Where practical I have linked to the manufacturers website for stability. I encourage bargain hunting. Even distributors like Amazon and AliExpress often have multiple prices for the same product
Similarly prices are full retail price, and for items that are part of a set, I list the price of the whole set. Bulk discounts don't reflect the out of pocket costs. Please, shop around.
I haven't included shipping costs. Try to lump purchases from resellers like Amazon, Walmart, and AliExpress. This may get you free shipping.
In some cases I have listed the manufacturers claimed weight after verifying that my example is "close enough"
This list is intended to be a stoveless system, but the parts of a fairly innovative 5 oz cook system are included with their amounts set to 0

Key

Red Star - Cheap, perhaps too cheap
Green Star - Value, compares well against more expensive options
Yellow Star - Upgrade, still not "expensive" in UL backpacking context, but you may want to buy once, cry once, from the outset.
