Since recovering from the shoulder surgery had time to think about things and one I was thinking is like I want a smaller cook kit
Well good old buddy Hickory started using his toque spot and I decided up they were priced, right?
There good size. So I made
Another little cook kit and this is my mini
version which I hope to bring which may change the way I have to eat if I bring a meal like
You know the Texas State Fair chili, I'm not gonna be able to get all the water and all the food
into this small tokes
650 mug with lid
So I would have to boil my water and pour it into the bag which
that's a tough one for me and then put the bag in the cozy a
windscreen which is cut down to fit in there a
fancy bestow a little hot gripper
Which you don't need as much with the titanium and the questionable mental health foster pot
Which is really about an 8 ounce err maybe 9, where's the pot from my other cook kit?
I'll show you here is 16 plus I'd say it's probably 18 ounces. I generally just put 16 in it
You know, so I have a little little bit of room a little displacement room for the cocoa or coffee
The nice thing is with this little tokes
650 pot it's just the cutest little thing comes with a cool little lid and you have a nice little handle on there
And I like that they have these little vent holes
Fits very nicely on the pot
You can see that compared to the hillbilly pot much smaller
but pretty much everything that goes inside is the same as a matter of fact if I want I
Can get my larger foster pot cup into there
Like that, it just had to make a thinner cozy which is uh, you know
Instead of the reflectix which is kind of thick
This is a windshield material and it just made it big enough to cover most of it. Okay?
And I can still put my Fancy Feast stove my hot gripper my one ounce of alcohol
which I'm not going to put in because I want to weight this thing my lighter and
Put that all down into the pot
That's will slip into here
And my fancy feast of my lighters in there and then I put that
Lid on there
So I have my pot my mug my cozies. This is the little
Stuff sack that comes with the toque kind of a thick mushy material
rubbery stretchy
Feeling that will go over the top there and hold that whole thing together
so in this configuration, we got two hundred and fifty-four grams or
Right on the button nine ounces now
we'll add in the bounce of fuel add in this titanium spoon ten point seven ounces three hundred and
four
grams
this one
Used and done a million times this one just thinking about never really tried it as you cook kit looking down from the top
Maybe gives you a little bit more of an idea of the size and volume
This is a new titanium spoon I got which I think that would be hard to break that weighs
0.5 0 of an ounce or
14 grams
My old lexan spoon I've been using forever did break one once but I'm just more careful with them now weighs
Less than half an ounce 0.4
Or 12 grams
well
That was fun for me. Always like looking at a cook kit, you know, it's a real important part of your backpacking experience
I think so different people with different cook kits people that don't drink coffee in the morning, man
They can bring the lightest cook kit just enough to boil water and have their food
They're not worried about that extra water for coffee. They use less fuel. I
Personally I'm gonna have one good 16-ounce cup of coffee and maybe two and I choose to eat my meal
out of a pot most of the time
but if I bring the smaller cook get like a lot of people I camp with me like to eat their meals out of the
Bag and I got that bag. I'm carrying with all that food in it. I
Prefer to eat it out of my pot
Scrape it kind of wash the pot with my finger spray for the spoon pour a little bit more water in there make a bit
Of a gruel and drink those bits down rather than slinging them off in camp and attracting animals
But your cook kit is your cook kit. So you put it together the way you want to it's just the cook kit
I like I've tried other versions
This is what I come back to I'm excited to try the lighter smaller
Version in the warmer weather coming up this next spring or whatever
But for now all secure in Sector seven it shook signing off. I'm a Shriner
Not a miner. I could be a gold digger a 14-9
User gooky it's his turn I would like them
They got their food in it Edwards account
