Is the canteen cup a dying breed ?

Not a Starbucks fan also… but their Italian Instant is a favorite.

Dying breed?

Mine seem to breed just fine:



I'm ashamed to say that there's a lot more where those came from. They just seem to multiply and breed on their own. If anything, I need to start culling 'em.

Sure. Here I'm cooking salt water and turning it into NOT salty water.

A bit late.
But didn't you drill the hole exactly where you set your lips if you drink?

I think it would be intelligent to cut a thread into the pot and close the hole with a shortened screw, head outside.

These corks exist readily available in silicone. Should a metal tube work better, what I expect too, you surely can put it better in a silicone plug than a cork and it should be more durable too in the rucksack.

Do you prefer the old L-shaped canteen cup handle of the butterfly handles?

I am late to the party, but I do love using canteen kits. In my experience, I find the L handle difficult to lock in place properly, especially in winter. I want to love it, especially when I want to wear mittens, but it fails a lot due to human error and dexterity when it's cold. Butterfly handles are less finicky with cold fingers .

I love the L handle but I agree with the wing handles are more convenient, I just use a multitool to pull out the L handle catch but one of these days I will damage it if I’m not careful.

How do you like the mini?
