canteen plus cup?

[Chris Pierce]

I'm looking at these two products. And I'm wondering if they will nest, and if anyone has any experience with them. Also if they do nest, will they then fit into a standard canteen cover?

If the metal canteen is like the plastic one, the cup, canteen, and canteen cover will nest together. I've used the canteen cup for many years and it works well. The problem with the canteen is that most camping geer is designed to carry a nalogene type bottle, so carrying the military type canteen can be awkward.

Yes they nest. If you can hit up a surplus store you can usually get the canteen, cup, trioxaine stove and case all together. I modified and used that aluminum canteen as my actual stove. See this post here.

The biggest problem is the "GI style" part.

IH8U, your review was actually what made me start thinking about doing my own set up kind of like that.

The problem with nalogenes is that you cant boil water in them, and the problem with SS bottles is that the don't have handles. I think the GI canteen is the cheapest most elegant solution. Good to know that these two will fit together.
