This mess kit just arrived today, so when I finally get to use it, this review will be updated.The construction appears to be solid and of decent quality. For some reason I overlooked "copper bottom" on the stainless steel fry pan, even though it is plainly listed in the description. The entire kit bundles nicely into a 7.5x3 inch package (see customer provided pictures at top of page to see unit packed up) to take up minimal space in your backpack.
