Hey there Campers and Backpackers!
The last couple of days for us up here in the Northeast have been wonderful as far as the weather, the leaves and the Sunshine. Boy, has it been nice outside! Sunny warm days. Chilly, starry nights. The best that Autum has to offer. Nice enough to take a Sunday afternoon and head outside for a family bike ride at Chenango Valley State Park, located just outside of Binghamton, NY.
We packed up the bike gear and the family to do a tour around the park. Riding bikes works up an appitite so we planned to take some of the instant cup-of-soups that you find in the grocery store. These soups, although 'instant', are really very good. Just add boiling water and you have a great hearty meal. We took along some crackers and cheese. The kids always want Hot Chocolate.
This would be a perfect opportunity to try out the GSI Dualist Cookset that's been a big hit this summer at the We Do Campstoves online Campstove and Backpacking Cookware site.
After several miles of trail biking we found a great place right by the lake to stop for lunch. It couldn't have been more ideal; right by the water in the sun with the leaves in all of thier glory. It was heaven!
Out of our backpacks came our lunches, the MSR DragonFly stove and the GSI Dualist cookset. It took only a minute to set up and lunch was on its way. Take a look at this GSI Dualist cookset.
This cookset is loaded with features. The first thing to notice is the folding handle. It folds over the top for storage and for packing. It locks in place while in use - Very stable. The lid has an integrated strainer (we didn't use it for this outing). When you cook your pasta, you just drain the extra water through the holes in the lid. Very clever - and best of all - You don't carry a strainer with you for this task. The Dualist comes with two sets of containers. One is insulated with a neopreme 'cozy' for your warm foods, the other is a cup for drinking. There's also a lid with a 'sippy' port for drinking through. Also, the cookpot has enough room inside to store a fuel canister AND the stove head! The kit comes with a stove head storage bag to keep things safe inside the cookpot. This is one hot setup! No wonder we have been selling LOTS of these units!
So, next time you plan an outing where you want to do some cooking or just heat some water for a
quick meal or drink, we here at We Do Campstoves HIGHLY recommend the GSI Dualist or the GSI Soloist for this important piece of your gear. You will be glad that you've added it to your equipment list.Happy Camping!
