Is it a pot? Yes. Is it a bowl? Sure. Is it a mug? It is if you’re thirsty. We love a bit of kit that has many uses, especially on the trail where space in your pack comes at a premium. The MSR Titan Kettle has proved its worth on multiple adventures and expeditions. It can be just about anything you want it to be in terms of cooking and eating meals on the trail, from a kettle for boiling water, to a pot for cooking up pasta and even a bowl for eating from – which saves on both the washing up and the amount you need to carry. Double win. Made from ultralightweight titanium, it weighs just 118 g and features a drip-free spout for easy pouring and a tight-fitting lid for an efficient boil time, with a capacity of 850 ml. The Titan Cup (sold separately) is the perfect partner for this kettle, as it nests neatly inside
A staple of multiple expeditions for more than 50 years, MSR gear is trusted by climbers, mountaineers, explorers and researchers in some of the highest and coldest places on earth. The brand has earned an enviable reputation for turning out reliable, durable, high-performance kit – and has come a long way since its founding by Seattle engineer and lifelong mountaineer Larry Penberthy in 1969. Back then, MSR – or Mountain Safety Research, to use its full moniker – was solely focused on improving the safety of climbing equipment. Why? Because Larry knew that better equipment meant greater adventures.
Since then, the product range has grown hugely, but the core ethos remains the same. That’s why MSR gear is characterised by its user-led design that prioritises functionality, simplicity and reliability, wherever you roam in the great outdoors – whether you’re on a weekend camping trip, or perched on a portaledge 2,000ft up one of the world’s big walls.
