If you’re a frequent road tripper or weekend warrior, throw this in your back seat or gearbox. Crafted with an adventurous spirit, the GeoPress Ti is made of premium CP4 Grade 1 titanium construction for durability while maintaining a lightweight design, perfect for hunters, anglers, overlanders, international travelers, and survivalists. With oversized handles for easy handling, a broad cooking surface for culinary adventures, and OnePress global purification capabilities, this all-in-one solution transforms into a water collector, filter, purifier, drinking vessel, and cook pot, compactly nestled within a single bottle.

This one won’t fit in your back seat but shouldn’t have a problem in your truck’s bed.
