Comments about Metal-Ware Open Country Backpacker Cookset:

I have had an almost identical set for over thirty years and it works great and is still in great shape. Bought one for my son five years ago. I like it so much that I'm giving one to my daughter now. It just plain works for all situations and is actually thick enough to cook in. I pack a homemade alcohol stove inside of it and a utensil set as well. I call it my kitchen in a can. Perfect for one or two campers. The only down side is that the new ones don't have the riveted strap brackets on the outside that I use to attach a handle so that I can use the fry pan as a lid for the pot.

Good product - could use a bail on the pot to hang it from. I will just improvise one.

I thought this was a great deal for the money. I cooked two meals in the pot and used the skillet to hold water for washing. The cups were just the right size and we were happy with it being lightweight. I don't think I would try to use it for anything nonstick (pancakes, etc.), but if I wanted something of that quality to eat, I would probably spring for the more expensive sets. But, following the pre-cooking directions included, everything turned out really well and we were very happy with it!
