G.I. Type Stainless Steel Canteen Cup

This Rothco G.I. Type Stainless Steel Canteen Cup mates perfectly with the (sold separately) Rothco Canteen Cup Lid. In fact, the lid snaps on for a friction fit! Paired with a Nalgene canteen bottle (which I love!), you have a very compact, durable hydration and minimalist cook set, albeit a little on the heavy side compared with some of the ultralight titanium cookset options on the market. If you're looking for the lightest possible option and money is not an issue, go titanium. If you're on a budget and don't mind the extra ounces of stainless steel, grab one of these lids and the matching canteen cup. It makes for a very durable set that won't rust. I noticed that another reviewer claimed this is not made of stainless steel and also mentioned a finish that is toxic when heated. If that person is being honest, he/she must have received a fake/substitute product. Both the Rothco canteen cup and the Rothco lid I received are definitely made from matte-finish stainless steel. There is no coating or other toxic substance, nor was there any of the whitish oxidization that can form on stainless in a high moisture, but oxygen starved environment (stainless steel needs air to maintain its oxidization/corrosion inhibiting properties). I mention the latter because if that reviewer happened to get one of these that had been stored somewhere wet while shrink-wrapped (or in some other way to suffocate the oxygen supply), it might produce a whitish, semi-chalky oxidization that could be mistaken as a toxic coating, I suppose. That seems unlikely, however, since my canteen did not come packaged in shrink-wrap. Anyway, thought I would mention that there seems to be misunderstanding/misperception--or possibly a fake knock-off--floating around. A few more thoughts on the tradeoff of weight vs. space savings. The weight of this canteen cup is 214 grams, with the lid (sold separately) adding an additional 60 grams. That's not bad for such a robust little container, especially if you're fine with minimalist cooking and planning to do most of it over a fire (where the durability will be especially appreciated), but it's certainly not "ultra light". If space is at a premium and you already carry a canteen, then this is the way to go, as it will fit right over the canteen without taking up extra space. However, to put the weight in perspective, the GSI stainless 1L kettle is actually slightly lighter at 245 grams (including its lid and integrated bail-style handle) and with its wider base is a little more convenient to cook from. So if you have space to spare and would like something a little more civilized in feel and elegant in look, then I would pass on this canteen option and consider the GSI kettle (which is even lighter in the "Haluilite" aluminum version, though I prefer the stainless steel version for fire cooking).

Love this cup. Had one when I was younger, when I spent as much time as I could in the bush, camping, hunting and what not. I needed a new coffee cup for work and the truck. I also needed a new water bottle. Since I bought the GI style canteen, I got this to go with it. If your a backpacker, hiker, hunter, camper, or just spend time in country, this cup comes in very handy. Boil water to safely consume, make tea/coffee, and cook up what ever. Stows around the canteen, and slips into the canteen pouch. Is the only cup I have been using as of late. The cup itself is well constructed, better than aluminum. It is the heaviest duty camp pot/cup I have encountered in some time. Have put into open campfire, works great. I like it better than other mess kit pots on the market.

Nostalgia - Do we really think things were better 30 years ago or we were just better off then? No aches and pains, no trick knee or shoulder, just young, dumb, unbridled enthusiasm for life and hot coffee. Which brings me to this item, a no bullshit, stainless steel cup with fold out handles. Strain the grounds, dirt, and occasional bug through your teeth, just like you did decades ago (if you served). Keep it hot by placing the cup directly on the grill. Can't do that with a plastic mug! Also, the cup is a complete cook system when paired with a metal spork of any kind. Lightweight and packs with my surplus 1 qt canteen and cover. Cheap at twice the price.

OK, for those that don't think it's stainless steel, well it is. However, it comes with a coat of something that is very pale grey from the factory. It's made in China and not the US. So, I knew it was going to be made in China before I got it, but I was still made with the coating. I took a Brillo pad, sand paper, and a metal brush to it. I got it pretty clean within about an hour. I then baked it on the grill while I was grilling a steak. I wanted to make sure I got everything off from the factory and think I was pretty successful. Be prepared for some work. We then took 2 cups my son and I on a 2 day camping trip and the cup is what we used the entire time. It's not double walled so you will burn the h$ll out of you if you are not careful. Heats up very fast, but loses the heat just as fast because it's not double walled. I think you would be better served getting a newer double walled cup. I wanted this because it's what I used in the Army. However, there are better and more modern designs out there. The good thing about this cup is you probably will keep it for 20-30 years. You'll lose it before you break it. Just throw it into your bag and you've got a cup, pot, and shave kit minus razor, and a signaling device. Not bad.

ハンドルに火が当たりづらく、素手でもハンドル握れます。 ステンレスは熱伝導が良くない素材ですが、薄いので割と早くお湯が沸きます。 アルミの方が熱伝導率は良いけど肉厚に作ってあるせいもあり、さほど早くお湯が沸くということもありませんでした。 ステンレスは薄くても強度が得られるので使いやすいと思います。

Excelente. Compre 2 para acompletar dos cantimploras US Army que compre aquí mismo en Amazon. Excelente simplemente excelente estoy muy satisfecho y recomiendo ampliamente este producto.

Great canteen. Looks like it is good quality and I like the sturdy handles. YES, the 32 oz Nalgene Canteen water bottle fits into it perfectly. Looking forward to trying it out over a campfire.

チタンなので錆びはありません。 3年目になりますが取っ手も変形無く使えております。 乾かすやめに空焚きすると薄く虹色の焼き色がつきました。

Excellente qualité , très bon prix , tout est conforme tel que décrit, vas durer très longtemps Merci
