Pathfinder do a hanger for their nalgene shape bottle. Heinnie sell them. Would that solve the problem?

Perhaps you could make something similar or even simpler from a coat hanger?

Someone on here posted about using the old net curtain wire with hook and eyelets to form the pot wire and the hanger, looked good, nice and simple.

I think Colin, (Crosslandkelly) from this parish, made a pot hanger from a metal coat hanger.

I'm sure he made a short youtube video of the process.

There's also a third way that requires no modification to the bottle.



I've done it here with a plastic bottle for clarity and the technique works well with necked containers such as Nalgene bottles, hip canteen's and some food tins with a lip such as Nido or Nescafe. Bonus feature is that this method does not require the use of wire, ordinary string will suffice as the container shields the cordage from direct flames. Sort of like the heatshield of a space-capsule on re-entry.

I've done it with mine and it works rather well.
