This one is made from recycled material.
Here's how it comes out of my pack.
The main parts. On the left is an old stainless steel cutlery drainer with a wee hole cut in the side so I can feed it with fuel. On the right is a stainless steel tea caddy. I removed the metal knob and replaced it with a wooden one.
Here's what lives inside the tea caddy. A handle made from a coat hanger, a folding plastic cup, a KFS set and two old steel tent pegs.
The tent pegs slip through the holes. They can be adjusted to any height.
Then the pot just sits on top and it's just a matter of waiting for it to boil for a nice brew up.
Here's me setting it away. I'm using a ferrocerum rod and the back of an Opinel No8 to get a spark onto some birchbark. The birchbark is set on a leaf so I can feed it straight into the stove.
Once it's going, you can feed it small twigs, bits of stick, dry grass, pine cones and if all else fails and you can't find dry fuel, a bag of corn chips burns very well.
This size caddy will hold a British army MRE main meal, and have enough hot water left over once it's heated through to make a large cup of earl grey.
