...London UK...awesome! Take care!
Possibly the perfect cooking system.
A crown royal purple bag works well too. You could also use it to filter sediment from water if needed.
Hey Jon. Excellent point. I know I had one here somewhere. I need to certainly check out that option. That purple velvet is very nice to boot. Lol..take care my friend.
That's a good fitting kit you came up with. I have to look at the 550 as a second cup. I have the snow peak 900, it's the same dia as the msr pot, so it sound fit the same. Only neg for me is I don't care for the ridge on the bottom of the 550, I like the bottom smooth like the snow peak. Less of an issue if you are just using it for water, but if cooking food the ridge is a pain, cook/clean. I would just use the 550 as a cup, or to heat liquid probably so not an issue. Thanks for taking the time to go over your kit.
Thank you for the kind words flashman. Agreed on the ridge on the bottom; certainly annoying. On the other part of your comment I used to have a SP900 (sold it to a buddy of mine). Check out this video from a while back which had my SP900 as the main pot. th-cam.com/video/he4VcjzQRWQ/w-d-xo.html. Much has changed from back then. Interestingly enough I plan on picking up another SP900. I miss that pot a whole heck of a lot. Take care!
Well done. I used a Svea 123 R for a very long time.
Will this nesting system work with the MSR Pocket Rocket 2 in place of the Snow Peak Giga Power stove?
What's the story? Does it?!!
Great vid. Gave me a lot to think about. 👍🏼
Adam Ashor Hey Adam, thank you for the kind words man. Glad I could help.
Thanks for the great review! I’m sort of OCD so I love the stuff sack idea- a great way to keep things neat and tidy. I just wanted to ask, will this set up work if we use the MSR Titan Mug?
How did I miss this video , well done hip hip
Charlie Gabaldon Hey Charlie, no worries my friend. Thank you for the view and the comment!
Hey there! THANKS! Gonna go for this. I make pour over coffee and the MSR kettle looks better to pour from than the larger Tokes pots. Any experience? And also: could this setup fit a pocket rocket 2 burner? THANKS!
Nice kit and great review ! Do they still sell the snow peak hot lips ? If they do, where ?. Well done and thanks for sharing
Hey Kijika, thank you for the kind words, the view and the comment! Yes you can purchase the snow peak hot lips from many different retailers. Looks like both REI and Amazon are the same price right now$6.95 for a set of two: Amazon: ttp://a.co/9fu8zf5 REI: www.rei.com/product/800044/snow-peak-hotlips-package-of-2
Great review
Thank you Scott!
Best part about those spoons is they don't get cold while your eating like the titanium ones do.......😂
Hey Alex. Thank you for the view and the comment. Yeah for sure man. I love those spoons! Ever since I've switched to that long handle plastic spoon I've never looked back. The only reason I had to buy the never version made by GSI is because I've misplaced my older REI brand one. Take care friend!
The Snow Peak canister gas is the best gas around. It burns clean and strong. They really got their blend right. I have had better results than with MSR gas. The extra gas is a bonus too. Even the label looks better than the competition.
Nesting seems to be fine... My only knock on the MSR kettle is that it doesn't have measurements on it...
Hello there. Yeah this set is a killer little setup. As far as the measurements go, its pseudo accepted that where the handle is pressure tacked to the actual wall of the cup are supposed to be the measurements markings of 1-cup, 2-cups & 3-cups. I took a picture to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. Its not perfect but certainly close enough for backpacking standards you know? Check it out on one of my newer kettles: photos.app.goo.gl/gfIudLzvoWjtiXKE3
@@TubaSolotheHiker That measurement scheme can't be accurate. 550ml is only 2-1/3 cups.
Yes more than 1 pot u need abt 2 cups I might want a coffe or water or hot coco
nice kit
Thank you sir!
This is awesome and I'm totally copying your set-up :'D. Only the Toaks is missing.
Coolness. Thank you for the kind words and hope you enjoy the kit as much as I have! Take care Sofie!
Dude nice set up! what if any kind of windscreen would you normally use with that cook system?
Hey Eric. If you go to my Mt. Whitney video and pause it at 14:46 you'll see the windscreen I use. th-cam.com/video/6hVDAjCm19M/w-d-xo.htmlm46s I plan on doing a video on it because the search for the best windscreen was hilarious but basically its a tall piece of reflectix that I prop up with rocks and roll up and attach to the outside of my ULA Circut backpack.
Hey Steve, aka Nest Master Tuba, in regard to the Giga Power fuel canisters, have you tried refilling them... or any canister? I bought a tank to tank refill adapter from Amazon by G-Works called a GAS Saver Plus, and it has been flawless. Then you get a large "donor" canister of fuel and you're good to go. I can outline in more detail my procedure, but the bottom line is that I always start a trip with a full tank, and that is really comforting. I'm pretty systematic about fuel, and I know after each trip what my daily usage was. I write the weight of a tank, post refilling, underneath with a Sharpie. At this point, I have maybe three 100gm canister, three 220gm canisters, and a bunch of the larger ones that I've picked up from Big 5. Goo three-season Primus fuel that, with coupons, I'm getting for less than $6 per canister.
Hey Rashoop. Yep I've been doing that since last season. Best way to go indeed. I'm loving that G-works. Its saved me tons of money so far.
Bro nice cook set
Hey Joseph! Thank you for the kind words! Take care friend.
you should check out the vargo bot....it has a screw on lid all titanium and 4.2 ounces..
Hey there. Very interesting that Vargo Bot. The titanium version is $90...wow...still very nice though! Excellent suggestion.
cool kit.
Thank you for the kind words. She's my pride and joy when it comes to backpacking. I'm also in the process of learning how to dry bake on the trail. I've found out that a 4" x 3" fat daddios pan (with the lip cut off) also nests into this system quite nicely. So not only can I cook and boil but I'll be able to dry bake all out of the same kit!
Toss the orange bag ad go to 99 cent store and buy a pack of knee high nylons you get 2 sets 4 short stockings and use one to hold your titan kettle BAM!!!!
I also use one of the knee high nylons as a sleeve around my hydration bladder it slips in your pack a lot easier plus squeezes the bladder as you drink
Charlie Gabaldon what do you use the other two for? 🦵 🦵

Does the Toaks fit in the kettle with its lid on? Great vid by the way, thinking of a putting together a set just like this but rather than the gigapower stove think my BRS titanium will take its place. Keep up the good vids 👍
Hello there. Thank you for the kind words and the view. The Toaks 550 does fit in there with the lid. If you were to use a stove that would not allow you to put the lid on top of the 550 (Like the GigaPower) you can always put the lid of the 550 below. Its a snug fit but with the stuff sack everything would stay put, no problem. Now if you are using something like the BRS stove (I'm assuming that's that little tiny stove) you should have no problems also. You might even have enough room to fit everything with the lid of the 550 on top (you might have to invert the canister back to normal position to allow enough room) That would be a pretty nice kit nested into the Titan Kettle.
Tuba Solo the Hiker thanks for the reply! That's great news about the lid, will be ordering shortly.
Nice video. How do you keep your titanium pots clean? my Msr kettle looks stained and terrible.
Hey Paul. That was a relatively new Kettle that I just got, plus I don't use this with any alcohol stoves nor place it in a fire so that may contribute to the overall shininess. Also note that this video was done under a couple of high powered video lights so looks may seem deceiving. Here's what that kettle looks like today. goo.gl/photos/aM9GivZ8M4fMVRWX8
Is that the 550ml toaks sack that the MSR titan fits in, or a larger size sack?
Andrew Conrad Hello Andrew. Yes that is the stuff sack from the Toaks 550ml cup. It did take a bit to stretch out but if you keep it on there it will eventually stretch out enough. I also upgraded the cordage in the baggie as it helps to have some stronger string in there to pull on the stuff sack. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to ask. Take care.
Would the Snowpeak Giga power auto fit in your setup? Nice review. Thanks.
Hello; thank you for the kind words. As far as your question goes my good buddy Matt from YT channel "Lead Me Outdoors" bit.ly/2p7IFHN sent me a few pics as he has the same basic setup but uses a Giga Power Auto. He has confirmed that with this setup a Giga Power Auto would not nest kindly. See pics: goo.gl/photos/jYi9x1zPThWxPCPu7 hope this info helps.
Just noticed I purchased the older version 550 pot. Wander if it will nest with the Titan Kettle. Thanks for the info.
It shouldn’t be a problem. The major change (if I recall correctly) was the lid design. The height and width should still be AOK to work with the Titan Kettle. Take care my friend.
@@TubaSolotheHiker Thanks. Works just fine.
I got the Toaks 2.0 liter pot. Saved $25 over MSR 2.0.
Hello Roger. Yeah man. The TOAKS line of products are great. Really hard to beat. I still use my Toaks 550ml on the regular. Its held up amazingly well. Happy to hear you found something that works for you as well.
Nice nesting job bro.
Hello again! Thank you for the kind words sir!
I like the msr pocket rocket 2
Hey Scott. Yes sir! The Pocket Rocket 2 is a super duper great stove. Excellent choice indeed.
Not all titanium pots are equal. Titanium pots made in Japan usually contain premium, or purer grade titanium (lighter, cleaner, more durable) than those made in Thailand or China which are made with cheaper inferior titanium.
HEINRICXVI Hello. Yeah I know what you mean. Right now I'm using an Evernew set (video coming sooner or later here) and it's been working out great. Lighter, more beautiful looking, more functional etc. I will say though that I've kind of beaten the crap out of my MSR Titan Kettle and Toaks 550 over the last season and a portion of this one and neither pot has missed a step. I guess the stuff is good enough but we'll see how the Evernew set holds up to this seasons exploits. Take care.
I love mine it’s big
Good stuff!
I need to lay all my gear out an decide into ll bean continental and a haversack
Hi, thanks for an informative video helping me decide how to set up my own cook kit:) Does the Hot Lips fit the Toaks 550? I have a msr mug 400ml, do you think the Hot Lips would fit?
Fred Hello there Fred. Thank you for the kind words. Yes, the hot lips does fit the Toaks 55O without issue. It also fits the MSR Titan mug, but with the the Titan mug, you'll just have to make sure that you press down with your lips just a bit when taking a sip as liquid can seep under the hot lips. I've never had it be a problem when I've used the hot lips with my Titan mug, but when it came time to clean stuff, I noticed the underside of the hot lips had coffee residue, so it's something you want to be aware of overall. Take care friend.
Hi, good news, no more burned lips then:) Thank you for the tip too, and for answering the question:)
I use the msr 2 pocket rocket
Thats an awesome stove. I love MSR products.
Just bought the big titan kettle no reviews on the new one
Awesome. Yeah man that big version is something else. Very interested to see it in person. Any plans on make a video of it?
the stuff sack was heavy?
Like a boulder! LOL!
Very nice kit Steve! Almost 12oz is a tad bit too much for my taste, that being said you do have a compelling argument for the worthiness of this kit. take look at my fav'o rite XUL cook kit --> th-cam.com/video/Iq3RJmyqTWE/w-d-xo.html this is my go to kit for totally different reasons. and I will go the Iso/But route in high fire season. I really like that you pointed out the addition 10g of fuel in the Giga bottles (Thumbs up) and I will forever look at the Toaks stuff sacks in a better light.
Great Whitney hike btw.
ATB Don
Bro...I can't compete with that LOL..that kit was crazy light. Very nice setup indeed. I haven't dived into the world of Solid fuel tablets yet for some reason or another I fear them like they won't cut it. How has your experience been with them overall? Pretty good? Would certainly love to know that you like and hate about it. Take care brother!
If I have to carry more than 8 grams total, I wont go, its too hard.
Thank you! You're an inspiration to me! Please make sure to continue to spread your message to others. There are so many that need your help.
Yo Tuba, don't forget to occasionally check your private messages. :)
Hey brother...left you a lengthy message. Good stuff.
Nice kit. You didn't weigh the sack.
William Maurer Hey William thank you for the kind words on the kit. I weighed the stuff sack at approximately 9:57 in the video. It weights .4oz/11grams. Take care.
ever heard of a rubber band
?
copernicus vanstruselclit hello there. Yep a rubber band would work great. Thank you for the comment and the view.
