I am trying out the Evernew Titanium pot - a single though. But so far it seems to preform very well. Has non-stick stuff on it, which I read can become a hassle later - some calling it "everglue." But MSR makes some really nice titanium cookware. Titanium is much more expensive, but the weight you save is tremendous! So, in my opinion, it is far worth it to spend a little more on them. Plus, they are titanium, they are going to be durable.

Stoves are stoves in my opinion. I use the MSR Pocket Rocket, thing works awesome for me. Not great in the wind, and maybe not suggested for gourmet cooking - as it concentrates most of the flame on the center of the pot, but I usually just boil water for most of my eating and drinking. And it does a fine job of that. I am no trail cook, so I don't get all the fancy with the cooking. So this stove works fine for me. And the weight and ease of use works even better!!!

As for the water filters, I have been using the Sweetwater since I started. I love it, it is one of the lightest on the market (or, at least was - I haven't looked into water filters in a while). I have never had a single problem with it. Plus, they work well with the Platypus reseviors, which I use. I personally think you have a great product and should stick with it for a while and see how it works out for you. They are easy to clean on the trail, easy to use, and work fairly fast.

As you can tell, I am very much into the ultralight systems. So most of my gear is centered around that philosophy.
