I'm limiting the canteen sets to 6 and the ponchos to 9, as otherwise I'm gonna have trouble getting them back!

 

[Claudiasboris]

I'll go for one of each please (poncho and canteen).

My IPhone's not playing at copying lists so I can't add myself, sorry!

Andy are the ponchos the rubberised alpenflage ones.

 

[Wild Thing]

Andy you are a gent, and if there is any excess baggage charge, I am happy to throw some extra money into the pot to cover you.

Drop me a message after you come back and I will get the money sent to you straight away.

Regards

I have no idea! THey are the Swiss Army ones in new condition - that's all I know about them. For the price they looked a good bet. However, if you get one and don't like it, I'll refund the cash - can't say fairer than that!

No worries Phil - price is the same regardless. Last time someone tried to charge me excess bagage, from Bishkek to London, they wanted £750!

Didn't get it though..............

I think I read somewhere that canteens designed for sub-zero use are commonly made small enough or flattish in shape so as to fit inside the clothing and hence avoid freezing ?

A note of warning , cold fluid in one of these will freeze eventually in minus temperatures i think the idea was to put in a warm/hot drink at the start of the day and this would cool during day but not freeze immediately.
also these are old kit now and the stoppers can be a bit brittle they can fracture/shatter if knocked.the stopper is push fit to avoid freezing up of thread.(like cork in swiss volcano flask bottle) other than this refinement im not really sure if they have any great advantage over steel thermos type flasks from elsewhereespecially one with a cork stopper if you can get one. correct me if im wrong -anyone who has used these in arctic conditions? ive only used mine in the uk at relatively mild sub zero conditions (degrees celsius)

Thanks Andy!

Seconded.

Cheers Andy.

Dave Canterbury's somewhat excitable video on the arctic canteen. One thing he doesn't mention is that there are two parts to the top - the bung and the rubber bit it fits into and that provides protection for the lips from the metal. THe rubber bit apparently also comes out to aid cleaning etc.

[Andy BB]

I intend to order tomorrow, and won't get more than necessary to meet orders. So last chance to get your name down!

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

best order one for jacko still, mine seems to have vanished into the kit store and will likely be found in 2026

 

[Andy BB]

ok. Canteen orders closed,, still prepared to get a couple more ponchos.
