Does anyone know where you can still purchase a 10Cm billy? I've found a couple of retailers that advertise them but no one seems to currently have any stock?

Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
They are only a pot and over priced for what they are so don't worry about finding one, there are lots of alternatives; the 10cm one is only really good enough for making a brew.

Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
Ditto what Rik said, the 10cm is no bigger than a big mug. If you like eating, get something bigger would be my advice!

I treated myself(well my kids did) to a couple zebra billies last year, a 12cm i use a lot, & a 14cm i've never used, but before that always made my own from tea/sugarcoffee caddys i got from charity shops.

Hi there
I've a 12cm Zebra, but even that I find a bit small and tall for cooking with. I got a Tatonka 1.6L pan with a lid that has lower sides, bigger capacity and still fits in the PLCE pocket of my pack. I can also fit my gas stove and cutlery in it.
For brew ups and say a one person boil in the bag type meal, I can't see how a 10cm billy would be better than a Crusader cup and lid, which is what I use in conjunction with the above pot. My Zebra still comes out if I do trips with my son.
cheers

Perhaps the guy just wanted a 10cm zebra billy can
What ! youre not allowed to make up your own mind up, we have to do it for you & get you to spend twice as much as you originaly budgeted for !. And after you have 15 different sizes of billy cans you need to get a custom made backpack to carry them, then you need to buy....

just too clear up the confusion, I already have 2 metal crusader cook pots, in order to be able to cook for a small group I recently bought a 12cm and 16cm Zebra pot which regardless of price was very impressed with so just wanted to add the smaller 10cm to my collection. As always just one set of kit doesn't always seem to be a perfect match for every activity so I think I've ended up with a sensible selection able to accommodate most circumstances

Perhaps the member is unaware that there are other options available that are as good if not better as the de rigueur Zebra pot.
