GSI Outdoors Halulite Microdualist Cookset

I am constantly looking for ways to lighten my backpack, especially on extended backpacking trips. As a consequence, I look for ways to carry only what I need at the same time making it easier to carry. When I saw the microdualist cookset from GSI, I knew that I had to try it. It comes with a pot big enough to boil water for a two-person dehydrated meal with some left over for hot chocolate. There are two bowls of orange and two of blue that nest together. Two of the bowls have a removable/washable cover with a snap-on lid with a "sippy" slot for hot drinks, The other two are for eating meals. The set also comes with a lid for the pot, two collapsible sporks and a carrying bag. I really loved the experience I had with this cookset. It was very light and took up a very small space in my backpack. The material this was made of conducted heat well and water boiled quickly. By removing one of the bowl sets and leaving it behind, I could also nest my Pocket Rocket stove and a small canister of fuel inside the pot which really saved on space compared with what I usually have to carry. It was easy to use, cleaned up easily, and is a great set. It was just what I needed and I would recommend it highly

I take this every time I go car camping or backpacking! I love the versatility. I also love that I can have a meal and my coffee at the same time. Also I love how compact it is, it packs down nicely!

Great product! Use it all the time and I love that I can fit my Jetboil Mini-Mo inside one of the bows for extra compactness. Using it this morning though the handle that you squeeze together and flips down did pop out of its little hole, took a couple seconds of screwing around to get it back in but then it was good as new!

I put a lot of thought into my cookset when shopping, and decided on this one. I camp with buddies a lot, and they never bring their own cookware. The duelist seemed like a good idea.



Pros:

Light, small, does the job, has an amazing stack design, eat'n tool fits.



Cons: Only fits smaller fuel canisters, requires some grinder action to fit the pocket rocket, sporks require replacement immediately, not the best for cooking messy food.



When by myself, I leave a bowl set out and it makes everything easier to pack. If you're legitimately backpacking for two, get the slightly larger duelist. The larger size is compensated with fitting more better. If you're always going by yourself, get the soloist. The microduelist set seems to be a weird in-between.

This cookset was very well thought out. Packs together perfectly nothing is sticking out awkwardly or falling out of place. One of the bowls has graduated marks so I can't accidentally turn my turkey tetrazini into soup. Handle is plenty long enough so there is no risk of burning your hand. More important to some it's light. I could go on and on, I love this cookset!

This kit is of good quality, light and cheap! You can fit an MSR Pocket Rocket in it and some cleaning stuff.

This cookset is perfect for two people. You can even use it for just one if you would like by just removing one set. Its lightweight and I love how everything fits inside (including my stove and fuel).

I'll come right out and say it, this is likely the BEST kit out there. My girlfriend and I picked it up on a whim; it was on sale for ~ $35 and we couldn't pass it up. First of all, this is the perfect size for 2 backpackers. I love that each set is color coded (that way I can't get blamed if her stuff goes missing). This is a clearly well thought out product. On top of that, this thing is a tank! We are going on three years with this set and it looks like the day we bought it (with the exception of some browning in the handle hinge from heat exposure). I'm pretty sure this thing is impossible to dent. I have even used it during military field exercises. It works well with our MSR Pocket Rocket. My biggest joy in this kit is it's versatility. If I'm going light and fast on a solo trip, it is still small enough to take along. I just pull out one of the kits inside and use the rest of the space for storage. It really is a one size fits all kit. We have sold all of our other backpacking cookware.

On the negative side... the lid with the pouring holes is a great idea, I just wish it held on a little more snuggly. I have had it blow off in the wind. Luckily, the handle folds over the top to retain the entire kit when stowed away. The big concern I have for this system is that water seems to boil a little slower in this pot than in others (MSR Alpine Stowaway). Not much, but it's noticeable. All in all, this is a great product and is no-doubt, the best kit on the market.

Very light and compact. The pot is really nice for boiling water for meals. Overall amazing quality!

When I'm hiking, I eat like a race horse, and often require multiple bowls. Not only that, but packing down multiple bowls often means that youre taking up more space in your pack.



This set is just great, bowls fit in the pot, plus you can get creative and fit a few more goodies in the bowl inside the pot, like a small cylinder stove, powdered milk, or whatever else you choose.



The only problem that I found was that the sporks that are included are extremely flimsy, one of them broke on my first night out. Lesson learned though - dont try and stab your food, especially if its a dehydrated meal.



I'd definitely use this again, quite frankly, I enjoyed nothing more than a coffee in one of the bowls with the lid on, watching the sun drop.
