Weave had the Stanly cook wear over the last 40 years the only failure weave had has been the handle spot welds let go but I finally bolted the handle on . Happy trails
I bought the Zebra Stainless Steel Food Box and Pan with Snap on Lid, 14cm, back in November of 2021, and this pot is excellent. Its two pots in one. Lid locks in place so you can carry stuff inside it. Yes it is stainless steel, so weighs a bit more, but it will outlast me. P.S. at a mile high 5280 feet, water boils at 203 degree's, just so you know.
I love the Pathfinder bush pot I tend to practice more of a bushcraft ideal when I hike. I like modern conveniences but I love practicing old skills. If I don't have that pot and for years I carried the MSR Seagull 1.1 pot and for day hiking it was the Stanley 2 person both are bulletproof fir what they cost
I like the MSR Seagull pots a lot and the GSI stuff isn't bad. Personally I have the MSR 775ml, Firemaple 1.2L pot, Solo brand pots, tons of mil surp mess kits, and lots of titanium pots and vessels. The milsurp stuff is overpriced and more difficult to source these days but there's a lot more commercially made pots, canteen kits and options these days in aluminum, stainless, and Ti. Way better than 5 or 10or 15 years ago. A golden age of options
I have the smaller and larger Stanley sets, the same MSR pot, the Pathfinder pot, and a few others.. the Stanley’s are great for the $, the MSR is very nicely made and it’s more stable on coals/uneven areas, but it is heavy and a lot of the heft is in the lid, its also harder to pack if a canister is going along. The Pathfinder bush pot is my all around favorite when the wife/kid is along.. it holds everything inside, has a bail style handle, and most importantly it pours without spilling. If you care… when I’m solo, I take the Pathfinder Ti canteen set (stupid expensive tho) carried in a Helikon Tex Essential Kit bag molle’d to the side of my Vanquest IBEX 36 with a Geopress on the other side. That allows for two containers, both accessible and ready to drink out of, with one ready to pour right into its nested pot thing. You cant “cook” much in it, instead its geared towards MRE foods. If I’m out more than 1 night I usually take the bush pot too, it doesnt take up much space because its filled with smaller items that would us up the space anyway…
@@gideonstactical oh but there’s more lol… Inside the IBEX with the bush pot is a Sungpak Ionosphere, Jungle XL blanket, pillow, poncho, Klymit Static V + sheet, a FTIM 6x9 loaded with misc essentials, Source 3L low profile bladder, a contoured Guardian 6 (elmax) beside the Geopress on the remaining 3rd molle column, and a Maxpedition FRP with med stuff on the back along with whatever other “toy” I couldn’t live without, and finally a couple of very handy Maxpedition RollyPollys on the hip pads (small & medium sizes, plus their very very cool Rolly backpack thing is usually clipped on for venturing away from camp later). On the front is a Hill People Gear kit bag with a Esse 4 or Guardian 4 underneath. Its all plenty heavy, but I usually only trek in a few miles and oddly the kit bag with a G29 and spare mag counterbalances the pack really well using the lift straps; its like carrying more feels lighter. Thats my spring/fall rig and it allows me to stay out as long as the food and weather lasts, or as long as my phone leaves me in peace. Zero camera gear. ;)
well... got one on order... heard some say the handle comes off... some say works well with Klean Kanteen 64 oz, let's hope... because that's what I'm planning nice that the 1L mark is below the rim so many pot ratings are to the rim which isn't practical also good is the material thickness so much stuff feels like thin foil
Very cool I have the cooking gear from the pathfinder store the small packable grill frying pan,pot ,steel bottle and cups accessories for hanging the steel cups and bottle over a fire and a grabber so you can grab the pots etc out of the fire without burning yourself a couple small ultralight titanium plates a titanium utensil double sided spoon on one side and a fork on the other titanium bowl and straws and an extra titanium cup plus the MSR mini stove with jet boil gas and my 8.8 oz titanium flask for having a drink or 4 love it all really great cooking gear for any outdoor adventure.
Have to agree with you. My gsi stays in my Jeep for mostly boiling water freeze dried meal ramen etc. An the msr is in my dry box for camp setup. I personally prefer the msr If I had to choose just one. Great review man keep it up.
Very helpful video, I have the 700 and something ml MSR pot which is just slightly too small for most of the cooking means I own, the shot you included of the 1.1L pot sealed the deal, guess I'm buying a size up!
I've own Stanley's cups for yrs and unless u live in the woods they last. I've had no issues with the cups themselves with the exception of the small handle on the lids..I haven't heard or seen anyone wear the bottom out yet?
@@gideonstactical @gideonstactical At the price point they ready are bad. But i am interested in one of the other cups that you reviewed. The GSI, looks well built. Also I overlooked to mention. Enjoyed the Vid👍 I'm just on the run 😆🏃
@@gideonstactical Yeah i have the stanley 2 bowl camp cook set and it has a very solid steel bottom withno flex at all, i often use it on the stove top for rice and stuff and no issues, i love that it has the graduation marks on the inside so you know how much to fill it
Very interesting. The original Stanley cook pot, single person, you had a really good review. I own one and it is very nice and well built. Stanley ups the pot size and goes with a major box store to sell it and you end up with a poor quality product. Stick with the original Stanley pot and you will not go wrong.
I have the Stanley pot and I do not like it. The lid slides out when handle is in locked position. Should lock in place like the two cup cook set. The two mugs inside do not fit snugly so contents inside rattle. May pick up the gsi pot. Thanks for the reviews!
always remember,, Backpackers and outdoorsmen do NOT pack ultra light,,, TH-camrs do. that's a fact ., smart backcountry uses pack good quality gear like that MSR pot.. something that wont fail when its critical
I’ve cook a lot of meals in the MSR. It IS heavy but worth it in the long run. I have other cook pots but it’s my favorite. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you have had good experience

It the same model? My understanding this is a new model. I have a few different Stanley’s that have stronger bottoms.

Great review. Thanks for pointing out the thinness of the Stanley's bottom.seems like over time it would bow out not letting it sit flat
No problem! Thanks for watching

I have 3 sizes of the MSR pot, but not their largest, 1.6L. Love them, but they don’t pour liquids very well.
I've own Stanley's cups for yrs and unless u live in the woods they last. I've had no issues with the cups themselves with the exception of the small handle on the lids..I haven't heard or seen anyone wear the bottom out yet?
Yes I have another model from Stanley that has a better bottom. This one seems a little too thin.

The MSR alpine is bomb proof super durable
It sure is, made coffee with it today!

I think that lid vents/holes are essential, IMHO. I've had lids pop off while boiling water too many times.
Good review 👍🏻👍🏻
I just dug it out and can not find anything thing readable on it but it is old. happy trails
Any American made options?
All over $100.00 in Australia
What!!! Dang

That MSR Stowaway isnt a great pourer. Reviewers should pay attention to pouring aspects of cookware.
Bought the GSI... But Jesus Christ the handle get hot!!! So hot you can't hold it...😂🙈
