Hadn't heard of Striker hexamine, so "Googled" them. EBay UK shows Strider hexamine tablets but does not ship to USA. I should save the reference in case we ever make it to the area. Good to know, so, thanks, Alf!

Back to the lightweight cooking gear: I have assorted aluminum, titanium, even stainless steel. My FAVORTE is a repurposed 12 fl oz aluminum Vienna sausage can. Hate the contents, but the can itself is worth it. If I want more than 10 oz of hot water, I just pour off the first batch and heat more water. If I am cooking, OK, heating water, for only myself, this pot/cup is my go-to for backpacking. In the summer, I typically have only one hot meal per day (comfort factor) and may get by with .5 Esbit per day. Instant coffee can be consumed cold or in a shake, and chocolate covered coffee beans can be part of a wake up trail mix breakfast.
