A few years ago I bought the Halulite version. Its a little lighter but not much. I liked it so much that I bought one for my wife as well. I have used it over fire and camp stoves and its held great. I like alot of GSI products but The minimalist is my favorite so far.

One thing they missed. Made some net inside the kettle, around the nose. That could protect cup from the tea pieces.

Great review Drew. I've had this kit on my "next gear purchase list" for a while now. I'm looking forward to your field test. Thank you for sharing.

I use the GSI Minimalist set up. They have very well thought out stuff. The minimalist is sized perfectly to nest a microrocket stove and fuel cell or an alcohol stove. The only thing I don't like about the kettle kit both cups being plastic. If one was metal you would be able to leave the kettle behind when not needed and have a very versatile setup.

You could add a silicone tube to the lid latch for the kettle to pick it up. I'm surprised GSI hasn't done that.

Kettles are great! I use a Trangia kettle very often. Even on dayhikes, I'd take the kettle alone without the whole kit. When it comes to melting snow, be aware that your alcohol stove will sink into the snow. Since you're not the kind of guy that brings a camping table in his backpack, you need a contraption to have a base for it. You seem worried by aluminium. Is it because of health issues or because it's not as robust as steel? Trangia alu kettles have a long history behind them and no swede died by aluminium poisoning and if you dont burn them dry, aluminium kettles will melt snow or boil water just fine (and quicker).

pichnoufblues I prefer stainless because of health reasons. I have used aluminum in the past and it has worked very well.

Nice overview, I also watched the second one with the snow melting. You sold me on this set. Been looking for a wide bottom SS pot for winter use. I want to be able to use it on my MSR Whisperlite International, Trangia, canister stove or a fire. And to boil water, cook some meals and to melt snow. This checks all the boxes for what I am looking for. Any long term observations you can detail about this set?

that's the same spork that comes with the minimalist kit (which I love) .... I think the spork lasted about 2 weeks on the trail before I finally had to trade it in for something better. It really is the weak point and I have never understood why they didn't include something less likely to break.

If you want to keep your beard don't blow the stove. I did that once and had flaming liquid come back up on be and burned my lip really bad. Looks like a good kettle.

The MEC website says that the bowl is 590 ml, but it appears to be much less than that. Do you think you could make ramen in that bowl, or is it too small?

It's a well thought out system the way everything nests together. But at 14oz,, that is nowhere near ultra light.
