Treated myself to a Lifeventure Titanium Mug @ Blacks - they're selling them for £16.99
Now I can dump the bucket I used to take

I forgot to ask. how did this get on?

Suprisingly well. Titanium feels a bit strange to the touch so I thought drinking out of it might be odd but it wasn't. Plus I can whack it straight on a gas stove meaning I don't have to worry so much about keeping pots clean (and the handle doesn't heat up too much thankfully). Only problem is it wont fit on the mini Trangia so I'm back to gas again!

Just read that some folks put one of the charity wrist bands around the lip so they don't burn your lips of you leave them on the heat too long...

I have the MSR titanium cup and the titan kettle, both awesome bits of kit. The super conductive properties of the metal were both a pro and a con, fast and efficient boils when on heat but once you took it off I found the liquid cooled quite quickly, I made a little cozy for the mug out of one of those old gul wetsuit pencil cases and that seemed to sort it out plus I can cradle the mug in hands with out burning them! I think everything tastes better out of Titanium! (got a TI spoon aswell! Bit of an addict

)

I looked at the MST Titanium but I like a pot that has a lid that can be used as a frying pan. Titanium pots just never seem to have that.

The Gul pencil case is a Very good idea

The pan is quite wide, I've never had any problem frying stuff in the bottom of it.

I've so far managed to resist the lure of titanium... although I was tempted to pimp my tarp with some titanium V-pegs which Blacks also have on sale.

Speaking of titanium pots and pans, Backpacking Light have a decent range of Evernew titaniums pots and pans in stock. Initially when I saw the prices my mouth dropped open, but I see in a recent TGO article that Chris Townsend has had his Evernew titanium pot for 18 years! When you divide the price over the amount of years owned it takes the edge off slightly

I know people that have had Trangia sets for >20 years. You're just looking for an excuse

Have you felt the weight of those old Trangia sets

Stop spoiling my excuse, weighing up [no pun!] cost vs. time owned is my new favourite negotiating method
