Cooking Gear and Water\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Total weight in ounces:\u00a0 42.1\u00a0 \u00a0Total weight in pounds:\u00a0 2.6 pounds<\/p>\n

MSR Reactor stove<\/a>\u00a01 liter pot, gas canister, fire steel and small pack cloth.\u00a0 22.5 ounces
\nThe MSR Reactor is the most powerful stove I know of.\u00a0 It easily outperforms the popular Jetboil stoves, particularly in colder conditions or wind.\u00a0 It doesn’t simmer, it’s really only good for boiling water or melting snow at full blast.\u00a0 Since that’s pretty much all I’m doing when I hunt, it’s my stove of choice.<\/p>\n

MSR Dromlite 3 liter water bag with hydration tube\u00a0 \u00a06.1 ounces\u00a0 This is a decent, lightweight water bag.\u00a0 I prefer water bags to bottles, because a water bag doesn’t make much noise.\u00a0 Half empty water bottles tend to slosh and make noise when you’re walking around.<\/p>\n

MSR Trailshot<\/a>\u00a0water filter.\u00a0 \u00a0 5 ounces\u00a0 This is my back-up option if I can’t find water that is clean enough to just use my chlorine dioxide tablets with and need to filter water with lots of sediment or other dirty stuff in it.\u00a0 It’s small and compact, and doesn’t weigh much.\u00a0 \u00a0Performance so far has been fine.<\/p>\n

Titanium spoon in bag.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>\u00a00.5 ounces<\/p>\n

Wilderness Dining pouch cozy<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a01.8 ounces\u00a0 \u00a0This is used to put your freeze dried meals in, after you’ve added the hot water.\u00a0 It keeps them hot while the meal is re-hydrating.\u00a0 Especially useful at higher altitudes and colder temperatures, it ensures that your meal re-hydrates before your water cools down.<\/p>\n

Ursack Minor critter proof food bag<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a02.7 ounces\u00a0 Better known for their bear proof food sacks, this company makes this lighter weight bag that keeps out small critters.\u00a0 Useful for storing food in while you are away from your camp.\u00a0 It is insurance against coming back to camp and finding that squirrels or marmots have eaten all your food.<\/p>\n

Chlorine Dioxide water purification tablets.<\/a>\u00a0 1 ounce\u00a0 Very lightweight water purification option.\u00a0 Minimal chemical taste to the water, provided you let it sit for about an hour.\u00a0 I hate pumping filters, so this is my go-to method of purifying my drinking water.<\/p>\n

Titanium cup with lid.\u00a0\u00a0(Evernew 500ml Mug\/pot)\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>\u00a02.5 ounces.<\/p>\n
