When I got this in the mail I thought it was just too cute, a great toy for a kid but not for me. But on the road, biking and camping, it worked great. Just enough space for a can of soup, not much room for stirring though. I would prefer a different cup, otherwise it's a great set. The plate would be nice if it were flat and a little bigger, not the best cutting board even when flipped over, but it gets the job done.

I purchased this mess kit for my son who is in boy scouts. I wanted a mess kit that would last a while. I was impressed with the quality and construction of this product and believe it will stand up to the rigors of a young man in the woods. The only thing my son was disappointed with was the plastic handle on the lid of the pot. He would have liked it to have one that was metal or ceramic.

WE had been looking for mess kits for a while and I happened to see these on the web, we truly love them, with three Scouts in our family and a Mom and Dad that love camping this is a great addition to our camping outfit.
