I'm not one to buy the smaller canisters. Bear canisters are necessary evils and I struggle to find multiple uses for them. Using the lid to heat water (Lighter1) would make 4 uses for the thing. I like that. I am still looking for something better at this point. Anyway, that's my take. You might want to rent as has been discussed.
Well, now that i figured out from their silly web site that 6 oz is the *weight* of the lid and not the *capacity* of the lid (Darn you americans and your ancient measurement systems) so that it might be useful, I'm sort of considering the weights of these canisters to be 2 ounces more than listed - since the "lid" is 2 ounces heavier than my pot and if I end up taking one of those I won't take my pot
