What is your favorite piece of gear you own, /out/?

Mine is my space saver mug, often i'll forego a mess kit and just bring this, fits a can of chili, 20oz of water, 2 packs of ramen, etc. and it fits on the bottom of a nalgene bottle.

That headlamp is pretty great. I have been using flashlights like a poor person for way too long.

I have a pot and bowl that snug in on each other and have a cover that strings them up. I can fit a mini stove inside. /cosy/

My favourite piece of kit when I'm actually out is usually the stuff I wouldn't care to mention, but water tight compression sacks. Keeps everything tidy and dry (for as long as I can manage anyway).

Not technically a single item, but I use them as one: SOL Escape bivvy and Thermolite extreme liner. Takes up next to no space or weight and gets me down to 40F in shorts and a T shirt, lower with thermals, insanely low if I bring a sleeping bag. Otherwise just these, a GI poncho/tarp and a pad.

I've had it longer then /out/ has existence and the only thing that's worn is the paint and a tiny bit of dull rust inside one of the hinges I can't quite get to or rather. I havnt bothered

Thank you. I'm looking to get my first mug/small pot for solo trips where I would'nt need any other cooking gear or stove, since I always light a fire anyways. Right now I carry a full fucking trangia-set because that's what I have.

well look no further, also consider bringing a lid of some sort if you cook on campfire, it doesn't come with one.

back about a year ago i camped in an area where the soil was almost entirely slate tailings, my alloy pegs got banana'd into uselessness and i almost lost the tent in the night's gales.
i got a bit upset.

these replacement pegs are made out of stainless rebar, bent with an acetylene torch and a cheater bar. they weigh half a pound each. just hefting one makes me smile.

My most common dinner is to boil a bag of brown rice and add a can of chili, its more than enough volume for that. For breakfast its far more than enough volume to boil water for oatmeal packets and coffee in one go.

Also most Mountain House meals just need 2 cups (16 oz) of water so it'll do fine.

I've tried to make the freeze dried stuff according to the manufacturer's instructions and gave up years ago

2 cups of boiling water never sufficiently rehydrates them
I'm sure it's the altitude, so I have a whole different protocol when making those things

Make half of it in a mug. Stir, cover, stir the bottom, and let it sit for 20 minutes or whatever that is in metric time.

Because they weigh 2lbs
I just try save the freeze dried stuff for nights at lower elevations
It's amazing how different 9,000ft is vs. 11,000+. I don't think the relationship is linear

2lbs is a lot.
I’d rather go farther each day, or carry 2lbs more food so I can stay out longer.
Besides, I cook dinner at the end of the day, so it’s not like I have a ton of shit to do.
And there are some meals I just won’t cook when I’m really high
