As for size, I usually figure about 1/2 quart or 500ml per person. We usually do soups for meals and lightweight but durable for most everything. I generally avoid aluminum because I don't like the fact that I can usually scrape of aluminum with my fingernail, that can't be good to ingest aluminum... The same goes for non-stick anything... So, I stick with stainless steel or titanium, cast iron if car camping. I just found a 3-liter titanium pot on craigslist for really cheap, going to go pick it up today.

I use a 4 quart dutch oven and an 8 inch "Cowboy" tin skillet. When I cook bacon, I cut it into one inch squares so that I can stir it instead of having to turn. It works great in a 4qt. dutch oven this way.

There is a Intro section to say Hello to all at:

What pots and pans you carry are really a personnel and situation choice.

I like your idea of cutting the bacon in small pieces.

I'm a dutch oven guy and use them a lot....but pack them in a vehicle.
