GSI Pinnacle Dualist Camping Cookware Review

My latest backpack camping trip afforded me the opportunity to try out some of the new gear I purchased.  I am fast becoming a fan of the GSI product line.  Not quick to pull the trigger on any purchases without making sure I am getting the best quality at the best prices, my search for camping gear has taken me to Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's, Sport's Authority, REI, Dick's Sporting Goods and a variety of Army Navy Surplus stores.  I have discovered that some of the best prices for camping gear has been "online" at Amazon and Campmor.  They both ship surprisingly quick and complete.  Although you have to wait a few days for your new goods, the value makes it worth the wait.

Though GSI refers to this item as "Dualist", implying that this product is ideal for 2 people, I would make the argument that this cookware is great for as many as 4 people depending on how you use it.

The cups and bowls are nearly the same size, making morning oatmeal perfect for 4.  The "cups" stack neatly within one another which then fit precisely into the cooking pot.  The cooking pot will also hold your large fuel cannister and compact cooker, maximizing the space within the pot.  Purchase two more spoons and you have a complete breakfast set for 4.  For cups we used the ones that came with the Bugaboo Backpacker set, also by GSI.   



When you are packing 2 tents and 3 sleeping bags, you need all the room you can spare and the Pinnacle Dualist is a must for 2 or more.  I highly recommend it.
