Absolutely top notch mug. Very, very light. Throw a small stove in (I use a LiteMax) and throw a 110g fuel can on top, grab a small stuff sack and stuff a handkerchief on top and cinch it up with a spork inside and your cookset is good to go.

Only single downside is if you dent the mug with your fuel can inside you may not get it, or your stove, out. So you do have to be a bit careful with how you place it in your pack so as to not bend or dent the mug.

Also, if you've never had a hot drink out of titanium... for the love of God, make sure you're holding the handle if you pour something hot into it. If you're holding the body of the mug you'll scream like a little schoolgirl and throw your scalding drink all over your tent, your buddy, or yourself. Titanium transfers heat almost instantaneously.

PS. Some people like using the Hot Lips silicon edge, but I don't mind sipping quickly to prevent any major pain. The Hot Lips seems like a luxurious bauble.
