Which is more versatile? If ur just rehydrating food and making coffee the kettle seems a better choice but I'm just guessing..... If I'm gonna start trying some outta state hunting in coming years I'm gonna try to slim down the camp stuff to a minimum. I got a cook pot already but I really only use it to boil water....I think a kettle boils quicker than a pot?... Not interested in jetboil or anything fancy...regular old kettle or regular old pot
