Titanium Cup vs Steel Cup vs Plastic Cup

[Joshua Cocks]

The car was parked and I was about to hit the trail. While tieing my shoelaces, my pack fell out of the car and onto the road. Luckily not landing on my GPS which was my main concern. Not thinking anything of it I continued with my day.

Around the campfire that night I found my plastic cup (that I got cheap at the supermarket) was broke. I tried to melt it together but with little success. So there and then I decided to get a stronger type of cup. Later that week I went to the store to find a MSR Titanium Cup weighing only 55 grams. It was going for $115 AU which is about $180 US I think.

I went away and thought about it. I then went to Big W and got a steel cup for $6 AU. It weighs 75 grams. I was about to drop $110 AU to save 20 grams. A bit silly I know. I don't think I'll ever pay that money because if I'm that intense about saving weight. I'll just drink out of the saucepan.

for that price it must be the size of your sink, can you find something a little smaller? have you ever tried eating MRE's. the ones by mountain house taste great my favorite is the chili and noddles. off track a little :) mre's with a little water = smaller titanium cup.
