I looked online at the Esee site and saw the waterbottles. I was going to get a smaller klean kanteen ss bottle for day walks and day hikes, but these are cooler looking and are around the same price. I don't boil water in my ss bottles at all really, it's just comforting to know that I could if I had to purify water.
 
In an emergency, yes. Of course it will burn the pimp-tight graphics off the outside. :D
 
Don't have the ESEE bottle. You can boil water even in the thinnest junk bottles, you just can't sit them directly on the hottest part of the fire.
 
I believe Les Stroud boiled water in a plastic water bottle by hanging it above the fire and letting the flames only touch the bottle where the water was. (It may have been Bear Grylls, I can't exactly remember.
 
Les did that, Bear just drinks raw sewage! :eek::rolleyes:

As mentioned just have the flames barely licking the bottom where the water is at. The bottle will likely deform but it shouldnt leak or burn if you do it right.

DISCLAIMER: I have never done this just going by what I have seen done by numerous people. Les Stroud, John McCann, Ron Hood, etc.
 
Did you know you can make a paper cup and boil water in it? Might come in handy too :D

both Les and Bear did it.. the only one i didn't saw doing this is Ray Mears.

Don't own the ESEE water bottle but I would not boil in it.. the bottle is too sexy.. I would carry a regular stainless bottle for situation I need to boil and keep the sexy looking ESEE bottle for when I only need to carry.. trail in the national park or something.. where i can't really spark a fire and boil
 
I normally just boil the water in my own mouth by holding a lighter under my chin but I'm bad A like that...
 
Most steel water bottles have a warning not to put hot liquids in them does the ESEE have a warning too?
