I use this one.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SWEDISH-MESS-...amping_CookingSupplies_ET&hash=item3a55db6b72

Their great cups, havent got the wilkinson one but i have one very similar from clas ohlson

 

[Robbi]

cheers guy's looking good

 

[Totumpole]

yep, its brilliant. folds up nicely and sits in the bottom of my 10cm zebra billy with a spork and a dish sponge and drying cloth. Reasonable size and lightweight.
Not sure mine is exactly the same, think mine is "sweedish folding cup" - here it is on ebay for £2.95 all in

i used to have one,great bit of kit but i kinda love the kuksa's now!

The only really good thing about them is that they fold away and into my pocket. Otherwise....hot liquid makes the handle saggy, and then my hand touches the side which is kind of hot :yikes:
They don't hold enough for most folks, but as a cuppa from a flask they're fine since it gets drunk fast enough not to lose the heat, just refill with hot.
I used to worry about them splitting but after four years, they don't owe me anything

cheers,
Toddy

got some of these last time i was in a store.....

http://www.surplusandadventure.com/shop/survival-emergency/flexi-cup-the-new-generation-281310.html

but don't get on with then as they are just too small.....rather carry one big cup and be satisfied, than carry a discrete folder and need to brew up twice!

I have a few of the Swedish ones.They are packed inside billy cans so that i always have one with me when out.

I also have a few packed inside my camp kitchen box, for visitors and Scouts that forgot their own mug.

My oldest will be over 5 years now and still going strong...

Group buy?

 

[torc]

I have had a few of the 600ml. cups for nearly a year now and find them great.
The handles are not very useful but the heat isn't too much of a problem if you let them cool down a bit before drinking.
The cups fold up very small and when opened are large enough to be useful as a food bowl.
600ml. is a proper cup of tea.
Happy trails...torc.

 

[Toddy]

Anyone got a cheap source for the big ones ?

cheers,
Toddy

 

[torc]

There's some links on this thread Toddy,

They really are very good.
Happy trails...torc.

 

[Toddy]

Thanks Torc .....so you got three of them ?
Seriously, in use, are they stable ? and does the wee one fit inside the big one when they're folded down ? and any idea if both will fit inside a Ti mug.....I'm aiming for cooking and drinking in one neat package

cheers,
Toddy
