Heavy duty lid for Crusader mug

[He' s left the building]

I've heard a rumour that a similar item to the US one below may soon be available for the Crusader mug?

Anyone seen anything yet? Long overdue, I've been thinking about making my own after threads on bushcraftuk and I've recently ordered a titanium mug just for the close-fitting lid.

I'm at risk of turning into a gear-freak I think, I've vowed to spend more time out there doing stuff from now?!

It's a well made looking lid only down side I can see is it looks to be made from plastic.

If they do think of making one I don't think they could improve much on a metal warthog type design, plain and simple but effective.
A lid doesn't need to be too tight fitting nor does it require a drinking spout IMHO.

when i first saw this thread i started drooling at the thought of a commercially available cooking lid for my crusader mug. I use two sets of equipment when camping out overnight, a lightweight summer set with a dutch canteen and a heavier set for winter with a crusader mug. For the dutch canteen i got a great metal cover from Maddog (cheers!) and it makes a big difference to cooking times and fuel usage and I would love to get the same for the crusader instead of the flimsy BCB plastic ones so I allowed myself to get carried away until I saw the pictures. Surely some outdoors company can see the potential market for a decent metal crusader lid that will stand up to cooking and open fires?

Ah well, I can dream i suppose.......

It's plastic which means not something to use anywhere near an open fire.

for me it's rubbish. you can make a metal one very easily from aluminium! which won't melt!

I made my own for both my Web-tex and Crusader sets, from the bottoms of old mess tins that I got from a charity shop for pennies....but my first attempts were rubbish!
Practice made perfect(ish) and I now have two very functional mug lids for next to nowt....

I made my own as well John and it came out a bit like your original effort. The best I could say about it was that it was functional. I was happy with it though, "good enough for John Fenna good enough for me" but now it looks like I will have to make a new one because I cant say that now
