About to buy a Titanium Pot cos the Ultralight Borg told you so? Stop! Watch this video first.

I look into various camping pots and cookware and discuss the problems with Titanium that I didn't realise as someone new to trying to be more light with my camping and hiking, and why I've settled on heavier aluminium pot like the Fire Maple FM XK6.

I discuss the Lixada 750ml Titanium Pot - and why it's as ‪@soletrail‬ said a rather deceptive size as discussed in this video    • Is This Sized WRONG? Lixada Titanium ...   with the Alpkit Titanium 600ml bowl and compare it to the Fire Maple 1 Litre FMC-XK6 Aluminium pot with heat exchanger, a cheap Chinese aluminium set with pot and pan, and talk about the Sea To Summit X-Mug and the Primula Brew Buddy.

Orikaso set https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314685872811
Alpkit Mytibowl - https://alpkit.com/products/mytibowl-600 - they also sell a proper Mytipan but this was deeper so I could use it as a bowl as well.

I learned a few things during this video:

1) don't make a video in the evening rush hour; the new Boys microphone is ace, but sounds a bit crap cos I had to noise reduce bits - although where I live in London, it's always busy

2) Don't start a video about an hour before dusk.

On the other side, loving Capcut and the new desktop functionality, This will help in future.

Also I am using my old battered Android and have no money for anything better, so if you'd like more of these but with something better, donate at https://ko-fi.com/tjbarts

EDIT: had a few trolls in the comments (apparently I am the anti-christ for suggesting aluminium, I thought tin foil hats were also aluminium ;-)? Sadly as my channel grows had to put in moderation tools, so if your comment doesn't appear immediately, it might use a keyword or link accidentally, so please wait for it to appear.

Oh and the rule is BE NICE in the comments. If you aren't, don't expect a response, or a response you like.
