Titanium Camping and Hiking Gear

Recently I've been surveying the field for titanium gear for use in camping or multi-day hikes to reduce over-all weight of my pack. In this case titanium is being chosen specifically for its extremely high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance and ability to self-sterilize using ultra-violet light (when using high-grade titanium). The weight savings are immense, with full-sized spoon and fork sets weighing less than half and ounce, or a Titanium Jet-ti Stove weighing in at only 2.7 oz. Many large 1 liter plus pots, pans and other cook ware weigh in at less than 3-4 ounces. Replacing existing gear with their titanium counterparts can quickly free up several pounds off your load with-out sacrificing gear.

Titanium products have expanded in recent times to include more than just cookware and stoves. Lighters, tent stakes, knives, multi-tools, carabineers, binoculars and walking poles are just a few of the items to get the titanium treatment. Do yourself a favor, cruise through your local REI, Vargo Outdoors or Amazon.com Titanium Outdoors site for a list of essential gear that Treknologies has deemed needs your immediate replacement.
