COMPLETE COOKSET
o you’re going
on a multi-day
walkabout
and don’t fancy foraging
raw food from the land?
At some point you will
need to cook... and that
means fire. You could
go all Ray Mears and
start rubbing sticks
together, but we think
you’ve evolved a bit
further from early man
than that.
Well, why not spark
up this ultra-lightweight
one-person cookingsolution? The 27g setup
has a canister-top stove,
a windshield, a 600ml
cooking-pot-cum-mug,
an insulated sleeve
to avoid burnt fingers,
a silicone gripper and
even a telescoping
foon (which is the same
thing as a spork, as
far as we can tell) that
won’t melt and go
floppy while you’re
stirring your mountain
goat stew.
All that plus a 110g
nesting fuel canisterfits into the 12cm-high
cooking pot, taking up
little more space in your
pack than a tin of beans.
That small pot means
you won’t be rustling
up triple servings of
chilli, but it’s perfect
for a fuss-free speedy
solo feed.
Just make sure you
keep it away from your
tent, or you might find
the flames leave you
homeless for the night.
