I live and camp in the Southwest U.S. These stakes are great to penetrate our hard caliche and give good anchoring points for shelter set up. I pound then in with my mini hammer and they are solid. Another great feature is that they're crazy light. Well done, Vargo.

I got this to facilitate cold soaking my lunches while hiking, and boy did it ever deliver. This piece of gear has helped me shed weight and become much more efficient on the trail. When solo hiking the last thing you want to do is a bunch of chores and clean up, and wiping this out on the trail rather than having a bunch of dirty freezer bags to cart around has been my go-to option.

When I stop at a water source in the morning I start cold soaking and by lunch (usually bean salad of some kind, or a meal replacement smoothie) is ready to eat. It's like my food cooked itself! Same routine in the afternoon, and then I'll heat up dinner and be done eating before I arrive at camp, so no food smells near my camp to attract animals. It's easy to clean, and just truly a multi-purpose gear item that has been more than worth the investment.

I have had minor difficulties with the threads of the lid/jar getting crossed, and the lid gets stuck. It is also somewhat tricky to get water out of the inside of the lid after washing, but strongly shaking it seems to help somewhat. Overall the design is great, and I haven't had any problems with the silicone ring either. It stays on well.

Thanks to Vargo for this excellent piece of gear!

I love how lightweight and packable this spork is in my BOT700. Its design and uniqueness very much rival Snow Peak's titanium spork. The item I received though has extra 3m titanium sticking out of the joint and I had to have someone trim both sides.

I'm allergic to nickel, and I've been searching for a water bottle that doesn't have nickel (stainless steel), or annoying straws. This water bottle is great! Very lightweight!

Very impressive!
It is being used on a Trangia Mini.
Very lightweight, strong and like that it maintains the closed position

Thanks for an excellent tool (cup :-) …. and your excellent support! Go BOT-700, Go Vargo !

The Best Super light weight Stake weights only 8 grams. Thank you Vargo company for the fast shipping , you guys are awesome !!!

Perfect. So secure!

It hurt to spend 100 on this pot. Today I would do it again in a heartbeat.
I use it as you would expect, store/carry/boil water. I hadnt considered how useful the graduations are but they are critical.
Other uses ive discovered: It is perfect for dog hiking, they can get a little drink from the lid. I used it this year during dog to collect pine nuts as we walk, and since have used it as a foraging container for mint, watercress, horehound, mushrooms etc.
I love the titanium. Wish they still had stainless ones for much cheaper, because I don't care much about 2oz. But I guess the marketing goons got ahold of that one haha.

I recently purchased the titanium model of the Vargo Hexagon Wood Stove, and I'm thoroughly impressed. This ingenious piece of gear has quickly become an essential part of my outdoor cooking kit.

**Unbeatable Portability**

What I love most about this stove is how incredibly light it is. The titanium construction makes it durable without weighing down my pack. Even better, it packs flat, which is a game-changer for someone like me who values space efficiency in my gear.

**Versatile Fuel Options**

I've used this stove with various fuel sources, and it's performed excellently across the board. As a wood-burning stove, it's been impressive. Once I get a small fire with coals burning, I can easily feed longer sticks horizontally through the open door. It does require frequent attention to maintain the burn, but it's surprisingly fuss-free. I just need to bump the stick in a little further or toss in a twig every few minutes.

I've also used it with both the Trangia alcohol stove for simmering and the Snow Peak titanium alcohol stove when I want to minimize weight. Both work exceptionally well with the Vargo Hexagon.

**Effective Wind Protection**

One of the things that's really stood out to me is how well it performs in windy conditions. Even in medium wind, I didn't need an additional wind block. The hexagonal design serves as an effective wind shield on its own.

**Perfect Minimalist Solution**

For me, this stove is the perfect minimal combination of a stove, pot stand, and wind block. As someone who appreciates streamlined gear, I couldn't ask for a better all-in-one solution for my outdoor cooking needs.

In conclusion, I highly recommend the Vargo Hexagon Wood Stove, especially the titanium model. Its lightweight design, versatility, and efficient performance have made it an invaluable addition to my outdoor gear. Whether you're a backpacker, hiker, or just someone who enjoys outdoor cooking, this stove is definitely worth considering.

Just so nice to maintain a flame until it burns brightly and not have to get right into the smoke.

I will never buy another bottle. Keeps ice for over 24h. Immediately repurchased when I lost it.

I have the Bot HD with batwing handles. Recently acquired the Bot XL.
The XL is, hands down, the better of the two, IMO. Slightly larger capacity, larger diameter and shorter. The bottom corner is round instead of being an acute right angle like the HD. Easier to mix and stir foods. Retains the batwing handles for holding options. Shorter and wider stature makes it more stable when on your heat source. Retains the oring sealed lid for retention of liquids. Being shorter and wider makes it easier to eat out of and to clean.
It's the bomb!

Love this water bottle! It is highly durable and I love that it is bio-compatible pure grade titanium. For reference, that is the level of quality that is safe to put inside your body, for say a hip replacement.

I can confirm that the lid does make noise when you screw it on or off, but I mostly leave the lid off throughout the day unless I'm out doing something outdoorsy. It's a very minor complaint, in my opinion.

My backstory has been water quality for the last 2 years. I have been highly concerned with the microplastics, fluoride, and general poor quality of the water supply locally. So much so, that I invested in a reverse osmosis system for my house. However, I realized that the water bottles I drink from daily are either plastic or low quality stainless steel, and this can contaminate my water.

This led me to Vargo (local Pennsylvania company) that is strong enough for outdoor activities, but also bio-compatible to not leak nasty chemicals into my drinking water.

My only change would be that I would ideally like the water bottle to not be made in China. I would hope Vargo regularly checks on the factory making the water bottles. I was hoping for a more regulated country that would ensure high standards of production.

I had been holding off buying a Solo or similar fire pit due to the size it would take up in the RV storage bay. The Megahex was the a-ha moment to that issue. It sets up easily, lights readily, burns great, can quickly disassemble for storage. Whether for camping or for use @ home, it's a great smokeless firepit solution!
