So, in summary; Change 3 things to make this a perfect pot. A metal lid, measurement marks on the pot, and Silicone on the handles instead of plastic. Really, those are some pretty minor changes for a company already making plenty of similar camping equipment. I hope they do make those changes. Good Breakdown Luke.
Or even better: A second smaller pod that is the lid. Then he wouldnt need to carry the second pod inside. For the price one can get cheaper titanium pots from chinese manufacturers like lixada or toaks (with measuring marks).
@@martinerhard8447 I have the Lixada, can confirm, or the Fire Maple 1L Aluminium Pot, as that has a heat exchanger and isn't much more weight - 190g vs 150g. Has measurements...I wish it didn't have the silicone lid, as that can melt! Otherwise good.
It's probably a rice pot. I have a few household pots and camping pots with no measurement markings here in Japan, that we just cook rice in. The Japanese figure since it's a staple food here, everyone pretty much has an idea how much rice and water to put in it. Always keep in mind the country of origin for products. They may sell in other markets, but those markets are not the primary target of the item. Probably explains the plastic lid too.
I love my Toaks titanium 1100 with a bail handle for use over a fire, the longer type "handles" and the of course a titanium lid. I also love my Soto windmaster stove. For me it is the ultimate combo. I wouldn't buy this pot because of the plastic lid, but I like the size and the idea of the rough bottom surface to help prevent movement on your stove of choice. Not having markings would not be an issue.
on my most recent motorcycle trip, my Sea to summit X Pot failed, it has a huge crack on the side between the silicone and the metal of the botom, so i went to the nearest camping store and bought something quite similar to this, i must say this kind of product is great, not fancy, no bs, and you can store your food inside.
In my kit, my New River holds a Soto Americus stove, a small butane canister, and a triangle can stabilizer. Been fantastic so far. Not had the handles overheat / melt. And I did mark my pot on the outside. Great value, transfers & holds heat better than Ti pots in my opinion. Love it
Volume markings are helpful in a general way, especially if you can see them inside and outside of the pot. Camp cooks using a pot can generally estimate volume based on experience.
After making thousands of cups of coffee, tea and hot chocolate I usually eyeball the water level in my pot. If anything I prefer the level markings on the outside of the pot. I love my Soto gear.
I've had one for several months, the markings aren't a deal breaker at all. I use the Katadyn Be Free that has markings on it so I know how much I put it. IMO the best pot I've owned for me, I store my gas, lighter, wash cloth, and Soto Amicus stove + a few seasoning sachets inside the pot and it's a killer size, perfect for me.
I melted the edge of my New River Pot on its first outing, while using an alcohol stove. Maybe it was because the windshield was a bit too effective but I anyway switched to using a metal lid from then on. For any of my pots without markings, I just add some indentations with a center punch.
Luke, you should make a video about up grading equipment similar to the tent seam video. Up graded good equipment that has something missing. Love your channel. Strength and honor!!
I have the same set up. I bought an extra jet boil minimo plastic measuring cup for $10. It nests perfect to the pot and has measuring markings. Makes a nice set up and you have an extra cup for whatever. Love the vids Luke.
Good job Luke, keep them coming. Can't Waite for you to make some more videos when it snows. my favorite is facing the blizzard. Blizzard in the Mountains - Military Surplus Overnight Adventure, do you still do military surplus overnight videos?
Deal breaker for me. There are other pots that are titanium with a metal lid and bail to hang it up over the fire that have the measurement markings on them. I'll be buying one of those instead. Thanks for the review Luke.
Ultralight cook setup, Toaks 550ml ti pot, BRS stove, 110g iso, long ti spoon, HotLips silicone lip protector, mini Bic, aluminum foil. Everything fits in the pot except the spoon. Enough capacity for any freeze dried meal. This is a known recipe, about as small and affordable as a kit can be.
I have almost the same setup. Works like a charm. All it took was a little research to come up with it. I'm surprised Luke doesn't do a similar setup? Few few actual individual backpackers and hikers ever bother with a 1,000ml pot.
Hi Luke!: Thanks for showing how you pack your cook kit! I have a similar setup with my little Optimus Terra Solo kit. It is a lot smaller than the one you show, but my Optimus Crux lite stove fits inside with a cleaning sponge and a washcloth. Will have to add a piece of tin foil and some paper towels also! This little cook set has the rubberized handles also, and I have already scorched the insulation on the handles! Even this tiny set has markings for the pot (SADLY missing from the SOTO!) and is non stick. The SOTO is a good price, but if they upcharged the thing to around $40 and added markings and a metal lid. I would probably get one if them. But I LOVE the Optimus and my larger Toaks pot!!
It's a Soto and I love my Soto stuff. But at the end of the day the cons (incl value for cost) outweigh for me so I'll wait for the next version they build after taking into account your feedback, Luke ;)
Good job on the review👍 Not a fan of aluminum but hard anodized is a plus. Weird it has plastic lid and handle coating, care must be taken. No markings, no worries. $35🤨 It's a SOTO👌 5 outta 10 on this one.
Luke,it's so easy to calculate the measurements it's a 1ltr.pot so ½ a pot is ½ a ltr.which equals 5oomls. and so on !!!. There is absolutely no need for markings 😊. Life is beautiful ❤
1 Measures- not a problem, fill your cup with the amount of water you will drink. Mugs are normally 300 or 400ml so its also your measure. 2. Lid at 22g is perfect. I have a similar pot with fry pan lid at +100g. It never gets used. 3. Coated aluminium is excellent, durable and lighter than titanium. 4. Packs a 8oz 330g gas cartridge is massive, saving weight and space. 5. -ve A light weight heat exchanger would be perfection. ❤❤
If the lid was another smaller pot then he wouldnt need the extra pot on the inside. Coated alumium pots are typically heavier than titanium pots. But better for cooking in them of course. Best dont use metal spoons in them to not scratch the coating Maybe check out the optimus terra cookset. Non-Stick coated aluminium with heat exchanger, measuring marks and silikon wrapped handles.
those pots with mini-pan lids look cool. Though the lid is likely useless as a pan, it can most definetly work as a bowl for coffe or diving meals between two people.@@martinerhard8447
Luke why is it such a big deal about the lack of measurement markings, if you know it's a 1000ml capacity,then 1/4way up will be 250ml,1/2 500 ml,3/4 up 750 ml 🙂
But at what point is it 1000 ml? Quite often a container's maximum capacity isn't measured all the way up to the brim and is actually cut off somewhere lower since no one is going to try to handle a liter of boiling water that is literally up to the brim and spilling over at the slightest jitter. The wider the vessel gets the bigger the difference differing fill levels makes. Plus as the other commenter mentioned, it is clearly within Soto's ability to provide markings since they do on so many other pots.
It’s important for people who rehidrate food and rely on the markings. It wouldn’t to me because I am fine estimating it, but some folk cant cope without their OCD killing them.
The nice part about it is they didn't overdo it with gizmos. It might have been nice to include a cup that fits. That's all I take backpacking. Sometimes I bring a little fitted fry pan for pancakes in the morning. That's about the right size for 1 or 2 people.
Measurement markings aren’t that big of a deal to me. Most of the pots I use have them, but I can’t remember ever referencing them while cooking. The rough bottom is a great feature, too. If you need to make a rough bottom, just pull down your pants and sit on a rock.
I watched many of your videos, and I noticed your multiple storage bags. Have you ever used totes or any of those storage box systems? I will not use Pelican boxes but maybe the reasonably priced boxes at Harbor Freight. Currently, I'm trying to set have two grab-n-go camping sets. One for two people that is light and practical, and one for a group or longer camping time that I have all the possible creature comforts ss possible. I'm tired of missing or leaving stuff at home because I forgot to transfer something when packing for a trip. For the small set, I'm buying Coho boxes. They are strong roto molded boxes. While they cost over $110 online, at Costco the regular price is $50 and from time to time they are on sale for $40. each box can be secure with two padlocks, have two trays for things you need easy access to, and three velcro hold zippered bags inside the lid. It is a shame they don't have bigger sizes. What did you go through that ended up selecting your current system?
I much prefer using pot grips. I wish more companies would produce a greater range of pots without handles. Soto does some, Trangia even more, but many few if any.
The advantage of a large pot is to boil water for two people. Adding up the required water for both meals does no good with this pot because of the missing marks. Great Review!
Way more concerned about non-metallic components. It's a liablity and a limit to functionality. Just get a titanium pot / lid. Or if price is that big of a deal, just get a stainless steel pot / lid. Lack of markings doesnt actually matter though. Its harder to read the linea than to just estimate how full the thing is. They are only useful to remind you what the total volume is.
Everything is great with this pot except the no measurement lines other than holding 1,000 mls Perhaps they'll redesign it after your review; hopefully they will pay attention. Great reviews on this and the table!
I'll stick with my titanium all-in-one kit. Pot, cup, and spork. And has fill markings, 1100ml. Basically does everything this does better and is a better value.
No markings aren't a deal breaker but it points to where they cut corners on price. Plastic lid? Get the #$%^ out. $35 for ALUMINUM? Not of my money. I've seem some excellent Soto products, not sure how this got slipped into the product mix.
If all my cups have measurement markings, I don’t need them in my pot. Also, I have a wooden spoon I carved, with notches carved in it to measure pot volume. I dip the handle in as a gauge. If I have a new pot, I carve a new spoon.
I was looking at this pot a month or so ago and didn't buy it for the reasons you gave here. It definitely needs a metal lid and for my personal needs also markings on the pot itself.
I know titanium is the trendy material today, but I still think aluminium is a good option. And especially when it’s hard-anodized and safe. For just boiling water I’ll bring my titanium pot, but when cooking real food I’d pick a hard-anodized aluminium or aluminium with ceramic or traditional non-stick coating. The weight difference is fairly small and cooking is easier with better conductivity.
I know something better. I invented this: Rockland 1l pot, Optimus windshield, 100g gas carnister, 2cups vildo 600ml each, meva hiker and a gas carnister stabilizer. It took me quite a long time to invent such a small kit for two persons but i did it. Everything fits in to one pot. Meyby not ultralight set but still light very good quality and very budget friendly and for two persons.
Should have a better lid and handle insulation to handle the heat, to me the lack of volume marks are not a deal breaker, but the handles and lid are...IMO
It's not a deal breaker without the measurement marks, but a plastic lid for an outdoor product is kinda dumb since it could be broken or melted and there are so many more products out there to choose from and it's up to the individual to decide what they are looking for in a product and durability.
Titanium is the only right material choice for this use case. In my opinion. Also, Great videos, Great work overall, but I really do wish for you to also use metric, just on screen would be great.
Is the soto windmaster or MSR pocket rocket 2 better for all year all around use? I have the BRS 3000 stove too but its not nearly as consistent as the pocket rocket so I am leaving that out of the question.
Out here in the west just about every place is very country. That makes it not a good idea to store olive oil and Seasonings in the pot unless you're planning on putting it in to a bear canister
I have no need for a pot with 1,000ml capacity. The only two stoves I have are the MSR Whisperlite when it was first introduced back in 1987 which is a liquid fuel stove & my Soto Windmaster 4-Plex which is a canister stove. I normally light both stoves with my FireSteel Ferro Rod/Striker. The piezo igniter is as reliable as any piezo on any stove. It works, same as its regulator. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
My titanium 1100 ml Toaks pot with bail handle costs a little more. It has measurement markings I don't really care. Camping in the dark, they will be sometimes useless without lighting. A one cup Wildo 240ml 24g foldable cup will take care of water measurements. What I don't like about these chinese made pots is the indentation on bottom. Made I quess to limit the heat intensity under, or just to add some strength. That flat bottom of your 1 liter pot is to my liking for cleaning.
I hate pots/cups without measurements, we've all done it, eyeball it in quarters. One quarter full in 1000ml pot, 250ml/8 ounces and so on. Annoying but not a deal breaker. the plastic lid and insulated handles are my deal breaker, I'm strictly a wood burner stove person and can't do plastic or rubber.
Luke, I am wondering what was the company's reason for omitting markings? It does look like a neat set but that plastic lid made me frown. An aluminum lid would be cool.
Would you be lighter off if the lid was a smaller pot instead of having a smaller pot in the inside and a extra lid? With 141 grams its as heavy as my 140 grams 1.1L toaks titanium pot.
I mean the measurements on the inside of the pot for me is not super important as I basically just boil water for some freeze dried stuff (that has markings on the bag or in the bag) or for coffee, for if I make food inside of it I just eyeball it.
I would be worried about durability. Imagine this is the pot you carried to do everything far, far from civilization and it falls. I would rather sacrifice weight for something “bomb proof,” that can go to hell and back with me. That is the pot I would want.

Excellent point that makes perfect sense.
I have several SOTO products. Really good stuff. Nice quality. I'm always interested when they come out with new products.

Looks like a decent lil' pot there Luke. Nice lightweight cook kit that you've put together there too man 👍
My 750 Toaks is all I need. I carry a small 3x3in piece of leather inside to act as a pot holder along with the fuel and stove.
on my most recent motorcycle trip, my Sea to summit X Pot failed, it has a huge crack on the side between the silicone and the metal of the botom, so i went to the nearest camping store and bought something quite similar to this, i must say this kind of product is great, not fancy, no bs, and you can store your food inside.

In a mad world, you help to keep me grounded about what life is about. 👍
Volume markings are helpful in a general way, especially if you can see them inside and outside of the pot. Camp cooks using a pot can generally estimate volume based on experience.
Markings on the inside collect food and are hard to clean. My one pot that has markings has them written our, lot of zeros to catch food

Looks ok... there's a lot of kits like it that work good... I haven't seen any that fails the basic use of the kit.

Who the Hell cares about Measurements in the Bush?

Strength and honor but total disrespect by wearing sunglasses at the camera,, yeah Luke you called it one day so live up to it,, mr respect
Great review. Looks like great value. What's it made of?

I agree with the con. Luckily I premature everything so if it's too dark to see I'm able to prepare food.
No measurements, no problem. All you need is one item with a known capacity and Boom, you now have a mark. Easy. Not a deal breaker at all.
I watched many of your videos, and I noticed your multiple storage bags.
Have you ever used totes or any of those storage box systems? I will not use Pelican boxes but maybe the reasonably priced boxes at Harbor Freight.
Currently, I'm trying to set have two grab-n-go camping sets. One for two people that is light and practical, and one for a group or longer camping time that I have all the possible creature comforts ss possible.
I'm tired of missing or leaving stuff at home because I forgot to transfer something when packing for a trip.
For the small set, I'm buying Coho boxes. They are strong roto molded boxes. While they cost over $110 online, at Costco the regular price is $50 and from time to time they are on sale for $40. each box can be secure with two padlocks, have two trays for things you need easy access to, and three velcro hold zippered bags inside the lid. It is a shame they don't have bigger sizes.
What did you go through that ended up selecting your current system?
Looks awesome! Have you seen / used any AlpKit stuff? They’ve a good range of kit 👍
I imagine Soto is, in fact, listening, since they have your review of the Fusion Trek stove embedded on the product page!
I have the same pot bought gotnitnim a set with the amicus stove great set
looks good, but plastic lid would have to go
It reminds me of my all time favorite bit of kit the Primus Alutech 1l pot, metal lid and markings for about the same price 🤷🏽♂️
It seems that starting a few weeks ago the lighting or color grading has gotten warmer. Not sure if I’m right. But I like it.
You should try the x-boil UL from germany, Luke. Never saw such an awesome stove.
I much prefer using pot grips. I wish more companies would produce a greater range of pots without handles. Soto does some, Trangia even more, but many few if any.

Looks top heavy, will it tip over easy??

Is there a link to your white, zippered kit bags in the description? I can’t find it if there is. Ever do a video/review on them?
Looks good to me I’m a wing it kinda guy also.
Mark it. Cut the handle insulation back a little get a lid drill some stream pour holes. Load and go
Have to passon this pot. No graduation marks , Boundless Voyage has a 1000ml titanium pot with fry pan lid for 32.00
If there are no markings, when is it filled with 1000ml (1L) ? I use a long spoon to measure my water so pot markings are just extra
No markings aren't a deal breaker but it points to where they cut corners on price. Plastic lid? Get the #$%^ out. $35 for ALUMINUM? Not of my money. I've seem some excellent Soto products, not sure how this got slipped into the product mix.
If all my cups have measurement markings, I don’t need them in my pot.
Also, I have a wooden spoon I carved, with notches carved in it to measure pot volume.
I dip the handle in as a gauge.
If I have a new pot, I carve a new spoon.
Do outside lines to measure Tape or marker will do nicely
Luke is there second best stove
I was looking at this pot a month or so ago and didn't buy it for the reasons you gave here. It definitely needs a metal lid and for my personal needs also markings on the pot itself.
If the full pot is 1000 ml. then if you fill to half it is 500 ml. and 1/4 is 250 ml. So decent ability to guesstimate. I think I would purchase it.
Good God that is a ton of stuff must be for car camping
If they incorporate those few fixes, you really would have a near perfect set.
Luke have you ever thought of using an electric Bike to ride up to your campsites?
I know titanium is the trendy material today, but I still think aluminium is a good option. And especially when it’s hard-anodized and safe.
For just boiling water I’ll bring my titanium pot, but when cooking real food I’d pick a hard-anodized aluminium or aluminium with ceramic or traditional non-stick coating. The weight difference is fairly small and cooking is easier with better conductivity.
Please review Paria bryce tent. Under $200 double wall and less than 3lbs
I know something better. I invented this: Rockland 1l pot, Optimus windshield, 100g gas carnister, 2cups vildo 600ml each, meva hiker and a gas carnister stabilizer. It took me quite a long time to invent such a small kit for two persons but i did it. Everything fits in to one pot. Meyby not ultralight set but still light very good quality and very budget friendly and for two persons.
I won't be giving up my Stanley Adventure Pot with GSI cup.
Plastic lids are a no go for me.
Primus etalite all the way!
Its 12:35AM in India, been watching your chanel on hospital (ICU) , please pray for my uncle i.e Vana.
Should have a better lid and handle insulation to handle the heat, to me the lack of volume marks are not a deal breaker, but the handles and lid are...IMO
It's not a deal breaker without the measurement marks, but a plastic lid for an outdoor product is kinda dumb since it could be broken or melted and there are so many more products out there to choose from and it's up to the individual to decide what they are looking for in a product and durability.
Always take your pot off the stove before putting your hands under boiling water :)
Titanium is the only right material choice for this use case. In my opinion.
Also, Great videos, Great work overall, but I really do wish for you to also use metric, just on screen would be great.
Basically correct. But titanium has a very bad thermal conductivity. Aluminium is better. Best would be a combination (alu/titan).
I perfer titanium, or stainless than aluminum.
The lack of markings is more a pest than a deal breaker. It’s a nice size. But if anyone will melt the lid 😂😂😂😂❤
Is the soto windmaster or MSR pocket rocket 2 better for all year all around use?
I have the BRS 3000 stove too but its not nearly as consistent as the pocket rocket so I am leaving that out of the question.
I've used a windmaster for 4 years all year round. Strong wind and ice on the ground. Its faultless.
@@bc81 YES, faultless. I love my Windmaster Stove
Out here in the west just about every place is very country. That makes it not a good idea to store olive oil and Seasonings in the pot unless you're planning on putting it in to a bear canister
I have no need for a pot with 1,000ml capacity.
The only two stoves I have are the MSR Whisperlite when it was first introduced back in 1987 which is a liquid fuel stove & my Soto Windmaster 4-Plex which is a canister stove.
I normally light both stoves with my FireSteel Ferro Rod/Striker. The piezo igniter is as reliable as any piezo on any stove. It works, same as its regulator.

Measurement markings should be a standard on pots
I agree with all you said except The Prices seems a tad High.........I guess I am too Scottish........
My titanium 1100 ml Toaks pot with bail handle costs a little more. It has measurement markings I don't really care. Camping in the dark, they will be sometimes useless without lighting. A one cup Wildo 240ml 24g foldable cup will take care of water measurements.
What I don't like about these chinese made pots is the indentation on bottom. Made I quess to limit the heat intensity under, or just to add some strength. That flat bottom of your 1 liter pot is to my liking for cleaning.
I hate pots/cups without measurements, we've all done it, eyeball it in quarters. One quarter full in 1000ml pot, 250ml/8 ounces and so on. Annoying but not a deal breaker. the plastic lid and insulated handles are my deal breaker, I'm strictly a wood burner stove person and can't do plastic or rubber.
Luke, I am wondering what was the company's reason for omitting markings?
It does look like a neat set but that plastic lid made me frown. An aluminum lid would be cool.
Plastic lids are a dralbreaker for me, and if a pot isnt realistically useful for anythingbother than boiling water, it might as well be Titanium.
I buy American made only in the united states
Would you be lighter off if the lid was a smaller pot instead of having a smaller pot in the inside and a extra lid?
With 141 grams its as heavy as my 140 grams 1.1L toaks titanium pot.
I am new to Backcountry cooking and I actually don't understand how people can cook in any pot with the capacity less than 1.5 L...
🤩🤩👍👍👍👍👍👍
I mean the measurements on the inside of the pot for me is not super important as I basically just boil water for some freeze dried stuff (that has markings on the bag or in the bag) or for coffee, for if I make food inside of it I just eyeball it.
I would be worried about durability. Imagine this is the pot you carried to do everything far, far from civilization and it falls. I would rather sacrifice weight for something “bomb proof,” that can go to hell and back with me. That is the pot I would want.
It looks like an ok little pot, but it's very pricey for such a basic aluminum vessel.
It's a big set🤔 what's your opinion on the xboil cooker? 🤔
I wouldn't say $35 for an aluminum pot with a plastic lid. I might pay $9.95 for it.
But it's certainly not worth $35,
Would probably just scratch my own measurements in
Not digging the plastic. Nice review, thanx
A few graduation marks would be helpful
