Lightweight backpacking cooking equipment

Today’s photo, of my backpacking cooking equipment,  is an illustration for a booklet I am writing about backpacking food. This is my lightweight backpacking cooking equipment I use regularly when backpacking and lightweight camping. I often carry it when I head out to work on a Friday, where I think I will have time in the afternoon when I am finished to go out in the countryside somewhere for a walk and a mug of tea.

It is based around a titanium mug with a lid that I use both as a mug and a cooking pot and a multi-fuel titanium stove. Most of the items will pack in a small stuff sack.

When backpacking the kit goes in an outside rucksack pocket so it is easy to get to for using on the trail.

This article and kit has been updated several times since I wrote this. Must most up to date lightweight backpacking cookset can be found here, with the weights spreadsheet here.
