Pathfinder SS canteen

[janso]

Folks,

Has anyone got one of the above? Not the klean kanteen type but the other canteen style? If so, does it fit in a crusader or 58 pattern metal mug? This has been bugging me for awhile now and thought I'd share it here instead of emailing Hennie or the Bushcraft Store for an answer!!

Thanks all

It doesn't fit the crusader mug, the base is too large.

Thanks mate; shame! The eternal search for a steel canteen continues!
I wonder why they haven't been mass produced by a supplier or such, it seems there is a huge market in the bushcraft world. Even China hasn't bought into it yet? I wonder if a shop like the bushcraft store would look into having a few hundred units made up?

There is the DHK canteen, but impossible to find on sale.

Its own mug fits very well, and it's about the same capacity. The handle arrangement is c**p tho'.

Used mine in earnest first time this weekend although I'm still waiting for Heinnie to supply my flask suspender thingy after weeks.

The mug and flask wouldn't fit a crusader pouch but does fit my Maxpedition side pouch on my Kodiak brilliantly.

Quality of the stainless is good but I'm not sure that the lid is the best design. My Sig bottle will store water ages with no issue but the lid made the mouth of the flask taste and smell mouldy after a couple of weeks.

I like the other version of the Pathfinder bottle - Nalgene type - that has a cup that fits it beautifully and works really well. I'd recommend it to anyone. I have managed to buy the dangler thingy from Hennies, though it did take a while to arrive. The whole set up works very effectively in the field in different configurations. I've also got a Pathfinder Mors pot that is an excellent addition to a cooking system. Used together, I've managed to keep 4 people fed on a trip.

All the best.

I was in tkmaxx yesterday, & they had a crusader look a like, bottle & cup complete with pouch.

Good find mate, thanks for the link - looks like a wholesaler but still, that looks like a fit if one could be sourced...

Fully aware of the alternative Pathfinder kit but that would mean a complete change in setup (and price!) which would go against my existing kit and casual supplier of mil kit 😜

I second the other Pathfinder Bottle (Nalgene Type) I have it and the hanger, got it from Self reliance outfitters a fair while ago.
Its one of the best bits of bushcraft kit I have bought.
