Snow Peak Mini Solo Combo Titanium Cookset
The Snow Peak Mini Solo Titanium Cookset is made for one-man treks into the outback. Super light titanium is used to reduce weight and speed heating times. Easy to clean titanium is also used for its great strength-to-weight ratio. The Mini Solo can also store certain models of Snow Peak stoves to save space as well.

If You Want Light...Here It Is
I recently bought this set, and it is great. I was shocked by how versatile it is for the weight. The pot holds enough water to re-hydrate a meal and pour the rest of the water into the 10.5oz cup that comes with it for your hot coffee or tea. The cup has markings for ozs and mls stamped in the side to make measurements accurately. Also a feature I like is the lid that comes with it. The weight difference of the titanium lid over a piece of heavy foil is not enough to ever notice in your pack, and since it fits tighter probably saves fuel (so carry less alcohol). The only reason I ranked it a 4 and not a 5 is it would have been a really nice feature if the lid fit the cup (to keep coffee hot) like it fits the pot. The pot is about a cup (I believe) larger than Snow Peak's 600 mug and has a tight lid is what convinced me to buy it. Lastly, the handles don't get hot at all, so no worrying about finding your bandana to grab the handle when the water boils.
Great cookset!
I hate carrying a lot of weight on my back. I ditched my old cook set and went with this Snowpeak titanium cook set. I highly recommend it. You can pick it up when it's hot (the little handles don't seem to conduct much heat). Another really cool feature: when your water (or whatever) is boiling, the lid makes a faint jingling sound. No need to keep checking it. Just wait until you hear the sound.
Great
Awesome cookset...it's exactly what it claims with "SOLO" cookset. It could not be any better unless it was cheaper. It's so expensive you would think it would do other things like talk to you on those long solo hikes. BUT quality will cost you. I definitely recommend the solo cook set for solo trips.
Nice and light
This cookset is really light. I only bring the larger pot with me. It is able to hold my stove and my fork inside although I had to trim the end of my fork by about a quarter inch to get it to fit. The only gripe is the stuff sack that comes with it is too tall allowing the lid to rattle. I'll stitch the sack a little smaller to solve the problem.
mini solo
The size and weight pack well. I am not to sure about doing much other than boiling water with it. I have used this pot with several alcohol stoves with good results.

Training Tips
Did you know that to lose approximately one pound of fat, an average adult would have to walk 30 miles? You don't have to walk those 30 miles all at once.
If you consume 100 calories a day more than you need, you will gain about 10 pounds in a year. A reasonable combination of diet and exercise can help control your weight. The key is to balance your caloric intake with the amount of exercise.
You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.
Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
