Hello cousins! Helixpteron asked me to post some images and information I put together a whaile ago on a stateside wilderness survival forum. I understand that some of you are considering a group buy of this bottle and are curious about it.
The appeal of the bottle is first that it is stainless steel, so it can be used to boil water in a pinch. It also is sized to fit most bottle holsters made for "Nalgene" type bottles and the mouth of the bottle is also sized/threaded to fit any accessories designed for a Nalgene botle, such as filters or aftermarket lids.
With that in mind, I put together the following setup:
Here is a group shot, showing the bottle and accessories. GSI and Olicamp both make stainless cups that are designed to nest with Nalgene bottles. They work with the Guyot as well.
First, I decided I wanted a bail so that I could hang the bottle over a fire if the need ever arose. I drilled a couple of holes in the wide flange below the threads. I attached some small split rings, and then used a braided stainless steel fishing leader with snap clips on each end. I left the swivel on one end to release any binding that might occur.
The bail stows out of the way wrapped around the flange.
I also used another stainless leader to replace the lid lanyard. This comes off easily by unclipping the snap clip.
Next, I wanted some kind of metal lid to aid in boiling water. I found the lids to a couple of small round tins that I have work just fine. One is small enough to sit inside the bottle's neck while the other is just big enough to sit outside the threads. Ultimately, I'll probably just use the lid off a can with slits cut in it to fit over the bail wire.
Finally, I couldn't resist buying a coffee filter that threads onto the neck of the bottle. I guess I could use it to prefilter water as well.
Here is a shot of everything nested.
Enjoy! Please excuse the "HuntFlix" copyright watermark. That is a now dead web business I used to run. The original thread is at Bladeforums.com.
