[pct-l] cook pots

[ronyon at comcast.net (Ron Smith)]

I own both the .9 and 1.3 liter Evernew titanium pots, which I got as
gifts. I use the .9 for solo hiking and the 1.3 otherwise. I love them
both, but admit that they probably don't have a great advantage over
aluminum pots. The one slight downside to titanium is, being a harder
metal, it slides more easily on the stove than does aluminum, so you
need a more level cooking surface or a snug windscreen to keep the pot
in place. However, I've never had a pot actually slide off.
