I really like this product for its compact nature. I was initially concerned the pot size might be too small, but I was pleasantly surprised as it is very practical and well suited to a solo setup. The nesting design makes it easy to pack and carry, and everything fits neatly together without wasted space.
The pot heats quickly and efficiently, and the insulation keeps drinks warm for longer. It also works well for cooking or reheating a small meal, then placing it in the insulated bag to maintain the heat while eating. The materials are durable despite the lightweight build, and it is simple to clean.
Overall, the Soto Thermostack Cook Set Combo is compact, efficient and versatile. A very reliable piece of kit and now an essential part of my mobile kitchen box.
I bought this water bladder use as a at campsite water supply. When empty it rolls down nice and small thus taking up very little volume in my pack. It easily connects to my MSR Guardian water filter for quick and easy filtration. The webbing attachments on the outside of the water bladder are handy for hanging off a nearby tree and for lashing to a pack or vehicle. As bonus the handy cap valve system makes filling individual water bottles a breeze, even while wearing gloves.
I was very impressed with this dehydrated meal! It was my first time trying Real Meals. It is a quality product, even the packaging is high quality, the ziplock seal is top notch (it actually works). And the taste and texture of the meal itself was impressive. I would highly recommend this meal.
