4.9oz, 700mL, Japanese titanium — the pot that defines minimalist camp cooking

★★★★★
9.1/10
Reviewed by William • Updated May 2026 $70

The Snow Peak Trek 700 has a long track record of holding up across years of regular use without showing signs of wear. At 4.9oz for a 700mL titanium pot and lid, it is the standard choice for solo AT hikers who want one pot and nothing else. The lid doubles as a small tray. A fuel canister fits inside for packing.

What Sets It Apart

The Trek 700 has been boiled on a MSR PocketRocket 2, a Jetboil Flash, and directly over a small campfire. The titanium has darkened slightly from campfire use but otherwise looks and performs identically to new. For solo cooking — boiling water for coffee and freeze-dried meals — it is the definitive tool.

4.9oz, six years of use, zero failures — the titanium pot that never lets you down

Who This Is For

The Snow Peak Trek 700 is right for: solo hikers cooking freeze-dried meals, ultralight hikers who want the lightest complete pot system, and anyone who values quality over finding the lowest price.

Common Questions

Is Snow Peak Trek 700 good for backpacking?
Yes — it is the standard solo backpacking pot. At 4.9oz for a complete pot-and-lid system that nests a fuel canister inside, it is the most space-efficient solo cooking setup available. The 700mL capacity is ideal for boiling water for one person's freeze-dried meal and a morning coffee.
Can you cook food (not just boil water) in the Snow Peak Trek 700?
You can cook food, but titanium's poor heat distribution means hot spots are common. Stir constantly, use the lowest flame that maintains a boil, and keep food moving. For freeze-dried meals and boiling water, it is perfect. For sautéing or anything that requires even heat, the MSR Titan Kettle (aluminum) is better.
What fits inside the Snow Peak Trek 700?
A 100-110g isobutane fuel canister fits inside the pot. A small camp stove head (MSR PocketRocket 2, for example) fits on top of the fuel canister inside the pot. This nesting system saves meaningful pack volume and is one of the Trek 700's main advantages.
How do you clean the Snow Peak Trek 700?
Rinse with clean water, scrub with a camp scrubber or paper towel, and dry before storage. Titanium does not rust. For burned food, add water and bring to a boil to loosen residue. Snow Peak recommends against metal scrubbers that could scratch the surface.
