MSR Alpine Stowaway pot set

This is the first time I believe that all four of the MSR Alpine Stowaway Pots are all together in one video for comparison. If you have ever wondered which size would work best for you then watch this video. It could save you money by getting the correct pot for you first. I got the whole set as the two bigger pots will be used in my kitchen. I really think that these pots are the ones that fit my needs the best.
All four pots, the 475 ml, the 775 ml, the 1.1 litre and the 1.6 litre make up the whole line of the Alpine Stowaway pots. Now you can see them all together for the first time. They all feature the locking handle that secures the lid.
These pots can be filled with gear without the fear of the lid coming open allowing your gear to spill all over your pack. Things inside the pot will stay inside.
I picked up these pots from the MEC store in Canada...

Thank you for the thorough video! I have been watching videos all night about MSR pots. Yours is the one that finally helped me understand each one. Thank you so much!

[@shoonsserendipity]

I have 2 of them. I love them. I got it more than 20 years ago. This pot is great for cooking rice because it works like a pressure cooker

[@meanodustino9563]

Kinda late but I just looked at these at MEC the other day and am humming and hawing about it really glad i found your video this has swayed me 😊 thx from BC!

[@dannyh9010]

Hey Wheels, I’m the guy that mailed you the stainless steel bail set for your 1.1 pot a few years back. I rewatched this video (5 years later!) and I really think you have a great speaking voice. You would be great reading kids books! Smooth and a lot of personality in the voice.

[@RESTLESSOUTDOORS]

My friend just picked up one of these last week.... he loves it!

[@trinovantian1]

Great review Sir........just got the 775 and I am very impressed !

[@NTycingProductions]

Great pot sets and review. I have the 1.1 and the 1.6, they are well made, for sure!

[@stryngh]

Thank you for your helpful review of all the offered sizes! I plan to order the 775ml and 1.1L pots from Amazon. Thanks again.

[@TimWatsonOutdoors]

MSR makes quality stuff. Glad to see these pots are no exception. Awesome comparison video my friend.

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

I love these pots. They work wonderfully for me.

[@doomsdaylonewolf2061]

Thank you so much, this helped me pick the one I needed!

[@georgeleakos954]

Very nice video! I have the 475, 775, and the 1100. The 775 is by far my favorite pot and technically has a 900ml capacity. I can easily nest my 210g canister, low profile Evernew ti mug, foil wind screen, and a Snow Peak Litemax stove in it. I find the 1100 a bit too large for my solo trips as it holds 1300ml max.....way more than I need for my meals. My wife says the 475 is cute....:lol:

[@bearygoodbeans8169]

Thank you for such a detailed video. WARM greeings from Rexdale!!

[@wanderingthewilderness]

thats a nice set. enough for solo trip our full on group outing. thanks for sharing

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

The two smaller ones, the 475 and the 775 I will use for my kit and the 1.1 and 1.6 I now use in the kitchen.

[@sparklefab890]

I have the .775 and the 1.1, these things are awesome and are built to last.

[@AdventureTimeOutdoors]

I have been useing the 775ml for about 4 years now. I love that pot. Unfortunately I lost the handle on the lid but it hasn't caused me too much trouble. I think the 775 fits into the 1.6. So you can fill the 775 and nest it in the big pot. The 475 fits for sure. I think I will get the bigger pot aswell so I can bake in it. Great gear Wheels. Take care brother Mark

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

Yes. The 775 nests inside the 1.6. They are excellent pots.

[@discountcodes]

Great video!

[@lily2916]

Thank you for sharing! Nice review.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Far and away my favourite pots. I use the 775 ml most often. I made the bail hanging system for both my stow-a-way pots but find I don't use the often as I cook over my Emberlit or my gasifier stove most of the time. You probably know this but if you get a fish mouth spreader you can use it with the lid as a handle for a fry pan

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

I use the pot lifter handle from MSR to use the lid as a frying pan and a plate. Works great. I must make the mods for the other three as I have one for the 1.6.

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

I made the mods for all four of the pots. I am going to do a video of all four pots cooking over a fire hanging with the bail mods.... should be a good one. Each pot will be cooking something different.

[@keeponsearchingearth1543]

Great review. Thank you. I have the smallest pot and keep it in a side pouch on my webbing when I'm out playing weekend soldier. It's great but I plan to pick up the rest in the line up tomorrow at MEC in Edmonton Alberta. I just subscribed to your channel. Thanks again and Cheers Bud :) Martin

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

They are great pots and thank you for subbing.

[@wonkylommiter6364]

Many thanks for this review/comparison! useful to judge which size to go for, I decided on the 775 which I really like after using it a few times.

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

I agree. It is my favourite as well.

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

Yes. I am in a wheelchair.

[@gregh3947]

Thank you, exactly the video review I was hoping to find. Looking on amazon and I'm on the fence between 775 and the 1.1. Doesn't look like whole lot of difference size wise between them. Was leaning to 775 after watching this thinking I'll go w/ the 1.1. thanks.

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

Great choice. The 1.1 has lots of room for one but can handle 2.

[@bobabooey4537]

$20 for the 775ml and its now on Amazon for 38 bucks CDN, in 2020. Bummer... Perfect review showing all the pots... helpful.

[@handicamper101]

those look like some great pots man. i love the different sizes.

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

I just love these pots man. I use them in the kitchen as well. Tough and stylin'... lol. Thanks for dropping in.

[@handicamper101]

heck yeah. my wife and i have been using stainless steel and cast iron a whole lot more now that we know about the dangers of old Teflon , and non stick pans and pots..

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

I made sure I had all 4 and did this video. I have the biggest one for about 6 months and it is well used. It was also run over by a snowmobile and the lid does not fit properly. I bought a new one for this video.

[@southpawbushcraft7522]

I have none of these, and I have wanted the whole set LOL GREAT video my friend! ~Dawn

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

I would say that not matter what size you choose you would not be making a mistake. The 475 ml or the smallest is really too small for anything. I use my GSI cup instead.

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

But stay tuned for the four pot cook off with the bail modifications on all four pots... all cooking something.... at the same time... over the same fire. (As soon as our fire ban is lifted).

[@cagedraptor]

True love, a man and his pots. You know they say that the fastest way to a mans heart....

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

Lol. So right. I plan to use these pots for daily use as well. They are the best camping pots I have seen so far.

[@BeBodacious]

They do look sturdy. Those latching lids would help reduce the amount lost if tipped over.

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

Very sturdy. I put all of the gear that I need for cooking into the pot and then latch it up.

[@Xminor79]

Great review thanks

[@BrosephRussell]

great looking pots

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

Not only are they good looking pots but very usable. As a matter of fact these pots sit in my kitchem cupboard and not my camping stuff. I use them all the time inside and out.

[@BrosephRussell]

+Wheels gone Wild That's awesome brother

[@James-ke5sx]

Thanks for the comparison. I have the 1.1L but it's too big. Going to order 775.

[@dannyh9010]

Nice presentation. You're right, this is the 1st time I've seen them all 4 together, and I researched them a bunch this spring. Thanks! These really are great pots. BTW - I use stainless steel bike spokes for the bail mod. 100% stainless kit. Makes me happy. :-D

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

Great idea using the bike spokes. I think I am going to do the same thing. Thanks. I subbed you.

[@dannyh9010]

Thanks. I forget to mention that I take one of those stainless steel key cables with the screw-barrel and put it on the end of the handle for hanging the pot off of my tripod. I then use either a toggle on a rope, or a notched stick hanging down from the tripod to cable attached to the pot. One less thing to drop/lose as it is always attached to my pot handle.

[@WS-tf4dv]

Do you have a video showing the lid as a frying pan?

[@rrcaniglia]

Just an observation about the “positive lockup on that handle”. The flat sleeve, if moved away from the pot, usually allows you to squeeze the handle and fold it easily. Do these work in a different way?

[@grizzlytaco3447]

Nice review! I could use a 1.6 ltr for my Vehicle Bug out Bin, i have stuff in there for my family of 4 in case we need to bug out. That pot would be perfect...

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

It would be a good choice for sure and it would take up very little room.

[@micktheweld]

hey buddy, what grade of stainless steel are these? thank you

[@JW-gm4hu]

How big was the fuel canister in the 1.6?

[@kpmac0]

Not get sticking food? Great video thank you

[@charlietango1635]

Hi Dave, I have the 775ml pot and I think they are good little pots, enjoyed the video, keep them coming, I have just put up 2 videos today (27/12/2016) titled Svea123 and 123R how to operate them. ATB Ray

[@michaelohara2161]

What is the diameter of the largest pot? I am building my own kit and I need something to nest with a 10” Premis frying pan and ss plates.

[@baseballhunter42]

Does the 475 fit in the 775?

[@CclassicsX]

Does the 1.1 fit into the 1.6 ?

[@OutdoorOpsWales]

Does the 775 sit inside the 1.1ltr please guys?

[@garyprice8330]

Will they stack together

[@jacquiblanchard3131]

Love my 750 mL Seagull. Sadly, my kids lost the lid, so it doesn't get used as much anymore. It's a great piece of kit!

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

My favourite is the 1.1 for sure. Either my alcohol stove or my mixed gas and burner fit inside so no mater what the cook method it is good to go. Thanks for watching. Love your channel.

[@jacquiblanchard3131]

Thanks so much, Wheels. I'm really diggin your videos too, my friend!

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

Cheers sister!!

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

I would have no problems in replacing it with a new pot and using the old one as another pot, just remove the latch. I will try to find a steel plate that is the same size. I'll get you in the loop.

[@jacquiblanchard3131]

I've been using it for an open cooking pot, Wheels. No point in ditching such a good piece of kit. I've been looking for some sort of a replacement, but no luck yet. It's a fun treasure hunt though. ;)

[@chillieice]

Does anyone know the measurements of these pots?

[@tjmorrison1909]

I have a whisperlite white gas stove. Would it fit in the 1.1 litre? Just wondering... Thanks for the video very informative.

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

What are the dimensions of the stove when collapsed and i will measure to make sure.

[@Thereal111t]

Thomas Morrison I think you would need the 1.6

[@Thereal111t]

Do any of the smaller pots fit inside the 1.6 with their lids?

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

Yes. The 775 ml fits inside of the 1.6 pot with the lid on. The 445 ml pot fits inside the 1.1 L pot with the lid on as well. See my video where I actually fit them inside each other. Thank you.

[@Thereal111t]

Wheels gone Wild Thank you! I did just watch it! I subscribed too!

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

I subbed your channel as well.

[@Jesusandbible]

475 is my fave

[@highlandtrekker]

Great review Wheels ! They have a size for any situation, I do have a question...did they come with a stuff sack ?

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

No stuff sac. Just the pots.Individually.

[@BinManSays87]

You should look up the zebra/original version of these they come with a bowl as well, there Billy cans are pretty sick too

[@marzsit9833]

zebra and seagull (seagull makes msr's stainless pots) are both thai companies but i don't think zebra was the first to come up with the concept, i'm pretty sure a chinese company came up with it first as a lunchbox for factory workers but the thai versions are much better quality.

[@davidsomerset8411]

Check out the Henry and Esee survival kits. They are really nice. BUT make your own kit use the 775 ML pot and a yellow dry bag from wallyworld to keep your items in when your using the pot for cooking.

[@krodkrod8132]

I have the 1.6 size and i filled it with survival gear and keep it in my truck just in case.

[@jeepnicc]

How do you know if you like them? They've still got the stickers on them? Try cooking with 'em for a month and then do a video... Thanks for sharing, though ..

[@bobabooey4537]

You can still like them before cooking with them lol. Heck, you can also hate them before cooking with them as well.

[@puma1304]

...and they are made by.... Zebra, Thailand!! so no wonder about the good design and high quality! they are a little heavy though, but VERY sturdy

[@marzsit9833]

nope, made by seagull, thailand.

[@jimbojet8728]

Good pots, well sized but heavy ! That’s all there is to it. If you’re carrying pots in a backpack go titanium. Where weight isn’t an issue these pots are good. I see you haven’t used these pots at all?

[@dustycover3015]

I picked up the 775 at a thrift store for $5.

[@cazsmokinnn]

Why you call it a seagull pot ?

[@practicalguy973]

Nice overview. I'm considering trying an MSR but I heard they have a thin base and don't distribute heat evenly with hot spots that can burn thicker foods. I made my own mess kit that nests pretty small and currently using a "Norpro 1-Quart Stainless Steel 3-Piece Mini Steamer Cooker Set" but just using the pot from that set as its pretty light, 18/10 stainless and has a triclad base to distribute heat. I use a mini aluminum pizza baking sheet that doubles as a dinner plate and lid for this pot, it gets hot so I use my Knipex pliers wrench to handle the lid. Still looking for a better option in stainless steel considering titanium has more studies come out about its toxicity.

[@rogerlamb536]

775 is the one I like , thank you on this review because I'm looking for a new set and thank you for visiting our channel. lets sub. and get to know each other.

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

I subbed you and would love to get together sometime. I am in Simcoe, Ontario. Right by Lake Erie.

[@Ke3per88]

They really look like the Zebra lunchboxes, minus the inner bowl

[@MrWmburr7]

Rats, you had all the MSR pots there together, but you didn't show us how they nest. I've heard that the 475 can nest inside the 1.1, and that the 775 can nest inside the 1.6. Would have loved to see that. Oh well . . . maybe next time.

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

You are correct. The 775 goes into the 1.6 and the 475 goes into the 1.1. I will show you today. Good point.

[@TheWhitetailrancher]

Dude, you are in a wheelchair! What the hell do you know about being outdoors at all? I am completely kidding! I have been in a wheelchair for 30 years now and have made a fantastic living outdoors! I was even a professional hunter for the Parker bow company, ans a professional fisherman for In Fisherman as well. I actually live MONTHS every single year outdoors completely. camping the entire time! I am very supportive of you and what it seems you are trying to do! You can do damn near anything! I wish ABs (Able Bodied people) would understand just one thing. Don't look at us as what we have lost, but rather what we have left! Good luck to you friend! Just to let you know I have done very well as a writer for many national regional and local publications as well! Outdoor Life, Field and Stream, Horizontal Bowhunter down to simply publishing in local newspapers etc. maybe you should look into that by way of writing about your adventures and giving professional "advice" to others needing teaching on what you do. it likely won't make you rich but it will put a couple bucks in your pockets!

[@anisjung3271]
