Ah, wow. That's a heavy pack fabric. But I think very similar to what my Mountainsmith (SAR) pack is made of - it's all about durability.

Most people I know fall into two camps. The Jetboil/white gas camp, where the kitchen kit weighs a few pounds, and the alcohol camp, where the pot, stove and windscreen weigh maybe five ounces, add three ounces of fuel for the weekend.

Mine is a 4 oz pot, three ounce stove/windscreen combo, and about 4 oz of fuel, as I generally like hot breakfasts and dinners.
