I have this, it works great.
The cups with this stanley pot nest perfectly inside of the french press. I actually bought it just for the cups and never use the pot. https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-Adventure-Camp-Stainless-Steel/dp/B005188T90/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3B98F88YMWBUP&keywords=stanley+camping&qid=1669892887&s=sporting-goods&sprefix=stanley+campin%2Csporting%2C129&sr=1-4
I have this and love it for cooking and boiling.
I'm looking to get a Stanley cup, which I've seen nest perfectly with this bottle and essentially together work as a complete cooking setup.
You should maybe consider adding a canister stove, they're pretty cheap and fuel is cheap as well. The BRS line of stoves can be had for sub $20. The BRS 3000T is a staple for ultralight backpackers. All you need after that is a bic lighter, fuel, and a cookpot. You could use a cheap aluminum mug, or a coleman cookset which is also pretty cheap and comes with cups.
This would allow you to do things like do a little cooking. Rice. Beans. Eggs. Ramen.
Personally one of my favorite trail meals is pad thai. Just dehydrated or canned chicken, instant noodles (the thicker kind), peanut butter, sriracha powder/sauce, and a seasoning packet.
Think of each pita like a full sandwich. So do you WANT to eat three sandwiches a day? I’d think one a day would be enough for me. Get yourself a cheap little camping stove (the kind that fuel and just the screw on burner. Then get a little coffee set or pot.

Now your world opens up because you can boil water!
Here’s my low cost camping menu (I don’t see why you can’t use this for non-camping travel too): Coffee/Tea and oatmeal for breakfast using boiled water from your camp stove above. Canned tuna/chicken with crackers, trail mix, nuts, or granola bars for snack. Pitas for lunch is a good idea-I like hummus and turkey for mine, but pbj is surprisingly good on pita too. A quick, cheap dinner is diced ham and instant mashed potatoes. Pre-portion it in plastic bags and then poor the hot water in and mix it up for a mess free meal. Bonus if you can throw some cheese on top. Legit my favorite camping meal when I don’t have time for a full campfire cook.
You can do pita for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but that seems…extreme. Spice up your trip with a couple easy meals for variety. Honestly everything above could be made and eaten in 15ish minutes and I think would greatly increase your enjoyment of the trip.
Stanley cook set. It's only $11, and you can usually find it on Amazon and at Walmart. It's stainless steel and super rugged, but not too heavy. Allows you to boil water and cook food (stove and/or fire not included!). I still can't believe something this great is so inexpensive...it will last for many, many years.
The plastic tab lid handle can be replaced with a 1-inch diameter key ring to prevent melting over a campfire. The same size key ring on the skinny part of the handle let's you hang cook set from a stick over a fire at a slight diagonal. I don't use the two includes cups with the cook set.
I started with a bugout/survival backpack in high school back in the 1980's, and it set me on the path of a very adventurous and fulfilling life around the country and the world. I wish the same for you.
Stanley Adventure The Nesting Two Cup Cookset https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005188T90
Would include a bic lighter in case matches get wet. A pot to boil water in, recommend this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005188T90/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_GYHPFb4JPNKQA
Other than that, Mountain House sells freezed dried food. They last for decades, and taste pretty good.
Edit: You could also post this on the bugout subreddit.
I have that one. It worked good. I’ve used the cup listed below more but it depends on what your after. I use the cup for over night hikes to heat water for easy meals like mashed potatoes and chicken. The pan would be much nicer for actual longer term food preparation though.
So I use this guy for camping and work... Stanley builds good stuff Durable,the lid filters nicely, the whole thing fits in my lunch bag. Two cups, so one for sharing tea with someone if I want to. And there is still room inside when the cups are in it for a little Ziploc of loose leaf and a small wiping cloth
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005188T90/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_XMNfFb1QZQG5K
For what you've asked for... I like these. I have 2.
It has 2 internal cups also, and a lid with holes in it... so the lid does not seal. They are like 12 bucks at walmart.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005188T90/
EDIT: Also... I can fit my alcohol stove inside one if I only take 2 cups (out of the 4 that come with 2 of these). If I could improve it, I would find a way to insulate the handle, since it gets hot while the cup is heated. Keep that in mind for the first time you grab it off the stove. You'll remember it the second time, and each thereafter!! :-/
Damn, that looks great, but man $80 is just outrageous. I just bought this recently. The seal is decent, I probably wouldn't trust liquid in it, but dry food would be ok. http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-Adventure-Camp-Stainless-Steel/dp/B005188T90?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Sounds like you want the lightweight route then
This is the cooking pot I use http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-Adventure-Camp-Stainless-Steel/dp/B005188T90/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461086988&sr=8-1&keywords=stanley+pot
I bought it at target on sale though I know some people get a little fancy with utensils but I just got a fork from kroger and use a pocket knife
Buy
- a small cook pot and throw away the cups
- a small camp stove or cheapest make an alcohol stove
- a spork
- natural soap (eg dr bronners) and put some in a travel bottle
- a sponge and cut it in half
- optional - a small kitchen camping towel or dishrag
Get your packet of food. If it's clumpy (eg rice) break it up with your hands while its closed. Pour it into your cook pot with a couple tablespoons of water. Cover, heat, and stir frequently until it's hot.
Eat out of the pot and scrape up every last bit. If needed pour a little water in there and really scrape up and eat every bit.
Heat a little water and a few drops of your soap and clean out the pot. Dispose of the water in the fire pit or garbage.
Rinse out the pot and air dry, wipe dry, or heat up some water for a hot drink
When you're done put all those things inside the pot and put on the lid.
Good kit!
just few notes, for a cook kit something like https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-Adventure-Camp-Stainless-Steel/dp/B005188T90/ref=sr_1_10?crid=1HW6JI3YABZIM&keywords=stanly&qid=1652217117&sprefix=stanley%2Caps%2C96&sr=8-10
would be a great addition, also could downsize the large blade sharpener for a compact diamond file one
also for the tarp hitting it with some silicone hydrophobic spray if you are in a wetter climate

(also if you want to add some food production , some fixture metal wire for snares, and yo-yo reels for autonomous fishing if that's viable for your area https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Fishers-Fishing-Package-TRIGGER/dp/B00BCLP0F6/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3KPFOA4LAS1NE&keywords=yoyo+reels&qid=1652217610&sprefix=yoyo+reels%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&smid=A1ZJ0FT1LVYVUP&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUE5TjlETDhQVTg0STgmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA1MTgxMzRSUjQyVUFGMzdIWEEmZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMDk5ODU2MTJZMlVJSE5ERlhZU1kmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl)
all in all good setup!
Instead of one of those $80 UL titanium cook pots, I picked up a Stanley for $20 at Walmart. It is very light and works perfect on my MSR Pocket Rocket or in the campfire. Here it is on Amazon for for $15: https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-Adventure-Camp-Stainless-Steel/dp/B005188T90/ref=asc_df_B005188T90[https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-Adventure-Camp-Stainless-Steel/dp/B005188T90/ref=asc_df_B005188T90](https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-Adventure-Camp-Stai...
My SO and I use this basic stainless steel pot to boil water and we have these reusable flat-pack pour over filters. We bring whole beans and have a cheap, manual coffee grinder. My SO bought the grinder, so I'm not sure if this is the exact one, but it looks very similar and might be.

I have a more backpacking-friendly version of this that I cobbled together. Stanley Adventure pot that sits inside a 27oz cup that sits inside a 20oz cup. My stove and spices fit inside the Stanley Adventure. Everything nestles together perfectly with no loose parts rattling around.

I dont actually use the cups, and for some reason the tab on top of the lid is rubber and melted. So I replaced it with a metal key ring and that works great

Very light. I put it in my cook kit. I put one of the cups that comes with, in first. The burner goes in the cup and a fuel canister goes in upside down. Lid closes perfectly.
Sounds like as far as gear your doing good, my suggestions are maybe a gum blanket they're great water proof ground barriers and dont take up a lot of room. Some have a slit to double as a poncho like they traditionally did in the old days. A good Ferro rod with a magnesium block will help with damp tinder has for me anyways, and Hot Snot fire starter works well. I got some in a gift pack and stuff works great when you're in a wet environment or dont have any tinder, it comes in a tube like tooth paste. As far as a cook set if you want something super simple and small Stanley makes a little cook set with two cups thats decent and like $10 https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-Adventure-Camp-Stainless-Steel/dp/B005188T90/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=camp+cook+set&qid=1606790009&sr=8-6
or this one that is a frying pan set. https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-Adventure-Prep-Eat-32oz/dp/B01MSDVPWV/ref=pd_bxgy_2/144-4575415-4353104?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01MSDVPWV&pd_rd_r=78a9eab3-c4a9-43e8-bf45-899c163ffbe2&pd_rd_w=KXtPg&pd_rd_wg=LfA3N&pf_rd_p=f325d01c...
Both sets are nesting sets and take minimal sapce. Also the dehydration thing made me think of something I toss in my first aid kit. Little powder packs of electrolyte mix you can add to a bottle of water. They can really make a difference when you're feeling dehydrated. Not a major thing but something that maybe nice to have. You can pick them up at the dollar store for like $4. The box has 2 packs of each of the three flavors.

I have this Plano 68qt bin My small dishpan fits perfectly in 1/2 of it - filled with plates, cups, silverware, dish towels, a small cast iron skillet and a pot from my kitchen. I also got this pot to use as a kettle They had a small plastic bin at Home Depot that fit on the other side of the bin - that’s where I pack my food. I usually have room for 1-2 propane tanks too, and have a separate bag for my stove.
I got thermarest base camp sleeping pads. I’m not sure they are the best choice for us, my daughter usually wiggles her way off in the night and I’m a side sleeper who could use a tiny bit more cushion. But they are warm and pretty comfortable.
I got mine on amazon: Stanley Cook set. We have the plastic cups in our camping box but never use them, and it took nothing to drill holes in the side to put a bottle holder in.
Amazon only does the pathfinder cup with a bottle now and it's a bit steep, but bushcraft lab does the cup alone for much less: link
There's an alternative that sits outside of the stanley cookset on amazon - it's pretty much the same as the pathfinder cup and I've got this on a second pot set: link
You have way too much stuff. This is excessive even for a bug out kit.
- ~~3 short cords~~
- ~~6 long cords~~
- 1 roll of 550 cord (100m) Why all the cordage? Bring 25m. You'll never need it anyway.
- ~~2~~ lanterns Why two? I wouldn't bring even one myself, but I can understand it as a luxury item. Def not two.
- ~~2~~ torches (they have multiple settings for dimness and focus) Again, don't need two. You'll have your headlamp and lantern for backup. Are you planning on hiking at night?
- ~~1 headlamp Multiple batteries (AA and AAA)~~ Batteries are so heavy. I don't know how long you're going to be out there, but unless it's ages you won't need replacements. If it is ages, consider getting a battery bank and usb-rechargable lights.
- ~~2~~ Nalgene bottles (1400mL/48oz) Nalgenes are heavy but sturdy. I get it. Again, though, why two? Look into a Sawyer Squeeze / Smartwater bottle system.
- 1 IMPS NET, personalized net system I'd never heard of this. Looks like a lightweight hammock? Super dope. A light hammock is my luxury item too <3
- 1 medical kit (I can open and breakdown contents if requested)
- ~~3 tourniquets~~ Probably don't need any; definitely don't need 3.
- ~~1 small emergency kit (can open if requested)~~ Just carry the right amount of stuff elsewhere.
- 1 “dude” wipes for personal and anti-bacterial Make yourself a little toiletry kit: this stuff, TP, toothpaste/brush, etc.
- ~~SAM splint (36”/91.4 cm)~~
- 2 bandage wraps
- 1 teton 400 sports camping bag I'm assuming this is a summer bag and the REI is winter?
- ~~1 tarp~~ For what?
- 1 two-person tent
- 1 memory foam pillow
- 1 REI sleeping bag (comfort level: 10 degrees C)
- 1 rolled sleeping mat Don't lose this, but do try it out before you use it in the field. If it's not for you, there are decent inflatable pads that pack smaller and lighter and provide more support for about $35
- ~~1 set of camping tools (saw/axe/firestarter/carrying handle)~~ If you insist on processing your own firewood, I'd bring either the saw or the axe. Not both
- ~~1 boot knife~~
- 1 multi tool
- ~~1 foldable shovel~~ So much weight! You probably won't need a foxhole.
- ~~3~~ external batteries Uno.
Good start, but I'd seriously pare this down. That weight is a killer. The two glaring items missing are a cook kit and a water filter.
This Stanley Kit (only $9!) paired with this mug ($4 at Walmart) is a helluva deal. (Nest the Stanley in the mug, lose the included cups, store your canister fuel, stove, and fire starter inside of the Stanley.) Some variation of this little stove will do the trick.
As for the water filter, the Sawyers are popular for a reason.
Oh, consider picking up a cheap dry bag or two to keep your food and trash in (especially at night). Even if you aren't in bear country, it'll save you from raccoons and other critters in the night. The cheap $5 ones on Amazon or ebay work well enough.
I use this camping pot and it's been great: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005188T90/
I have this one, and this one. they're both kinda heavy since they're SS and not titanium etc. I use the second on my PCT trip, and prefer it over the first one. Only complaint is the size, wish it was about half as big. On the other hand, I can fit the stove and a can of fuel inside of it. if it was smaller I'd save weight but lose room. Also I don't use any of the other stuff that comes with it, just the pot.
Here's the one I have, it works perfectly for mayo but it's not see through: Stanley Adventure Camp Cook Set 24oz Stainless Steel https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005188T90/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_RTqVxbKFR2GKC
Stainless steel camping cup from my local Walmart
Specifically this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005188T90/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_924Cwb8EFZJ92
Depending on your budget, there's a few different ways you can go for carrying water.
The easiest option is to get a steel Nalgene bottle as u/Gullex already mentioned, or a steel Kleen Kanteen, just make sure you choose one that can nest inside your GSI cup. The regular plastic Nalgene's nest in the cup perfectly, but I'm not sure about the steel ones as I don't own any.
The second option is to go the uber-cheap route and use a regular plastic soda bottle. If you end up replacing the LifeStraw with the Sawyer Mini as was suggested, you can screw the filter directly on to the soda bottle and drink from it that way, removing the need to boil water. I also recommend the Sawyer filter as it is twice as effective and lasts 1000x longer than the LifeStraw.
The 3rd option is to get a regular plastic HDPE Nalgene bottle and rely on your GSI cup for boiling. The HDPE Nalgenes are very inexpensive and actually preferred by back-country connoisseurs as they have more give to them and won't crack as easily, especially when frozen. This allows you to freeze a bottle to use as a cooler when you want to keep perishable food from going bad on the trail, or to freeze a bottle half way then top off with water to keep a supply of cool drinking water while hiking. They are also more UV resistant than the Tritan bottles. Like all Nalgenes they're leak proof and nearly indestructible, you can't go wrong with anything they make really.
You could look into getting a GI Canteen set to replace your GSI cup. You can get nesting stoves and covers for these sets as well, making a pretty versatile combo that packs into quite a small space.
The setup I use right now is a Stanley Adventure cook set, a GSI Glacier cup, and a HDPE Nalgene bottle coupled with a Sawyer Mini and a soda bottle that's been squished flat to remove the air. This works perfectly for my particular backpack, as the two side pockets are mesh with elastic draw strings to hold items tight. I put the Stanley set on one side, and the GSI cup with the Nalgene nested in it on the other side. When I need more water, I fill the soda bottle from the stream, screw on the Sawyer filter, and refill the Nalegene bottle. One tip I learned to keep debris out of your filter is to cover the top of the bottle with one of those pantyhose socks they give you free when trying on shoes at shoe stores.
The Stanley set is big enough to hold all my cooking gear including an ultralight stove, and the strainer lid for it fits perfectly on the GSI cup, making it easy to cook a second dish or make a hot beverage to go with your meal.
I would suggest replacing the Coghlan's saw eventually as well. I used to have one but it broke without too much use, so I've switched to a Bahco and haven't looked back. If I had the money now and didn't already have a great saw I'd spend a little extra on a Silky (considered the best saws), but I'm 100% happy with the Bahco.
Here are some links to the items I'm talking about:
Stanley Adventure Cook Set: http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-Adventure-Camp-Stainless-Steel/dp/B005188T90/ (great because the lid also fits the GSI cup you have)
GSI Glacier Bottle Cup: http://www.amazon.com/GSI-Outdoors-Glacier-Stainless-Bottle/dp/B001LF3IB6/ (looks like you already own one, a Nalgene bottle fits it perfectly)
Sawyer Mini Water Filter: http://www.amazon.com/Sawyer-Products-SP128-Filtration-System/dp/B00FA2RLX2/ (best filter on the market @ .1 Micron for 100k gallons, screws onto pop bottles and can be used in-line with Camelbacks, etc.)
Stove: http://www.amazon.com/Ultralight-Backpacking-Canister-Stove-Ignition/dp/B00ENDROMW/ (The stove in its case fits inside the Stanley set without taking out the cups)
