Help me buy equipment

It just so happens that mountains and equipment for mountains are widely separated in space. I spend most of the year in places where it is quite difficult (impossible) to find some specific types of equipment. Therefore, I appeal to site visitors and participants of our hikes with a request for help in purchasing the following items...

Tourist boiler "Wind Rose"

The Russian company "Rose of the Winds" produces a fairly large assortment of tourist cookware (stainless steel and titanium, boilers and teapots, welding and stamping). We are interested in one and only one type of their product. You need oval tourist boilers (kahns) with a lid, made of stainless steel by welding. The lid can be with or without a handle, it doesn't matter. But the handle of the boiler must be rigid (there are models with a handle made of a flexible cable).

For reasons unknown to me, recently it has been quite difficult to find such boilers in the retail chain. I called several Russian stores and found that “Wind Rose” is more common in St. Petersburg than in Moscow. But even there the range is very limited. Therefore, I indicate the requirements for the volume of boilers more vaguely than the requirements for execution - I need boilers with a volume of 8 to 12 liters. It would be great to find 4 of these cauldrons at once, but if this is not possible, then one cauldron will do the trick.

Backpack Golite Pinnacle Pack

Pinnacle backpack - belongs to the category of ultra-light equipment. With a volume of 70 liters, it weighs only 900 grams (for comparison, the popular 70-liter Deuter Aircontact weighs 2650 grams). In addition to this, the manufacturer (Golite) claims that the low weight does not compromise the strength of the product.

When purchasing, pay attention to the size and gender of the backpack. Pinnacle comes in two versions (men's and women's), each in two sizes (M and L).
