I bought the MSR pot and almost took it back to REI because the handle would not snap onto top of the pot. I did the same thing you did, wondered what the little 'useless' crimps on the edge of the lid were for. THEN, I watched your video, and was like, I have a Masters degree in science, and still did not see the obvious, the handle does snap down, OVER the crimps, and hold the lid on in storage. So you saved me a lot of trouble and now I really like the MSR pot, lol
Thank you for this video! I had the MSR Duralite pot for over a decade (bought it in college) and the coating started to peel. I love MSR and this video got me to purchase the Ceramic Pot. Thank you for the informational video and bloopers!
Been looking at these two pots for ages and this was by far the best video I've found about them. Great job - love the detail! Deffo gonna check out more of your videos.
@@SeniorHiker77 Could I ask one question? What size gas canisters would you say you could fit in these? With the Sea to Summit being a touch taller, could it fit an 8oz gas canister do you think?
That is one of the disappointing things about both these pots. The 8oz canisters will not fit in either. The canisters are just a tad bit to tall. You can fill the dead space up with many knick-knack items. Hope this helps. 👌
Hello we hope all is well with you and Mike p.. great tips about the sports cap they are handy little things. Thanks for sharing . Stay safe my friend Love and Light Sarah and Glenn
Thanks for that smart water cap trick on the Sawyer! Also,Croc's makes a lighter like you were showing and I got a couple from Amazon.....been using them awhile so as not to burn the fingers............
Great review, much prefer the real life reviews instead of a workshop review so thanks. You've also saved me some money as watched your review of the Evernew Pot, defo think I'm gonna get the MSR one - many thanks from the UK, Mike
The Sea to Summit has a product recall in the USA. If you contact them, they will send you the kit to correct the issue with the plastic locking mechanism.
I like that non-stick coating on the MSR...I've got one of their pans. Just an FYI...I may have gotten it too hot. The ceramic coating seems to have flaked off in the center. Still working, but maybe not as non-stick in that spot.
Thanks for the review! just got one of these? How did you season yours? And as a side note, We're about the same age. I backpack in Va and WV, usually solo because I don't have any friends crazy enough to go with me! Keep up the great tips and reviews and maybe I'll see you on the trail someday.
Well, I have the issue with finding hiking buddies. Fortunately, I've developed many friends who hike the PMT, but they are not always available. available. As a side note, I'm 83. Lol
That app Relive is interesting to see where the actual hike was. It's ok to admit that you just want something new.😉 I myself is buying gears way more than I need. 👍
Those bloopers told a more complete story about that brand of pot maybe, still, I liked that the eggs didn’t stick. The bic lighters burn my thumb too. Thanks Senior.
I've threw away at least 6 non-stick frying pans at my house after a few uses because they would really stick. I'm hoping this one works a little longer. Thanks for your comment and for stopping by. ATB
Thanks for the video, I look forward to seeing a long term review of the MSR pot. I have been looking for a solution in carrying just one item instead of carrying a pot and a pan. Have you looked into a arc lighter or plasma lighter? I will be doing a review soon, but it could also be a good option, I always have problems with bic lighters when it is cold.
No Darren haven't check the arc lighter out but the bic ez reach looks cheap enough. My brother-in-law MikeP Hiker has told me about a Trangia 6" frypan that's 2" high that might work as a 1 pan solution. I'm going to check that out soon. ATB
Nice job in showing us the differences of the two cook pots. I wonder though how good the ceramic coating would last if the pot took tumbles in the pack on a long hike. Do you think it would splinter or shell like enameled ware? Being practically non stick is a good feature. Cheers!
I have the same concern so I use a pack towel to line the inside while hiking. As far a wear and tear time will only tell and I'll do an update later after many uses. Thanks for your comment Bernie. ATB
Cool reviews, tricks of the trade, and a Kardashian tree. Good stuff. 😂 that app looked pretty cool for tracking your hike. Too bad it fouled up on you. Cool video. Take care and have a great week.
I have all the razoo titanium pots. Ended up with Dixie's advise and went with the Stanco grease pot. (Modified) You can cook with it on a fire and is only $6. I had to sand off the paint off the bottom to keep it from falling off. Added a stainless hookeye to the lid and woolah hands down the best cook kit I own.
Yes I have the Stanco Grease pot from Walmart just like Jessica. That was when I realized that was the right size pot for my kind of hiking. It would be so much cheaper with that pot. Lol
After doing the research on your ceramic frying pan, I think that I am going to get this MSR Pot instead. Since it has the lid and will provide more space for other items as well. Does the fuel canister fit inside?
Both good pots Senior Hiker. Maybe it's time to ditch the old relic 😂 We have used a Tangia for many years. But I like the idea of the ceramic coating in the pot. I am sure the cooked food tastes better in the ceramic pots. Great tips. Senior Hiker. Have a great week. Happy Hiking..Loved the Big Rock Cascades.
Okay, that Sawyer Squeeze hack is absolute GENIUS!! It also will be cleaner! I always worry that my dirty hands will contaminate my water. Now THAT'S a Kardashian tree! 😄 That app is awesome too. Love it! 👍👍 Funny bloopers! 😆
I figured you would like this one. I felt like to much talk on the back porch. I thought I was tracking the 2nd day all 5 miles and it would have been awesome but when I got home I forgot to take it off pause. BUMMER!!! This weekend will try again. 😘
@@SeniorHiker77 Thank you. That is good to know! I saw your review of the 1100 Toaks pot. Wondering if it can fit an 8 oz fuel canister and a pocket rocket deluxe.
Nice video as always .... great tips on the Bic lighter (looks like I have a dollar store trip coming up 😂) and the smart water bottle cap on your sawyer filter👍👍 Also Your ‘Relive’ segment came out awesome .... thanks for sharing your trip hope you and the family had a Happy Thanksgiving ATB Dave Mc
Good review. I nearly pulled the trigger on the Sea To Summit 1.2L based on your experiences with it. Did you find cleanup with the MSR ceramic pot easier? Are you thinking you may fully transition over to the MSR?
No not transitioning over yet because I've had many negative issue with non-stick frying pans at my house. I'll do an update later after a few uses. I think both these pans are good. I'm also looking at a Trangia 8" frying pan that's just about 2" inches high so I can cook and boil with just one pot. Never ending story. Lol
Love the music 🎶👍👍😁😁 I literally paused in the middle of the video to write this comment 😁😁. (First time viewer and now you're most recent subscriber 👍👍)
It looks like a really good (right-handed 😂) pot! 😁👍 This relive app is pretty good! It gives a good idea about the trail you follow! 😁 Have a great day! Kaatje
Thanks Kat there is no right handed pot. The 2nd day Relive didn't work I was so disappointed because I wanted to see the elevation of that 5 miles. Oh well next time, of course it was operator error. Lol
@@SeniorHiker77 In Relive you can import also a gpx-file that was registered by another app. But then you need to register it of course in the other app.... I tried importing a gpx file I made online, but that doesn't really work... A shame, otherwise you could show routes you plan to walk of walked and didn't register that way... 😁 You'll get better at using it! All the best! Kaat
Merry Christmas! Thank you for the great video.👍 84 I hope you finish 2021 well, I wish you all the best in the new year of 2022. Let's communicate often.

I'm glad that the video was helpful. The MSR Ceramic Pot is still my go-to pot when cooking sides dishes.
Outdoor food tastes special. There was a beautiful waterfall at the end.

I'm still using my msr pot. No problems. Recommended and Senior Hiker 77 approved. Lol
Been looking at these two pots for ages and this was by far the best video I've found about them. Great job - love the detail! Deffo gonna check out more of your videos.
I love these pots use them on my overnighters. Not to long a hike so can cook various sides. Thanks for taking time out to comment.

After a few uses I'll do and update.👌
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Great and thanks you for stopping by and taking time to make a comment.

Thanks jerryj b, I just took a look any they look very similar, thanks for the information. ATB
what a great way to spend the weekend after thanksgiving! That is 1 way to work off the meal!
Didn't have to work off a meal just my wife and I and TV turkey dinners works for me. No mess no clean up. Lol
@@SeniorHiker77 NICE!

The MSR Ceramic pot is still my go-to pot. I've had and used it for many years. It's still like new, no blemishes.
Relive worked! Nice hike and real world review. Sausage and eggs!! Right up my alley 👍 Funny bloopers 😂
Thanks HF but the 2nd day 5 mile hike I didn't take it off pause so didn't get anything but next weekend will try again. Lol
The Sea to Summit has a product recall in the USA. If you contact them, they will send you the kit to correct the issue with the plastic locking mechanism.
Thanks C it's a pretty easy fix.
Love when you say you could rock that pot! What a great gear hack using a sports water bottle cap on the sawyer!🙌🏼 great find Mike P Hiker! Who knew?
Thanks RVA for a thoughtful comment.ATB

@@SeniorHiker77 no problem and thanks for the nice review. Hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday season!
You're a national treasure my good sir! Thanks for all the videos
Enjoy the hike, stay safe and a great review to boot!
Always some good information 77... Good bloopers my friend!
I hope it wasn't to long for you Max. Lol
@@SeniorHiker77 It was within my attention parameters... LOL
Thanks for sharing your pot comparison- I have a msr pot that I like - but it’s always good to keep an eye out for new gear! Your food looks yummy!
I like the nsr ceramic pot as of now. ATB

Great tips my friend. I love my MSR cookpot. I do cook bacon in it. Use that cook pot every winter.
Thanks Jason I started liking this pot more and more. ✌
You have to love those right handed pots
Yes that made me laugh at myself while editing. Thanks Wiley.😀
Great video !
Very good reviews, interesting tips, nice cooking and it's always pleasant to follow you on a hike.
Thanks Roni Bee. I appreciate your comment and support. ATB
Haven't seen a BIC Lighter like that but I have got some similar. That pot sure did do a good job at being non stick.
The pot was used for the first time let's see how long it works as non-stick. Lol
Loved this video. It was a potful Of information and entertainment. Thanks for the info on the pots. Very helpful!
Alway nice of you to comment much appreciated Mark. ATB
Really love the non stick pot and the bloopers😂, Another great review!
감사함니다 Becca. ㅋㅋㅋ
That app Relive is interesting to see where the actual hike was. It's ok to admit that you just want something new.😉 I myself is buying gears way more than I need. 👍
Lol true I buy what I want at my age. But that App has a free version or a 30 day trial, that's what I choose.
Those bloopers told a more complete story about that brand of pot maybe, still, I liked that the eggs didn’t stick. The bic lighters burn my thumb too. Thanks Senior.

Good tips/hacks, thanks SR77!
You certainly welcome and thanks for stopping by.ATB
I like that app. I can’t keep up with all your pots. Enjoyed the video. Looked cold. 👍
I am now looking at a Trangia 6" frying pan that's 2" tall. That sounds like can use for boiling and frying. Lol
Thank you
Glad you stopped by.ATB
Watching those eggs come out, it really is non-stick. That would make for easy cleanup in the woods. Love the bloopers Senior. Atb, Tony
Thanks Tony I want to see if those eggs come out that easy after a few uses. Thanks Tony for your comment.ATB
Watched this twice, forgot to comment the first time 😂 really good pot.
Don't worry H2BH you could have just given me a heart that all I need just to know you didn't forget me. Lol 👌
