A possible solution might be to buy another Dutch mug, cut the bottom off, drill some holes and cut a slot and you will have a similar set up as the us army, but a perfect fit for half the price.

What a great thread, I used a rabbit stick when I was a boy, rabbits, birds and mates were fair game. I'm now going to check out what and how to play Aunt Sally. Thanks British Red. Cheers JFW

I usually take a couple of litres of water with me and once that has run out, depending on location, I use a milbank bag filter, a sawyer mini and then boil. Never had an issue so far, but where I live we have good fresh spring water from the hills. They even sell it
