Kelly Kettle Ultimate Stainless Base Camp KitTaking the innovative double walled water kettle of the Kelly Kettle to the next level is the introduction of the Ultimate Base Camp Kit. The Kelly Kettle uses an inner chamber with a center chimney, atop a biomass stove, to rapidly boil water. Now, they have included a pot holder; hobo stove; stainless steel pot, pan, lid, cups and plates; a foldable grill and other accessories to make their kettle an entire cooking system. While you use sticks and twigs to build your fire for heating your water, you can also utilize the once-wasted energy escaping out of the chimney to cook other foods. All the accessories stack inside one another to fit into the included nylon storage bag and easily be transported to camp.
Emberlit Fire Ant Multi-Fuel StoveMost multi-fuel stoves let you use either propane or isobutane as fuel, but the Emberlit Fire Ant is truly a versatile companion that uses wood and twigs from the trail, as well as spirit burners or fuel tablets. It is made of tough stainless steel or titanium for even more weight reduction. The SS version weighs only 6.5 ounces and the TI version weighs in at 3.5 ounces. Both versions fold completely flat and fit into an envelope smaller than a pouch of tuna fish. Even though light, thin and compact, the Fire Ant will hold a fully loaded Dutch oven and easily handle lighter camp pots and pans. Its innovative design ensures you get maximum heat from your fuel source by properly regulating air intake. It is easy to assemble and very quick to get lit and heating.
KUJU CoffeeNot only is the innovative brewing packet of KUJU coffee an easy way to take your favorite java with you, it is amazingly tasty coffee. Available in three roasts, the dark Bold Awakening, the medium Basecamp Blend and the light Angle’s Landing, the beans are sourced from a farm that employs women rescued from sex slavery and a portion of every sale is donated to the National Parks Foundation. The founders of KUJU Coffee come by their good citizenship honestly, as both are Eagle Scouts. Inside the sealed packet is a paper filter with fold out wings that wrap over the lip of your mug. Simply tear off the perforated strip on the top of the filter and slowly pour your hot water in to get a perfectly brewed cup of coffee, even in the most remote locations. And it is less expensive and better tasting than you would get from an overpriced national chain.

Camp Chef Everest Two-Burner Camping StoveWith two high pressure 20,000 BTU burners, this portable powerhouse provides the power of a much larger stove in a portable package. The lid connects to two, fold-out wind guards giving you protection from the wind from three directions.

The stove has fully adjustable knobs and a piezo electric ignition, so you don’t have to lose the hair on your knuckles trying to get it lit. It runs on one-pound portable propane tanks, but Camp Chef also has an optional adapter to allow it to run off larger barbecue-style bulk tanks.
UCO Flatpack Portable Grill and FirepitA lightweight and backpackable solution for places where uncontained fires are prohibited is the UCO Flatpack Portable Grill and Firepit. Made of stainless steel with a steel base, the grill folds up to less than 1.5-inches thick and weighs just 3.2 pounds, so it is light and takes minimal pack space, but provides 130 square inches of grilling surface. The side walls act as a windbreak, but vent holes allow it to be used with wood as well as charcoal briquettes. The nylon carrying bag contains all the parts as well as mitigating soot transfer from the grill to your clean clothes in your pack. The grill can go from carrying bag to fully set up in under 30 seconds with a little practice.

Stanley Steel Pot + French PressFor those who are heavier coffee drinkers, the Steel Pot + French Press from Stanley is an ideal backcountry companion. It is a useful stainless steel cooking pot for boiling water or heating stew, but also has a high temperature nylon sleeve that acts like a French press for brewing your loose, ground Joe. The vented lid is made of the same thermal resistant nylon and has rubber fins for a tight seal so you don’t dribble your precious liquid out the sides while pouring out of the ample spout on the French press insert. Two folding wire handles on the side conform to the roundness of the pot to stay out of the way when stowed, but offer ample grip when in use and act as a heat sink to cool quickly so you don’t burn your paws. The 32-ounce pot is ideal for brewing several cups of coffee at once or for some people, one perfect cup to start your day. The French press does make a nice guard so you don’t burn your lip if you drink straight from the pot. I won’t judge.
