Would you rather have a hydration pack or canteens on a load carrier? Hydration pack can carry 2 - 3 liters. Center of gravity does not change. Can add extra webbing / MOLLE attachment locations, weight goes to shoulders. One quart canteens are standard, lots of military surplus, cheap...

So lets see em. Lets see your complete cook kit. Not linked pictures but actual pictures of your complete cook kit. That includes, stove (whether it be wood, gas or alcohol), pot set, bowls/canteens and mugs, and utensils that you use. And lets not judge one another's kits because we all have...

With your experiences in hiking and wilderness survival, do you recommend a water bladder that's stored in your Molle/Backback or would you prefer to carry a water bottle or canteen? What are the pros and cons? Do the water bladder rubber hoses add a plastic taste to the water? Im thinking of...

Putting together an H2O kit and want to use a 32oz canteen. From what I see, the two prevalent styles I see are the Nalgene plastic canteens and the stainless steel types with the most popular brands being Kleen, Nalgene & Guyot. I'd assume the stainless steel would be better in that it could...

I put this as an answer to another thread but, I thought it was such a good deal I would put it here too. Here are some good links to the Swiss canteen, cup and stove kits. 3 pack for $9:https://www.mainemilitary.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&idproduct=2651 5 pack for...

I'm looking for a canteen I can use to carry water hiking and also boil water in it. Any suggestions? What do you guys use?

Can anyone recommend a good quality stainless steel canteen? Preferably one with a small cup as well, although not a necessity. I have one, but i'm looking to upgrade while I have the money.

I know this thread is pointless:upsidedown:, but I had to let everyone know what a great deal I got on this canteen. I have GI canteen and cups <$10, stainless steel water bottles <$5 and have been looking at these Guyot bottles but I couldn't make myself spend $25 on one. I was in ****'s...

Since water is so important I have been upgrading my canteens for my family for camping. These arctic canteens are way cool. Can also be used for hot liquids. All three items made in USA. $6.75 (Arctic) Canteen, Water, Insulated Cress W/O Cup and Cover, (Arctic), 1 Quart/900 ml, (-60F)...

I want a army/GI issued 2 quart canteen. it seems as most are collapsible and look flimsy.. I want a hard rigid version if they have one, anyone know where online?

Academy sports and outdoors has their 32 ounce (1 quart) water bottles and canteens on sale for $2.88. Regular price is $2.99, so its only 10 cents off. In comparison, the nalgene 32 ounce water bottles are $8.99. The Academy water bottles and canteens are marked as BPA free and come in a...

Summer time is almost here, and so is the summer heat. It wont be long and the 90s and 100 degrees will be the norm, so lets take some time to review. Pace yourself - You should know your own physical conditioning, your not superman, so dont act like it. If you rush up a hill, get overheated...

I'am thinking about getting a few more 32 ounce nalgene water bottles, or a couple of those 32 ounce nalgene canteens. Last year while my son, nephew and I were on a hot weather hiking trip, we did not have enough water with us. So I'am going to fix that problem this year. Besides hiking...

does anyone know if a regular army canteen cap will fit on these bottles. i'm thinking about ordering one and a TABS canteen straw.

Hello, someone on here a few weeks ago started a thread about building a bug out bag week by week. It kind of got off subject. I wanted to start a new thread and get a group together working on the same style of bag. First item is the bag. I have a lot of stuff for my bag already. I will just...

Hi, I'm looking at getting a new canteen with a cup, and wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions. I'm looking at a 1 Quart canteen, but can't decide what brand, or model to get. Any suggestions????

Quick question again, are military canteens suppose to be watertight? all the ones ive seem to have leak around the cap.

I was wondering if any of you knew how many fluid oz. the canteen cup holds. Do you think it would be enough if I had utensils, a plate, and the canteen cup for my cook set?

My preferred style of canteen is the US Army style, though I really don't like that it's plastic. It makes the water taste terrible. I've been looking for a stainless steel canteen that's kidney shaped and finally found one. It's perfect except for one thing-it's only 3/4 the size. The...
