Evolution Cookware, 30% off

Good camp cookware isn’t ultra-compact, shiny, heavy, or expensive. It is bulky - but only enough that you can actually boil enough water to fit a whole box of mac & cheese in. It’s also black - because cookware that’s black on the outside absorbs heat & heats up faster, plus cookware that’s black on the inside is usually non-stick because that’s easier to clean without wasting water. Light cookware is a must, so don’t bring that 2 liter pot unless you’re going with 3 other people and don’t buy fancy stainless steel or titanium cookware. Finally, good cookware is relatively cheap - the titanim stuff is actually heavier than aluminum of the same size (notice how those titanium pots are always the size of a coffee mug) and stainless steel is usually heavy and shiny anyway.

Sierra Trading Post has several different sizes of Evolution cookware at 30% off. I happen to own the Benchmark set, it even comes with a Teflon-safe scrub pad, and my only complaint is that they should have left the lid out (excess weight and cost) and put a lip on the skillet so it would make a better lid. If you do much car-camping or trips with lots of family then the Camp set, with handles built-in, looks pretty nice. Plus, a few more items in the cart and you can use the recent 50% off coupon too.
