Poyke pot, backpack

Anon Fri 24 Jun 2016 19:58:06 No.800819 View View Reply Original Report

Hey guys

So, I am planning on buying a poyke pot (Mostly for 1-3 persons meals), what size you think I should get?

Also, what backpack (size wise) I should get for long thru-hikes (tens+ kilometers) - I gonna need to carry water, food, stove, sleepingbag, some clothes, maybe a tent (but that I can tie to the pack) and other shit. 55L will be enough? I dont wanna carry something too big if it isnt necessary

Hello OP,

For the pot I would go for a bigger size as I guess you will use it in your base camp (not carry it around all day). Then weight is not the primary concern. Having it little big bigger gives you versatility.

55L is what I have also. I envy my friend for his 65 as it looks more suitable to our climate and conditions (Finland).

Have fun!

Actually my concern with the pot is the price. These poyke pots are expensive af, I mean way too expensive for an iron pot (60$ for a 4L pot, I think, and up to 110$ for 6-7L pot)

Is there a difference between these and a cast iron dutch oven?

I have a dutch oven that i use for soups and stews. I can hang it above the fire or put it on coals.

What makes this pot special over my 20 dollar cast iron dutch oven?

Well, there is no difference, I guess. Only problem is that I won't be able to find a dutch oven in my country.. never seen one..

More opinions about the pack?

the general rule of thumb with potjies is your first one will be too big and each one you buy afterwards will be smaller that the previous. maybe you can buck this trend. potjie pot is superior to the dutch oven due to longer legs. my smallest pot (3/4) holds 2.5L and can be bought to a boil with just a handful of kindling placed directly underneath, hard to do with short-leg pots.

What country do you love in? I figured that dutch ovens of one sort or another existed everywhere.

>pack?
if you're going with #6 potjie or larger you'll need a wagon or pack animal. I would pick the #2 potjie or smaller for a party of three.

No no, the pack I am talking about isnt for carrying the pot.
