Every year I set one of those two pots off to the side as I begin packing thinking I don't need it. When things get fine tuned it think, it nestles so well - why not so I always end up taking it and I'm always glad I did.  I have a bowl and a plate and a cup too. And just to be decadent, a fork and a spoon and a Lexan knife!

I did bite the bullet a few years back and stopped taking the ladle that came in so handy on group trips. I have asbestos fingers compared to most it seems. A stick works too.
