(Part 2) Best camping cups & mugs according to redditors

I've done some steam baking with a toaks 750 and a double up cup:

Mainly because its 10 bucks. I'm thinking of getting a titanium cup similarly sized to save about an oz. I basically carry an coffee cup as a luxury item, that doubles as a baking pan.

I use a pika alcohol stove with a simmer ring, so I get the alcohol light weight and silent cooking. I think the silence for the 30 min waiting for my morning muffin is very valuable.

would this work?

Make the coffee stronger, add water after.

The purpose of an insulated bottle is to keep things at a constant temp as log as possible. If you intend to drink the stuff right away, then the container you should leave behind is the insulated bottle.

Me, I use a double walled coffee mug, like this one which keeps it warm for long enough for me to linger over a cup of coffee or tea.

There are silicone plates and bowls that are foldable! These ones lay flat/ 'Fozzils Solo Pack (Cup, Bowl, Dish) - New Blue https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0024E00JQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_58KrDbFX5NTDR . And here are collapsable silicone cups : ME.FAN Silicone Collapsible Travel Cup - Silicone Folding Camping Cup with Lids - Expandable Drinking Cup Set - BPA Free, Portable, Graduated [9.22oz] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0792ZZW4X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Q9KrDbHS8AA2E . I hope that these help you find ones you like, at least a little!

I paid $15 for a 4 pack on amazon. 12cm imusa mugs 4 pack

Clips onto a belt loop, small enough for shots, big enough for larger drinks. Wrap a couple layers of duct tape on it in case the screws come loose. Put a small gift on the caribiner part and when you're walking it acts like a bell, great for making people aware out in deep playa.

I was looking at one of these..... Until I seen the Camelbak Forge posted up.. Decisions, Decisions.....


EDIT: Decision made! Camelbak Forge is ordered. I got stuck with one really nasty drink in my monster mug last year, smaller cup this year. Thanks /u/Mcbuffalopants !! :)

Oh don't get fooled by the Camelbak Forge DIVIDE. Its plastic on the inside, thus the reduced price.

So a charity that is extremely close to my heart is The Ronald McDonald House of Albany. The organization provides housing, food, and support for families that live far away from the hospital, but need a place to stay while their child is in the hospital. I've been volunteering there since I was 6 years old (13 years!), and the story of why I started volunteering there is one of my favorites so I'm going to tell it quick! Basically my father left when I was 2 and had just shown back up claiming to want custody of me and taking my mom to court a bunch. At the same time my mom had to kick my brother (who is 14 years older than me) out of the house because he was forging checks in her name then cashing them, then he was arrested for stealing from a friend. My mom was working 2 fast food jobs to support us, and one happened to be McDonalds. One day she had to take the donations to the Ronald McDonald House, and she said that she felt so much love there that she wanted me to feel. She wanted to show me that there is good in the world, and that I could be part of that good. The rest is history! I consider that place my second home.

This is currently my favorite thing. I have broken too many of my mom's Starbucks mugs so now she wants me to get my own lmao.

I use this. Perfect for travel to. Just wash it when I wash my hands after.

Ecoart Silicone Collapsible Travel Cup for Outdoor Camping and Hiking, Blue (1 Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018AN8EQU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Z8jLBbVJF5A56

I don't normally recommend so much cooking gear, but since it sounds like you actually cook on trail I recommend:

Imusa 12cm aluminum pot (aka stanco grease pot) would suit you well. Good capacity at 1.1L and only weighs ~3.5 oz.
https://www.amazon.com/Imusa-Aluminum-Mug-1-25-Quart-12/dp/B004444XMY

I don't know about pans, but I imagine a really lightweight aluminum pan could be found around. Maybe even non-stick. The MSR Quick Skillet is listed at 5.9 oz - https://www.moosejaw.com/moosejaw/shop/product_MSR-Quick-Skillet_10238436_10208_10000001_-1_

As for a cup - I like the sea to summit x-cup. The best thing about it is that it collapses flat and takes up very little pack space. - https://www.amazon.com/Sea-to-Summit-XSSCUP-X-Cup/dp/B0065J3JWG

For real cooking I wouldn't go with titanium. It heats unevenly and has hot spots that can cause burnt food. Cheap aluminum is generally lighter than titanium anyway.

Maybe as a secondary gift but I always thought these were cute:

Make him an alcohol stove. Add a wire hanger pot stand. Handmade gifts are best, and this one is very practical and will last a long time with proper care.

Maybe throw in a Toaks titanium cup/pot too.

not so fast https://www.amazon.com/Silicone-Glasses-Patented-Unbreakable-Silipint/dp/B00YAJLUTM this is unmeltable

This is the one.

Also, here's the mug from the Roci

Would [this] (http://www.amazon.com/ICUP-Family-Stewie-Straw-Clear/dp/B009G5A9W4) be close enough?

Aww...that stinks. So you tried, but it just didn't work.

I love that little guy for hiking or biking. When he's paired with a collapsible shotglass and tiny stove my coffee on-the-go setup packs up to the size of the aeropress.
