Schalk Cronjé

I fixed two pieces of MSR cookware today.

The first was the little rubber grab on the the lid of a MSR 2lt Trail Lite pot. It broke off one day, making it difficult to lift the lid up. After roughing up the rubber I managed to glue it back. I think it will hold.

The second is on the older model of the Titan 900ml kettle. It is not insulated and one needs to wear a glove when lifting if off the stove. I added make-shift rubber handles. I boiled a pot of water and then seem not to be affected when using a Pocket Rocket stove.

I realised I only have MSR cookware nowadays:

- Titan Kettle 900ml
- Trail Lite 2lt
- Alpine Cookset (1.5lt + 2lt + lid & handle)
- Skillet
- Stowaway 1.1lt

What I take depends on the number of people in the group & the stove.

The Titan Kettle is the only think that fits well on a Pocket Rocket. When the Trail Lite's handle is unfolded it is too unstable on a Pocket Rocket.

So everything else goes with a Whisperlite Universal or a WindPro.

The skillet is only used for trips where we plan to fry something - it is rarely used.

I am not a fan of the Trail Lite. It is a deep pot, but it does not fit well with the kind of food we cook on trail.

The Stowaway is great. I made a pot cozy for it. It's great to cook rice, dried veggies etc.

The most versatile to a group up to 4 is the Alpine Cookset. Sometimes we only take one of the two pots, but it's dependable, nearly indestructible and holds heat well in the cold.
