In this age of 24/7 connectivity, that goes for the backcountry as well.
How do you power your cellphone, GPS, Digital Camera, iPod, etc miles from the nearest outlet.

Cue the PowerPot. A 1 1/2 liter aluminum pot that will provide power while you cook. The PowerPot has a thermoelectric generator embedded in its base that converts heat into 5 volts of DC electrical power. Fill the pot and place it on a heat source and the PowerPot will powering up any of your mobile electronics. The PowerPot uses a USB port with 3 feet of flame resistant cable.

The handy thing about this PowerPot is you can use any heat source–from open campfire to a gas range at home. Works on trail or in an unexpected power outage at home.

We loaded it up with a package of freeze dried Chicken Marsala and in ten minutes had a steaming hot meal and we registered an extra bar of power on our iPhone. Probably close to 20% of a charge. Certainly enough to make a call or two. It would take at least an hour, if not two, for a full charge. That’s a lot of cooking. But for emergency power–and a opportunity to sterilize some water.

Five watts of power or 1 watt of continuous 5 volt power. Pot is made of hard anodized aluminum and is 4.5:” x 8″ with the lid/bowl in place. Weighs 18 oz with cord and lid.

$150

Vargo Titanium BOT - Water Bottle / Cooking Pot
Vargo Titanium BOT — Water Bottle/Cooking Pot

No need to carry both a water bottle and cooking pot, the “BOT” is designed to be used as both–and in Titanium, no less for you ultralight weight savers.

The BOT slips  into most water bottle pockets for easy access whether you need a quick drink or when you’re preparing to tuck in. The screw-top lid turns upside down and nestles in the top as a cooking lid. The temperature resistant O-ring won’t melt when exposed to high heat. The lid is pot-lifter friendly and easy to grip.

Capacity: 1.0 Liters (34 ounces) Weight: 4.7 ounces (133 grams) Dimensions: 6.5 L x 3.9 D inches (165 x 99 mm). Check the Vargo website for their various Titanium cooksets, stoves, campware (don’t miss the titanium chopsticks), and the rest of the “Titanium Lifestyle,” as they put it.
