>>1223496I went some years ago with the pathfinder set. It's stainless. It's a little weighty I guess but I also don't carry anything else for cooking when backpacking. The tar buildup from direct exposure to the fire is the one thing that sucks. I like that the canteen has a wide mouth. It's also possible to hang it from the mouth because it has a ridged lip inside. The lid is more of a must than I had initially figured for the cup. You can boil so much faster with a cover.
