GSI Outdoors Bugaboo Mess Kit

Yes, the ceramic non-stick coating is specifically designed to be scratch-resistant and more durable than traditional Teflon-style coatings. While it holds up well to standard camp cooking, we still recommend using silicone or wooden utensils to ensure the surface lasts for many seasons.

It covers the essentials for a solo hiker. The kit includes a 1-quart pot, a 7.5-inch fry pan that doubles as a lid, a bowl, a cup, and a pot gripper. You will just need to bring your own stove, fuel, and utensils.

The entire set is designed to nest together, measuring 8 inches by 8 inches by 3.2 inches. It packs down into a mesh bag, making it easy to slide into the side or main compartment of most backpacking packs.

This kit is optimized for use with camp stovetops. While the aluminum construction is robust, using it directly over an open campfire can damage the non-stick coating and cause soot buildup that is difficult to clean.

The included DiamondBack Gripper is designed to lock securely onto the rim of the pot and fry pan. It provides a stable, reliable hold, but always exercise caution when lifting a pot full of boiling water.

No, this kit is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the non-stick coating and the integrity of the materials, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge.
