we always put everything inside the small mess tin
then lift the big one of to acces kit with small one flat underneath.

one was used for food and the other for washing and that...
we had to live of a water bottle of water a day for everything,drink,wash etc.

fully aware of all of that and thats what i do.... but be nice to carry one less mess tin and also have everything kept in something i can transfer as and when is needed!

Am I missing something

"its "messy" when everything falls out" put a rubber band around the two mess tins like many of us already do.

thats not what i was refering to. A lot of the time for work, we generally only take the one mess tin and its a bit of a faff taking everything out to cook with (rare as it is, generally just use bamboo pots) but i also want to store things in something that i can transfer to other bags from my webbing etc (as i said below)

at the end of the day, the question is, does the tin fit in the mess tin, that question has been answered. thanks.

So true but so often ignored. I store stuff in zip lock bags in my mess tins, you can transfer them easy enough.

Truth be told, Trekkingnut just wants a new tin to play with,,,come on,,,be honest, nothing wrong in that ether lol.

albeit that is a more helpful answer its still not what im after, everything sorta slots in as opposed to just lying in so if i put it in a zip lock, when i took it out, i wouldnt be able to get it back in if that makes sense.

tin will be fine! even if it is shiny....

def fits people, like a glove! well worth the investment if you use a large mess tin!

So does it fit in the smaller one then or is that too tight?

 

[Graham_S]

As I recall, the highlander tin is the same size as the small one, so no.
I use one as my "camp kitchen"
I fill it with stock cubes, spices, garlic paste, tomato puree a spatula, tongs, KFS tabasco and such
35mm film canisters are a perfect size for slotting into it.

i would say no as well mate, though i havent tried and am too lazy to get up and do so, it fits so damn snugly in the large one that you have to up end the mess tin to let it drop out....

still worth it though!
