More Thoughts On The Nalgene SS Guyot

Actually, that particular bottle has been used directly on the campfire coals to boil in. The bottle has been painted with Specialty High Heat from Rust-Oleum to prevent the surface of the bottle from becoming sticky when using certain types of wood fuel (pine, for example). The High Heat paint does a good job and will resist temperatures up to 1200-degrees. I haven't seen the neoprene sleeves for these yet. Best of luck! :)

Nice photos, Mistwalker!

Thanks! That paint sounds like a good idea as well!:cool:
 
well i will fall on the sword and admit to my stupidity so others won't make the same mistake.:rolleyes:

i have used a plastic nalgene for years as my go to water bottle. i would fill it not even a quarter of the way with water and freeze it over night to make a big ice cube to keep my water colder. Needless to say the first time i did that with the steel bottle the ice bent the bottom out making it so it wouldn't stand up anymore. I figured it being steel albeit light weight that it would be stronger than that but i was wrong.

So don't let your liquids freeze in the guyot bottles, they are not stronger than the plastic bottles in all aspects.
 
I did the same thing to a sigg bottle, only it was from camping in sub-freezing temperatures, not putting it in the freezer.

We have been using the Guyot stainless bottles for some time now. Our favorites of the stainless bottle variety. The other day we were in Dick's Sporting Goods and found a pile of the Guyot bottles for $12.00 a piece on Red Tag Sale. We purchased several more (both styles) for the older kids.

The Guyot bottles are a bit heavy for the type of backpacking we do, however, for a day hike, camping, woodsbumming, in a survival kit, etc., they are a durable and handy piece of equipment to have.

Hell, I wouldn't mind finding a bin of them for 12 bucks a piece!

Yep that's VA Creeper. You can always tell it because the leaves are saw toothed and grown in the same pattern as Hickory leaves.

Poison Ivy and all its nasty little cousins are one of very few things I dislike about spring and summer months.

I was pretty sure it was but you know how a lot of things have look-a-likes...

Yeah, the toxicondrun family has some pretty nasty members lol, and rubbing on it isn't the worse thing you can do with them.

As far as I can tell, the wine carafe is just a normal 27 oz KK, but with a stainless cap so it doesn't make your wine taste plasticky? Am I missing something?

Nah, that's about it so not really...I just want the Karafe because it's marked as such and so will be easier to keep separate from other bottles I have now and ones I plan to get. I don't put anything but water in them.
 
Well if you do not have a Dicks in your area you can often get the Nalgene SS bottles for 50% off with online coupon codes.

Hey that's interesting.
I used my steel bottle for boiling for the first time recently
I didn't mind the soot, but the pine residue was really yucky.
How does a paint keep it from getting sticky?
 
Just got back from Dicks sporting goods. I bought one of the wide mouth backpacker bottles for $12.97. they didnt' have the cup. I wish I had known about the sale, before I ordered the other one. They only had the 32oz. backpacker & the 38oz. widemouths.
