After recently hiking back country in Yellowstone and going on a few local campsites in Maryland I must say that this cookset is awesome. It is light and is extremely well made. It is aluminum and heats extremely fast when boiling water or even cooking food. My one gripe is that there is no second lid for the smaller pot. A second would be useful when out in the wild when you are using one pot for boiling water and another for cooking other dishes to prevent insects from getting in either pot and/or prevent the smell of the food from traveling too far which is a major concern in bear country.
Pro:
1. Lightweight.
2. Perfect for 1-2 people and multiple sets are good for larger groups.
3. Transfers heat well for boiling water or heating food.
4. Insulated cups keep hands from getting burnt when drinking coffee, tea, or soups.
Con:
1. No lid for the smaller pot.
Conclusion: I'd definitely recommend this set to anyone both for themselves, for a gift or as a backup set for emergencies when items may have to be cooked over a flame.
