Superlight cookset for solo backpackers
Dedicated ultralight backpackers seem to pride themselves on shaving every gram off their trail weight, making meticulously detailed spreadsheets of the weights and dimensions of different stoves, pots and pans in order to put their cook kit together. If that sounds like way too much hard work, there’s the GSI Outdoor Halulite Soloist. It gives you everything you need for cooking, cleaning, eating and drinking on the trail in a pack size that is about the same as a balled-up pair of hiking socks. Simple. There’s even room for your stove and a 230 g fuel canister inside the 1.1L hard-anodised aluminium pot, which has a neat integrated strainer built into the lid. A secondary mug/bowl hybrid has an insulated sleeve to keep food and drinks hot plus a sip through lid. You also get a folding Spork and a storage sack that also works as a handy camp sink. It all nests perfectly and locks tight together, for space-efficient, rattle-free packing.

The best outdoor gear is stuff that solves a problem – like how to cook on the trail, in all weather. And if a piece of kit solves a particular problem in a unique and effective way, then all the better. GSI Outdoors is a US brand that understands this intimately. It embodies their entire approach to manufacturing outdoor gear. In fact, the clue is even in the name: those three initials, GSI, stand for Gear Solutions and Innovations.
Established back in 1985 and now based in Spokane, Washington, in the heart of the rugged Pacific Northwest, the company is still family-owned. But its passion for great food in the great outdoors is unwavering, even after three decades. The result is a superb range of lightweight cooking equipment designed for backpackers and wild campers. Because nothing sustains your adventures like a hot meal. Besides, as we all know, food always tastes better when cooked and eaten outside.
