WTB: lightweight 2L pot and lid

[Eli3]

I'm looking for a lightweight 2L pot and lid - it'd be nice if the pot holder was integrated. Or does anyone know where I can get the MSR blacklight pot & lid without the rest of the cook kit?

Go to REI. Buy the 2 liter aluminum pot for $9. It's lighter than the MSR blacklight. It's cheaper than the MSR blacklight. You will look like an alpine hardman with your new aluminum pot. You will look like a badass once there are a few dents and some residue from a melted sleeping bag on the outside of your new 2 liter aluminum pot.

The MSR Blacklight is crap! It's light, but it hardly takes anything to scratch the non-stick coating. I had mine scratched before I even used it once. Once you've washed the pot out with pine needles a few times, it'll be worthless.

By contrast, my aluminum Sigg Tourist cookset has served me for almost 30 years, although I recently had to retire the smaller pot because I finally wore a hole in it. There's nothing wrong with aluminum. If you must go high tech, try the anodized aluminum GSI set. It's much more durable and still non-stick.
