Crusader cooking unit pouch

[mal]

Hi can anyone point me in the right direction for a pouch that will fit the bottle mug and burrner in thank you.

You probably want the PLCE Canteen or Utility pouch - easily available from all good surplus stores (and eBay). I'd recommend the proper issue ones over the Webtex knock-offs - grade 1 surplus is both cheaper and harder wearing, plus it has that pre-owned "broken in" look, as opposed to that "shiny brand new" look...

I use a plain OG Arktis bottle pouch with my set.

There was enough slack to line it with a piece of carry mat for some insulation/padding/ noise reduction and still it takes the burner, steel mug and bottle with either a 58 Pat mug on top or another steel mug (the second was a present OK ;-{D) Between the carry mat and the back of pouch gos the Ally' lid I've cobbled together and a spork.

If I leave out the second mug theres plenty of space for satchets although to tell the truth I'm not very enamoured of the burner so tend to leave it behind and use a trangia and click stand (with a bent bit of wire so the crusader balences).

The BCB mug hanger also fits in although I've not actually used it yet.

I'm toying with flattening out a issue hexy stove mug adaper thingy so it fits down the back of the pouch and seeing how easy it is to place it across say a couple of rocks out of the wind with a burner underneath...

I use a waterbottle cover that I got from Silvermans - I think it's a standard OG issue one. It takes the '58 pattern bottle, Crusader mug and 'cooker' quite easily. To stop the rattles, I fill the gap with a Millbank filter. There's even a natty little pocket for some Puritabs/Dioralyte sachets or whatever. The set-up seems to work pretty well for me.

I bought mine from e-bay, it was wasn't branded and takes the bottle nicley, but only just and there isn't room to get the cup and cooker in too, so be careful

I'll do you one better, I have one for swaps if you want it and I will through in the proper issue belt aswell, how does that sound!

Then it's not a proper PLCE canteen pouch. Beware of knock-offs!

Or it could be the old '58 pattern waterbottle pouch, which was never designed to take the crusader and was notoriously tight anyway...

Militarykit I have used for a few orders with no problem.

They supply an excellent over the head smock I wouldn't be without.
