Titanium camping gear might be light but at least it's expensive. This little piece of kit, two pots and two frying pan/lids set me back about a hundred bucks 10 years ago. I will admit, it's lighter than a pound of feathers but, considering how little I generally care about weight on my touring bike, it's not something I would pay extra for now that I'm no longer a taker-teacher sucking at the public teat but a taker-retiree living on a state pension. And a pound of feathers might be about as useful.

| Nice non-stick pans that I only really use for boiling water or for eating out of. |
 |
| These two Snow Peak items in mesh are well disguised. I'm being coy for a reason: embarrassment perhaps? The other item isn't titanium and weighs more than double the two titanium pieces. |
 |
| So, there you have it: titanium double-walled mug, titanium coffee press [sic], and an acrylic imperial pint glass (never mind what the beers weigh). Also, Mug+ press: $100. |
This is what I used to do for camp coffee, a cute little mini espresso maker with it's darling enamel camp cup (watch included for perspective). This whole setup weighs about as much as my entire titanium collection.
 |
| And last but least: titanium silverware. Pretty unnecessary, but what else am I gonna spend $20 on? The spoon is handy for making black and tans in my acrylic pint glass. |
 |
| The whole titanium kit & caboodle weighs in at about one pound. |
 |
| By comparison, my new camp chair weighs about two pounds. Thank the gods I have all that titanium so I can splurge on a camp chair. |
