Camping and Outdoors backpacking equipment…?

admin — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 12:24:26 +0000

I am planning a backpacking trip across the states. I plan on going off the beaten track, very bush crafty. I need a way to purify water and cook my food. I found this really awesome camping pot thing. It’s called the Snow Peak Trek 900. I really like how the lid doubles as a frying pan. Anyway, every time i search to buy one, the snow peak trek 1400 comes up. They look pretty much the same, and i was wondering if there was a difference between the two.
Cheers!
