I'm thinking about getting a set of the GSI Glacier small nesting pot/pan sets. Anyone have an argument for getting either the medium or large set instead?
Specs:
Small: 1qt pot, 1.5qt pot, 2 dual-use frypans, lids, 2 cutting boards, Diamond Gripper and mesh bag.
Medium: 1.5qt pot, 2.5qt pot, 2 dual-use frypans, lids, 2 cutting boards, Diamond Gripper and mesh bag.
Large: 2.5qt pot, 4qt pot, 2 dual-use frypans, lids, 2 cutting boards, Diamond Gripper and mesh bag.

Think this one comes down to just how large of a pot you'll have use for, and how annoyed you'll be lugging around larger items. Typical tradeoff when it comes to camping gear. :haha:
 
Yeah. I'm thinking about getting the small set right now. It would work backpacking or cooking for a couple people on the trail. If I needed the bigger set for family trips later I could always get it too I guess.
 
Picked up a backpacking white gas stove Friday. $30 and worked perfect plus she threw in an aluminum pot to use with it that it'll meet inside of.

So to update this, I currently have the little brown 400 backpacking stove, a 1971 Sears two burner, an early 60s three burner and a late 70s three burner stove. Plus 9 lanterns of different vintages and styles that run and two more on the bench to be repaired in the future.
 
These are hardly restorations. I just try to get them running as is. One of them is a 1942 242B. The paint is peeling and the vent is pretty rough. I'm going to clean it up and make s nice runner but it'll be a rat rod kinda thing.

The other is a 60s 220E "Transitional" that's pretty nice. It'll get polished up a little but still be an as is runner. I love Es though. Classic look and big noise!
 
Have an old 275 out in the garage that was given to me, needs to be gone through. Not the most desirable but it was free..
 
Back in the early 2000's I worked at REI for 5 years. During that time I started buying all the returned stoves and rebuilding them in my apartment. My immaturity led me to believe that it was safe enough to work on them on the stove. That all changed when I had a Snowpeak white gas stove fail catastrophically. It started shooting flaming fuel all over the place. I quickly decided that it needed to burn out in the sink. Of course the oxygen from moving it caused it to flame up more. It ended up catching the counter on fire under the sink. Scary times late at night in an apartment complex.

They are very interesting lanterns. I have a buddy with one and I enjoy watching it run. His is really nice so he doesn't take it out of the house much.

That's crazy man! A good lesson but I never work on one of these in the house and never do a first light up inside my garage. You never know when one of these things will turn out to be a molotov cocktail dispenser!

Noted: never fix your stoves inside :eek2:
Jokes aside, I'd be terrified if that happened to me :eek:
