I have been looking at all the sets out there, and so far I have been leaning towards the MSR stainless steel sets. That and the Outback Oven to go with it. If the Walmart unit is serviceable I have no objections to saving a bit of money. I don't buy my gear to impress others, I buy it to use. But I usually go with the best quality I can find, I figure it is cheaper in the long run to buy the good stuff once. Mike -- Paddling along through fog so thick that only one's thoughts are visible, your reverie is abruptly shattered by the ancient cry of a great blue heron as she lifts uncertainly from the brilliant blue of a mussel-shell beach witnessed only by the brooding, wet spruce....your passage home seems as much back through time as it does through space.
