I am in the market for a new bottle and mug that will fit in a Maxpedition Mini Rollypoly Folding Dump Pouch. Ideally a titanium mug, and a stainless steel bottle. Can anyone recommend a good combination ?
Thanks

Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
It's a stainless cup (I don't buy into Titanium personally) but I recommend the Tatonka Folding Cup (only the handles fold, don't be fooled by the name) with the 40oz Klean Kanteen and 40oz Camelbak bottles.
Also, nice choice on the Maxpedition (says the guy who runs the Maxpedition Owners Club)

I also have a Tatonka mug with a Kleen Kanteen bottle.
There's a picture of it next to the Pathfinder bottle and mug that I have in this post:

Apologies for thread stealing, but does anyone have know of a mug that will fit the H2 Onya 1L bottle (http://www.echolife.com.au/products/h2-onya-stainless-steel-water-bottle-1000ml.html )?
I have the GSI Glacier bottle cup (similar to the tatonka) and it fits a 1L Nalagene perfectly. Again, it is stainless, not Ti, but I love it.
I know this is an old thread, but Im looking for the same I have 32oz stainless tapered Nalgene bottle, the GSI Glacier mug won't fit in the mini Rollypolly its just a little bit too large in diameter……….did you ever find a solution?….
Edit, I had a brainwave, Cordura is plastic right? I pushed the GSI mug in as far as it would go into the Max mini Rollypolly, then pushed the handle of every piece of cutlery in the kitchen drawer (they have smooth rounded handles) down between the edge of the cup and the rim of the pouch, then very gently heated the whole mess with a hot air paint stripper gun………not for the faint hearted considering the price of the pouch….anyroadup the heat allowed the Cordura to stretch a little and now the cup and bottle fit! Result!!
Time for Tea and Medals!

Not what any of you are looking for but I recently bought the Pathfinder School bottle and mug set which fits perfectly on the bottle pocket of my Maxpedition Kodiak.
It's all stainless so I can use this as a water bottle or use it on or over a fire. I'm still waiting on the bottle hanger device from Heinie at the moment.
Very strong and well made.

I've got the pathfinder set up, brilliant bit of kit. I bought the most pot too, also very good. May treat myself to the nesting set they make now...
Don't bother with their flint and steel... Almost 20 quid for something you can get off eBay much cheaper. Silly me.

I bought my flint & Steel from Shark at the Wilderness Gathering. Smashing people. I was really struggling with technique but they talked me through and sold me the right kit. Couldn't recommend higher.
But buy a Turboflame lighter!

I've had a few things off Shark over the years. Had some really good flints through last week from them actually. And some amadou (spelling?) Tinder. Good stuff, but not cheap...

might be a daft question, but can a double walled steel mug be used to boil in, or will something nasty happen to it?

That pretty much tallies with my understanding. However I have not heard of anyone who's tried it. Should you feel like trying it, do video it for youtube. If it's as bad as it's rumoured to be then it's got to be worth 10000 hits

Sure it would but no thanks. It's the air that expands in the cavity quicker and more then the metal can. Pretty much a bomb. I would guess a split would occur first but not willing to take the chance when boiling water could be involved.
ooh, i might set up the video recorder. it definitely wouldn't be the daftest thing i've done, lol

You could use baked beans instead of water if you prefer
That's the way to approach it! Let us know where to send the grapes and get well soon cards

PS to the mods, this is all meant in jest and I am in no way seriously suggesting that people try this, that would be silly...
