TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Question re pot sizes

Could someone please remind me how pot sizes are usually quoted? Is it when they're filled to the tippy-top, or how much you can put in them realistically? Ta.

It depends on the manufacturer.
The solo pot I use was sold as a 500,550 and 600 ml , the exact same pot.
It is about 600ml to the brim.
From memory it is now sold as 550ml by Toaks.

That's the phrase I was after. You'd never guess I'm a peak-bagger... :lol:

Evernew is usually conservative. My 900ml pot is actually 1,025ml to the brim and other Evernew pots I have measured have a bit of extra room for slop.

There was a similar thread recently at Backpackinglight (US forum) , from memory others agreed that there is no standard.
Funny how even 50ml for us can make the difference but it does.

Wouldn't be surprised if this thread title triggered an alarm with the afp or something [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]
