| An excellent value in a large pot. It's lightweight - especially considering its size - and very practical for use on short or long trips with larger groups. This is large enough to cook substantially-portioned meals (for 3-4 or more), but is still small enough to fit easily inside a backpack. Good for storing food and other stuff in a pack or when hanging food in a bag/net at night (but take care to make sure the lid does not slip to the side and expose the contents). Like any aluminum pot, it will withstand a fair amount of abuse, get dented and a little mishapened (just bend it back!), and maybe a little scorched from cooking on an open fire - in other words, it'll gather some character - and still serve its purpose for many years. It's also inexpensive enough not to worry too much about getting a little (or a lot) banged up, either. The price of titanium will have to come down a lot to equal this pot's weight and value. This is an "old school" keeper. | |

| this is a great basic pot. it's aluminum, not titanium, so you know it isn't the lightest thing out there, but totally servicable. i like that the lid sortof snaps into place so it isn't constantly slipping off. it's not too tight though so you are able to take it off without spilling anything. the only thing i don't like about it, is that the two tabs that the handle fits into stick out above the top of the pot. this means that when it's in your pack, things can't sit perfectly flat on top of the pot. i have an older pot that my dad gave me that is pretty much identical, except that the tabs are level and i don't have this problem with it. | |

| Thetitanium pot, while nice, is 19% heavier than the 15$ aluninum 4L pot (#401068)and 600% (6X) more expensive. The nonstick finish is nice, but backpacking takes a toll on such luxuries. The aluminum pot can be scrubbed out with sandy water. They will both dent when your buddy throws fire wood at them. I don't understand why they put a heavy steel handle on a titanium pot.Aluminum pot(#401068, 15$) pot=294g/lid=78g = 372gtitanium pot (#764180, [$])pot=338g/lid 103g = 441gNeither hold 4L, both about 3L max useful volume. 3.5L overflows both.Stick with the aluminum pot- you can replace it 6 times for the cost of the titanium one. | |

| I agree with everything said so far by the other reviewers, and I have only one thing to add. The handle is sooo nice for hauling water to your cook site. I never thought about it before taking it into the backcountry, but I ended up really grateful that I could carry 4 quarts of water at a time without having to awkwardly hold a large and heavy pot by the bottom or the side. | |
