Thought I would share my homemade cook set, weighing at 186gm and measure 9cm x 9cm when packed.

So this is it setup with it's wind shield and snuffer acting as a lid.

And also hidden inside along with the burner and windshield is a fold up cup, lighter, cleaning cloth and candle.

Candle is inside an old Tiger Balm jar, it doesn't blow out easily in the wind and gives off 3 to 4 hours of light, almost enough to read by.

All materials were upcycled from my bin and the £1.49 was for the folding cup, I found the lighter in the pub. it can boil enough water for two cups of coffee or to rehydrate food. Has done a good few adventure now and never let me down, I keep thinking of replacing it with proper kit, but can't find anything as small as a couple of old sweetcorn tins and a bottom of a beer can?

Where is the £1.49 folding cup from?

I found the fold up cup in a local camping shop, attwoolls.co.uk, it's not that strong and a bit wobbly in the hand, but works fine if your not pissed!

A lot cheaper than X-Plate

Mate of mine uses x mug, keeps braking them in his compression sack. Nothing ridged on this little one, so it seems to be unbreakable.
