My Cook system for the Appalachian Trail is pretty simple. A stove, pot, spoon, food bag, and koozie make up the main items.

Stove: For my stove, I have kept going back and forth between the BRS-3000t and the MSR Pocket Rocket 2. To start out with I am going to use the BRS-3000 and see how it does, worst case I have my husband send me my pocket rocket.

Pot: Since I will only be boiling water in my pot and not using it to really cook with I decided to take my Toaks 750ml instead of my Toaks 900ml.

Spoon: So originally I started out backpacking with a spork and quickly found it to be pointless and a pain to clean in between the teeth of it. I also like it to be polished (again for easier cleaning) so I have gone with the Toaks Long Handled Polished Spoon.

Bag & Pot Koozie: In order to help aide in cooking many of my meals using freezer bags, I made a koozie for both the bag and my pot.

Lighter: Most people choose to use a mini Bic lighter, I chose to go with a full size. I don’t want to be fiddling with a small little lighter when my hands are cold.

Fuel Canister: Any brand of fuel canister works for me, although for the colder months I will be choosing an Iso-Pro blend.

Food Bag: I will be storing all my food in a ZPacks bear bag. It is made of Dyneema so it is waterproof and can be easily hung from the tree to keep out of reach of bears.

Hot Lips: Haha, probably not what you are thinking! On my pot, I use the Snow Peaks Hot Lips when I am drinking tea or hot chocolate from the pot. It keeps my lips from burning off my face =)
