Where practical I have linked to the manufacturers website for stability. You'll have to do your own bargain hunting.
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.
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
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 weight after verifying that my example is "close enough"

Key Red Star - Cheap, perhaps too cheap Green Star - Value, compares well against more expensive options Yellow Star - Upgrade, But you may want to buy once, cry once, from the outset
