My situation is far from the backcountry but maybe you can help.
To make a short story long, I shoot in precision rifle matches. These are just 1 day trips but I often have a 2-3 hour drive in the early morning. I always pack lunch, snacks, water, etc. I always arrive early to allow for any traffic or mishaps along the way. In the colder months I would like to be able to have something warm to eat once I get there. I don't plan on doing any real cooking but some oatmeal with a handful of berries would be better on a cold morning than just a banana.
I was looking at MSR Windburner and Reactor and remembered I have a small stove. I have a Coleman single burner 533, white gas stove. I packed this along on a few canoe trips several years ago. I fired up the stove and it still works.
Weight isn't an issue but I need some cookware that is pretty durable as it will live in a truck toolbox. I'm thinking maybe a tea kettle type pot will be best? I plan on only heating water. Any suggestions on a pot or kettle for boiling? I would also like a bowl or cup of some type to prepare oatmeal that wont burn my hands ( no plastic ) . Maybe a cup as well for coffee or tea. Making coffee is on my mind too and I have read several posts on these pages discussing that topic.
I think camping type cookware would serve me better and be more durable than paper cups and bowls and I'm quite certain I couldn't sneak my wife's tea kettle out of the house. Thank you for reading and for any input you may provide. I am also not opposed to getting a new stove with an integrated pot if that would be easier.
