This video seeks to determine “best” backcountry cook kit options for both Fuel Efficiency and Weight Efficiency. It investigates the performance interaction of titanium pots in increasing diameters against stoves of various burner widths, and at 3 different flame levels. It also addresses the performance benefits of using a lid on your pot, and the question of whether a lid is worth the weight to an ultralight backpacker.
