TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

I am committed to lightweight gear and as such I have replaced most of my metal stuff with Titanium however I have not purchased a Titanium stove and would apreciate any comments from owners/users as to performance etc.

This topic went somewhat off-topic (titanium) and onto stoves in general, and there's already another recent topic for that. Yes, I know, it was me who took it off-topic in the first place. Sorry for that.
I've split off, the stove talk to a separate "Stove-Off" topic, so that at least it has a slightly different tangent than the general stoves topic. Use the new stove-off topic for talking about actually meeting up to look at or compare stoves.
Please keep this topic for discussion of titanium equipment, or other construction materials.
For general discussion of stoves, please head to this topic.
Thanks!

I saw titanium cutlery in a bushwalking store not so long ago.
Is that taking things too far, or what?
Like, I've never busted a plastic fork, I use my pocket knife as knife, and have one steel spoon doubles as cooking implement and another plastic spoon for my wife. Why worry with titanium?

I purchased some titaniumn gear from Snowpeak, a mug, bowl and spork. Purchased them directly from Japan. Once they found out I was 250kms from the nearest store that sold snowpeak they were happy to supply them. Cost me about $55 for the lot.
