My 10 year old Amanda and I went to Target this morning and came Eachhome with a couple Stanley nesting cook sets. They are a 24 oz. stainless steel billy pot with two plastic cups that nest inside.  The diameter at the top is about 3.75" and it's about 6" tall. set was $14.95 + tax. They are well made, except for the way the handle is attached to the lid. If you leave it alone it's ok but if you replace the plastic tab with a stainless steel split ring you run the risk of breaking the tiny spot welds that hold it in place. (Yes, I popped one of the welds.) The plastic lid handle will work ok if you just use it on a stove but if you want to stick it right in your campfire, the plastic will melt in short order. I might replace the lid handle with a wooden knob held on with a stainless screw, or make an aluminum knob on my lathe. stove to make hot chocolate and as long as the pot handle was kept away from the flames it stayed cool. The cups stay cool when filled with hot liquid. fits on the bottom of a 32 oz. Nalgene bottle. From reading on Bushcraft USA, if you take out one of the cups you can store a folding canister stove and a small size butane canister inside the pot. pretty nice piece of gear for $15. IMO it would make a good cookset to keep in a BOB. Mine will come along on day hikes for boiling water for tea and hot chocolate. The graduations stamped on the side will come in handy if I decide to bring along any dehydrated meals. |

You can get the lids separate directly from stanley and they fit GSI mugs or the ozark trail walmart knockoff. I nest a 1L nalgene bottle in a GSI mug and couldn't find a good lid till I was able to source one of these.

I have a couple. Really neat little kits/ pots. I don't find myself using it much though because for me it seems to fall right in-between that not really necessary size when you already carry a Nalgene w/ nesting cup, and a larger pot or kettle for cooking a meal in. Most of the time I use a Snow Peak Kettle No 1 which is 30 oz along with an OLICamp Nalgene nesting cup.
During an extended hunting trip in the Rockies I also found I really like a cheap 99c pie pan. Great for eating in, frying in, holding stuff, use my Leatherman as a handle etc. If it gets smashed or broken its less then 1$. 
If your looking for solid robust long lasting cooking gear for camping, hunting, bushcraft or preparedness you can't go wrong with any of what's pictured above. |

Keep in mind that the cups (GSI, IIRC) most often seen alongside these things at Walmart are of too wide internal diameter, and will rattle unless precautions are taken. IIRC, the Olilight cups are of the correct (non-rattle) diameter. A rivet or two on the Olilight dark-anodized cups I bought were tilted a bit, so I had to slip the cup over a wide diameter pipe and rap the outside of the rivet to make the inside head flush, thus allowing it to slip over bottles, etc., without problems.
The Stanley lids don't fit the Olilight cups, though, just a tinch too big. Some folks use the Stanley can to carry a couple of fuel canisters. If so, consider adding a well-fitting disc of GI sleeping mat foam to kill the rattle. Makes a nice cozy if you need to set your hoe cup down in the snow or ice. |

I would like to take this opportunity to thank both you and ROCK6 for posting here. Both of you actually use your gear in the field, and both of you have a breadth of experience, borne of trying out lots of stuff, that is impressive.

I used one of those side can openers... Not sure if they have a specal name but they cut the side of the can leaving almost no sharp edges. I actually didn't even have one of my own, but there is one in the kitchen where I work so I just used a large can of chicken for a couple lunches!

One of these, with the nesting cup, and an esbit stove with fuel tabs fit nicely into a 5.11 bottle carrier.

That's similar to my ghb setup, except I use a home-made stove (made from a 12oz coffee can) and a glacier cup nested around a nalgene bottle. The bottle is filled with trioxane & esbit tabs, and the whole nested setup rides in a maxpedition 'large' or maybe 'jumbo' bottle carrier.

. From reading on Bushcraft USA, if you take out one of the cups you can store a folding canister stove and a small size butane canister inside the pot. My MSR SuperFly does not fit inside, about .25" too wide. I'm out of small canisters to try. |

They also work with GSI Glacier cups. I bought 4 lids and a mug on sale to justify the shipping.
