A Kelly Kettle:

.. cheap, light, and easy to operate, it has made my outdoor expeditions so much more comfortable, and for some reason provides peace of mind since, if the grid goes kablooey, there's plenty of twigs for the next cuppa tea ..

do you take it backpacking? i would be concerned finding dry kindling if you relied in it for boiling water/cooking
It cooks well enough that you'd always find something useable unless it's torrential rain and you'd get used to carrying a few bits of dry flammables with you. The size of thing makes it not very suitable for backpacking though. It's great to have in your open boat, van etc though.
got it, seems nice for that. for weight/bulk, hard to beat a msr pocketrocket, 750ml toaks pot, and tiny cannister of fuel.
I have the version of the MSR pocket rocket which Alpkit sells in the UK. I'm friends with the founders so often buy from them and their equivalent is half the price of the MSR. They sell good functional kit [1]
