RE: [Aushiker] Titanium Pots

Andrew,

It is a pot that I was talking about.

You can get them from Mountain Designs or Main Peak.

I did see them in Main Peak Cottesloe a few years ago.

They can order them in for you if you wish.

Trangia make them.

but fine for boiling water.
Where can you get the stove you mention?
Thanks
Andrew
