Cookware - I have amassed 4 or maybe even 5 sets of pots. Some are for the car, some are for going real light but mostly they never get used except for a GSI set that has a pot, frying pan, plastic strainer lid, and a tub that fits everything inside to wash the dishes in. Tried finding one online to show you but models have changed almost like a Bugaboo and Bse Camper cross set. Came with cups but they never get used and usually are left behind in favour of a proper travel mug. I suppose I could have just settled with the larger set but when I'm solo I consider every pound I take. I don't travel light per se but if I can save some weight here it means adding a luxury there.
That's a nice set nonstick but they look kinda small. I like to have one decent sized pot to boil water in. The GSI and MSR sets are nice and if you get them with the anodized cook surface it helps with the uneven heats that you sometimes get cooking outdoors. Even though I have so many already, I do have my eye on these

Sometimes for me it is making them all fit together into a nice compact and lightweight unit that is easy to pack and carry yet strong durable and functional for my style of camping. I know Hoop prefers to cook on a fire and therefore his cook wear is geared towards that. Me I like the ease of the stove. Fire is always a back-up if the stove fails.
Allot has to do with you cooking style too. Are you a boil in the bag freeze dried and MRE type of guy or do you the glamping approach of the outdoor gourmet?
Me, I like easy. But I like healthy too so I've been trying to develop a way of creating my one simple one pot just boil up type of meals from scratch using my dehydrator at home. I know guys (and gals, let's not leave them out) who will pack along whole cabbages, onions and frozen steaks. Sounds yummy but way to much weight for my aching back.
Really for my I attempt a double or triple carry. Big main pack on the first trip, canoe and food barrel on the second trip. My main pack is likely close to 75 pounds, the food barrel starts out around 50 and the canoe is 55. The voyageurs carried 90 pound bales, 2 and even 3 at a time over the portages. Some say those sashes they wore was a cultural thing but as I understand it they were used to keep their hernias from bulging too bad. I have a small hernia and don't want any more so that is why I like to consider the weight. I'm not quite ready to wear a sash yet.
Everybody is different, and we all have our own tolerance for weight discomfort, luxury discomfort and food preferences. Thing is you learn a little bit from everybody, sometimes what you learn is what not to do, but you still learn from them. Tell us about your trips and talk about what didn't work and what you found did. Even the most seasoned of traveller can learn from a novice.
