I had been agonizing over how to put together a cook set, studying the various examples at REI, LL Store etc. Every time I found something I liked it was RIDICULOUSLY expensive (check out the titanium stuff). So finally in frustration I just bought this little five-piece set from Walmart for about $10 (it has fold out handles with some sort of plastic for heat protection). Love it. Works just fine. Even came with two plastic mugs. Weighs very little and has its own stuff sack. I love Walmart. Some discussion of tents has started, too. Another thing I agonized over. I have an REI Trail Dome, which is large, that I have used for car and canoe camping with friend and dog. It fits in the Caribou hatch, but it's way too big. I bought a North Face "Slickrock" - very light, compact, extremely easy to set up, and plenty roomy. Served fine on recent trip, including rainy night.
