Finally!
Any titanium pot/cup for hiking/camping is an extreme extravagance, to say the least. To pay $40 for a cup is just sinful. But, it is worth it.
I've been purchasing ultra-light supplies for years, now, one-per-month or so. I'm about done (for two people's ultra-light gear) and this cup nearly finishes a complete set of ultra-light gear.
I had tried making the 'do-it-yourself-pot' where you use a Foster's Beer can, cut the bottom off a Friskie's cat food can to make a flat bottom and it lasted about 2 times until I put it in a campfire to cook some beans and the bottom just popped out making it unusable.
These were the choices I made for desert camping in the Sonoran Desert in all weather conditions. For those creating ultra-light equipment - know that one chooses from a stock of gear depending upon the weather, the wind, whether it's going to rain, etc. My equipment amounts to the following:
BACKPACK:
Backpack (Packable, Small) 4.5 oz (Folds up so I can jettison my big pack and go hiking around my campsite)
Backpack (Packable, Large) 8.1 oz (A few more pockets, I select when I think I'll need to hike with more equipment)
Backpack (Deuter) 2 lb 3.6 oz
Backpack (G4Free) 2 lb 1 oz
Backpack (Archyotyrx) 3 lb 8.8 oz
(These three are my main pack. I choose which one determined by whether I'm going kayaking or hiking and how long I'll be going. The G4Free one is the one I use most of the time)
