Wondering if I can nest a 32 oz Nalgene inside and put the lid on the bottom? Pretty much wondering what Titanium pots will work for that matter and this purpose of nesting with a naglene. I have a Vargo Triad Xe stove. So saving space this might do it if I can fit them together nicely. I always keep my nalgene in my aether side pocket with a GSI Cup around it, they fit perfect. But the GSI cup is only 18oz (Too small and no lid)...most of these are pots are 24oz...perfect for a 16oz mountain meal and more...I believe it could handle a cup of joe as well. I might be going at this wrong but using space well is a big difference. let me know what you guys think...I will post this question at the other Titanium pots.

Of all the Trek pots I own, the 700 lid fits the best. For all, I use a big rubber to hold them on, especially when I'm nesting other parts of my kit inside. They are excellent cookware though, and they're usually the first things I reach for, unless I'm going out with a few people or have to melt lots of snow and need something bigger. For your purposes, either the Trek or the Backcountry 700s will let you nest your Vargo and your 1L Nalgene above that, with an essentially flat lid under the pot, but still in the stuff sack. From that standpoint, you're right on the mark in your choice of either. I honestly can't think of anything better, and it all comes down to a few minor features and price comparison. Hope that helped.

Is it a sloppy fit or snug? I do like your strainer comment...very useful. Am I missing an option here or do you think this will work well phil?

Of the 3 pots you asked about, this one is another that will work besides the Backcountry 700ml. Second choice for a pot with more volume is the Trek 900, but the lid isn't flat. With either one, the stuff sacks are roomy, which will make keeping things together that much easier.
