Cookware that’s light, durable, and still in my camp kit years later.

July 24, 2025Every product I review has been tested—on trips, on the trail, or in everyday life. Whether I’m camping in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, biking in Arkansas, or getting outside close to home, I only share gear I use. I look for well-made products built with purpose. My decisions aren’t based on what’s cheapest or trendiest—they’re rooted in craftsmanship and brand story. I’m reviewing it because I use it. That’s the only reason it’s here.
Why Titanium?
If weight, durability, and decent-tasting camp coffee matter to you, titanium is worth considering. It’s incredibly light, corrosion-resistant, and doesn’t hold onto flavors. It also heats fast and holds up to years of real use.
Snow Peak’s titanium gear is made in Japan, using traditional metalworking in Tsubame-Sanjo—a region known for craftsmanship. The result is beautifully simple cookware that just works.

The Titanium Gear I Keep Packing
These are the pieces I bring camping—and why they’ve stayed in my camp kit.
Trek 900 Titanium Cook Set
A pot-and-pan combo that nests together and packs down small.
Why I like it: Compact, featherlight, boils water fast.
What to know: It costs more than aluminum but lasts longer.
My own Snow Peak titanium setup—lightweight, reliable, and what I actually use at camp.
Titanium Spork
The only utensil I bring. Spoon, fork, and scraper in one.
Why I like it: Ultra lightweight and shockingly durable.
What to know: Not ideal for soup—but works for almost everything else.
Trek Titanium Plate
Simple, durable, and just the right size for solo meals.
Why I like it: Lightweight, easy to clean, and doesn’t warp.
What to know: Too small for big meals but perfect for backpacking.
Ti-Double 450 Anodized Mug (Blue)
My go-to for morning coffee—double-walled and insulated.
Why I like it: Keeps drinks warm, lightweight, and easy to spot by color. I went with the blue version because it’s my favorite color—and having different colors makes it easy to tell mugs apart when camping with others.
What to know: Pricier than single-wall mugs, but worth it.
My personal blue Snow Peak mug—the lightest mug you’ll ever hold. The only weight is your coffee.
LiteMax Titanium Stove
A tiny stove that disappears in your pack but punches way above its weight.
Why I like it: Compact, nearly weightless, and strong for its size.
What to know: Best for solo or minimalist cooking—not ideal for heavy pots or big group meals.
What to Consider with Titanium
Titanium isn’t perfect for every camp cook. Here’s what to keep in mind:
Price: Titanium costs more than aluminum or stainless, but you’re paying for weight savings and longevity.
Cooking Style: It heats fast but not always evenly, so it’s better for boiling and reheating than delicate simmering.
Minimalist by Design: Most pieces are simple and compact—not ideal for big meals or group co
Field Performance
This gear heats quickly, nests easily, and stands up to repeated use. Titanium isn’t cheap—but it’s gear you buy once.
Why I keep bringing it:
Everything nests together
Holds up to abuse in my gear box
Never replaced a single piece
It’s unbelievably light
