Vargo Titanium BOT 1L (34oz) Ultralight Water Bottle & Cooking Pot - 147g (5.2oz) for Backpacking, Camping & Hiking - Perfect for Outdoor Adventures, Survival Gear & Travel Essentials

I just can't say enough good things about this bottle pot. If you take your adventures and preparedness as seriously as I do, you should really consider this very versatile pot set. I've had a few chances to use it on various stoves, and to pack a very versatile kit with it, so here are the pros and cons based on my personal experience with it:Pros:- Titanium, so it's strong but very lightweight for its size- Has a threaded lid! This is very hard to find in a pot you can cook with (don't cook with the pot lid screwed on!)- Cook with it, or carry water/food/gear with it- Fits in any bottle holder that would fit a 32oz Nalgene bottle- Holds a ton of cook gear and makes an excellent backup water carrier in a pinch- It just looks cool- The lid flips over to be a small cup/bowl, and is used upside down as the pot lid- It's taller than most cook pots, so you can carry non-folding utensils inside- It won't rust. You can clean it with steel wool and not have to worryCons:- The threading is tricky, but if you put the lid on carefully every time, you won't cross thread. After using for a bit, the threads catch better, get smoother, and track better- I wish it was slightly more narrow so it could nest in the same cups that a Nalgene could nest in. I did find a Keith titanium bowl that this pot nests perfectly into, though- I really wish it had folding handles on the side so I wouldn't have to carry a pot holder- Doesn't disperse heat as evenly across the pot as aluminum does- Some have issues with tightening the lid too much when the pot is warm or at higher altitudes, then having it get suction from the pressure change and they can't get the lid offSo there's an easy fix for when the lid gets stuck on the pot due to temp/pressure change. The suction of the pot can be released within 2 minutes by sliding a credit card corner underneath the edge of the visible airtight/watertight gasket. Put the corner of the card between the pot and the gasket just enough to deform the gasket, then let it sit for a minute or two and the pressure will regulate so you can unscrew the lid again. I have yet to have this problem, but when the pot is empty I don't screw the lid down completely snug. Just tighten it enough for the gasket to just touch the pot, then stop. You'll keep your contents inside of your BOT, and never have a stuck lid.I have been evolving the kit that I store in the BOT, and at this point here is my list of gear that I have inside:- BOT itself- Small Toaks titanium gasifier wood burning stove (their larger stove won't quite fit inside)- Vargo titanium pot lifter- BCS micro titanium stove- 4 Esbit fuel cubes (could hold much more)- 10,000 strike ferro rod and steel striker- Light My Fire titnium spork- Still room for more small items such as more fuel cubes and even an alcohol stoveI carry the BOT and a small canister of stove fuel inside of a molle-equipped bottle carrier. In the outer pouch of this carrier, I have a scrub sponge, small bottle of soap, and a folding windscreen. This kit allows me to start out using fuel with the stove/canister, but if I am stuck in an extended situation where I use up all of the fuel, I have the titanium wood burning stove as a backup so I can cook anywhere. If I need to use the pot to carry water, I just dump the contents of the kit into a pocket on my pack and fill it up.The BOT is truly a versatile piece of equipment that should be the part of any survivalist's or backcountry adventurer's kit. It can take a beating, won't corrode, will hold enough water to actually be useful, and it holds a ton of gear.
