I like OM’s idea with the trekking pole and I just remembered that’s what I do to. I just never thought about it. MY GG pole fits my GG Squall Classic perfectly.

I also like OM’s idea using the leatherman micra pliers as a pot holder. But I was wondering, because there is no 90° bend in the plier, doesn’t this require the hand to get the brunt of the steam (when lifting) thus getting a steam burn?

My other dual use item is my JRB Shenandoah quilt. It has a poncho hole. I don’t bring a coat (except for the O2 rain jacket) so this has saved weight. But that’s only for 3 season.
