Breakfast, wherever you put the kettle — MSR PocketRocket 2
Cold fingers. Missing spoon. Coffee suddenly essential. MSR’s compact canister stove makes a case for keeping the camp kitchen small.

Morning at camp. Cold fingers. A spoon that has migrated somewhere without permission. Coffee is no longer a preference; it is now part of the route plan.
A very small kitchen
The MSR PocketRocket 2 is a 73-gram canister stove for the traveler whose culinary ambition begins, sensibly, with boiling water. A pot, compatible fuel, and the rest of the camp setup still belong on the packing list; this is the small metal argument that brings them together. Consult MSR’s instructions for fuel compatibility and safe outdoor use. Then attend to breakfast.
