If you aren't cooking, squishy bowls are easy to clean, light and very easy to pack. If you want to cook, a simple GSI Glacier Cup can get the job done. I like my Klean Kanteen nested in a Glacier cup with a lid I made for it. Search YouTube for user johncajunmanbrown and see the video I have of that...

Of course, what other guys were saying before me work as well.

I'll check into that. As I now pack with someone else, I had to go with a larger setup, thus the small pot with lid. We could be romantic and both eat out of the same pot, but I'd just as soon kick back and mine out of my own cup. No need to be that hardcore at this time--not to mention I spice mine up a lot more than the average bear can tolerate.

One thing that's VITAL IMO is the ease of cleaning. Thus, un teflon type coated materials is out. One should be able to use a rag and get all the stuff out of the pan. No scrubbing/abrasives.

When I'm not alone, I take a GSI Duo (or Dualist) which has been outstanding. I think they quit making them in 2008 so I got mine on clearance sale at REI a while back. I cannot say enough good things about that setup! But you may have a hard time finding one for sale now... If you do find one, I suggest you buy it. I think it meets the needs you mention.

$60 Yikes! I bought mine for $20!!!

Knowing what I know now, I might have saved up for it. I REALLY like this set up for two.

Where the heck did you get that set for $20?

REI was having a clearance sale. I snatched up the last one out of the bin.
