Heat water for tea and coffee quickly and efficiently at the campsite with the Halulite 32-ounce teakettle.
The kettle's coated bail handle folds down for easy packing. Halulite is a proprietary aluminum alloy that's as light as titanium, yet conducts heat better and more evenly, so you can heat more water with less fuel. In addition, every Halulite item is hard anodized to create a surface that withstands scratches and abrasions like nothing else. No matter how many times you knock the kettle off the grill and onto the ground, it comes up ready for more.
The teakettle includes a coated bail handle for safety and easy handling, along with a fitted lid with its own coated lifter. The seamless design is also leakproof, so you won't lose any water during the heating process. Best of all for backpackers, the kettle is sized to hold ultralight stoves and fit optimally in backpacks. Lightweight, easy to handle, and fast heating, the Halulite teakettle is a must for backcountry tea and coffee drinkers.

About GSI Outdoors
GSI opened its doors in 1985, after a small group of British Columbian siblings made their way down the West Coast to San Diego. Beginning with a few pieces of blue enamelware and a smattering of campfire accessories, GSI Outdoors grew through the years to include full design, manufacturing, sales, and marketing departments, all tasked with developing and marketing an ever-more-innovative line of outdoor cookware, tableware, and accessories. Siblings Don, Ian, and Kathy Scott eventually relocated to Spokane, Washington, where they continue to define innovation through the creation of unique, imaginative, and fun products that reassert their enthusiasm for the outdoors.

That said, the likelihood of me bringing this on my next solo backpacking trip is pretty low. when hiking solo, 1 GSI cup for heating and drinking is enough, a kettle, no matter how compact, just isn't worth the weight and space resources.
----
As long as you're drinking from 8 oz cups, this little kettle is good for about 4 cups of coffee.
If you're alone, this may be a bit of a luxury, but if you're two people, this is perfect. And if you don't mind making morning coffee in batches, then this will do just fine.
I've done two survival test backpacking trips this year. It'd really nothing more than a simple test to see if I can stay out and about for a few days and still make it back without getting sick. On both of these trips, I went alone. This kettle would be overkill on such one person backpacking trips, but if you're a couple backpacking together or two friends, this would just about be perfect.
Given the silicone overlay on the handles, this kettle is not well suited for campfires, but a small alcohol, gas stove, or a small coal or fire, this should be okay.
The biggest shocker is how light it is. It's hard to believe. It feels solid, it looks solid, but it weighs less than the uber thin mess kits I've used as a kid. Hard to believe but this is more durable than those kits. I did a little test today and it worked just fine. And with a car camping trip planned for this weekend, I can't wait to test this out with some cowboy coffee in the mornings.
Some other little notes. While this little kettle seems very sturdy, certainly sturdier than any plain aluminium mess kits, it's still based on aluminum, and therefore not immune to dents. Also, there must be some kind of coating on it because the first test yielded quite a bit of smoke. The second test was much less, so there's some burnoff that needs to happen before you can really use this.
Another note, as you can tell from the image, there is a little notch in the main kettle handle. And this is well balanced for hanging off a tripod. Again, though, the silicone will probably melt fairly early on in usage, though it shouldn't be hard to re-coat with something if you're so inclined.
It heats very fast, but also cools very fast, so I'd imagine that you would want to drink as soon as the water is boiling. As an owner of the GSI cup, I did notice that the cup is thicker and heavier than the kettle despite being smaller.
All in all, though, I truly like this cool little kettle and as it's ideal for a compact alcohol or gas stove, it will likely be a stable part of my 3 day emergency bug-out bag when not in use as a car camping essential.
You can fit one of the smaller, mixed gas cylinders inside it.
You can get one with a complete mess kit that fits inside, but this is the one that is just the kettle with nothing else.
You do want to be careful with the handles. Cook with the handles straight up so they can't come in contact with flame/intense heat of a stove. On the highest setting with some stoves, the flames will lick up around the edges, but that is true of almost any lightweight, backpacking cookware. I also wouldn't ever use it with a campfire - the little spout is always open to ash etc. and the heat-resistant handles would melt. But it works great with a Pocket Rocket stove. It works so well you have to watch it carefully. That stove and this pot boil water really, really fast, even in colder weather. I think it is because the wider surface area at the bottom more effectively catches all the stove's heat than a narrower pot.

Par contre la contenance est juste juste .....un litre il ne faut pas bouger
Unfortunately the new design by which the handles attach to the body (see photo) are slightly taller than previously meaning when you try to stack it in your Trangia 25, the frying pan no longer fits flat on top. Some people might not mind this, but I didn’t like the idea of it scratching or denting the frying pan if you were to secure it tightly.
