Pattern 58 Bottle Strap

[Harmonica]

Hi all,

I was watching Bear Grylls in Scotland the other day (hilarious as usual!!! - "watch me while I fall into a bog on purpose for fun!").

I'm a bit jealous of his shoulder strap for his pattern 58 water bottle though. Does anyone know where I could get one. I really like the tough old plastic bottle but its just too big for a pocket.

Any help is much apporeciated.

I've never seen one. Bear does seem to have his bottle taped into a crusader mug in a few episodes, perhaps he has attached a strap to the steel handles of the mug? Now, just because I've never seen one though dosen't mean that there isn't one.

Hi,
I agree with Celt_Ginger from memory i thought it looked like lots of black nasty and paracord.

Q. Bear, on your TV show Man vs. Wild, you carry a NATO water bottle and mug. My question is, how do you carry it? It looks to me that you use a paracord like sling, but how do you tie it to the water bottle without it falling out of the metal mug?

A. I tie it in a "daisy chain," a para technique of looping the rope through itself. It means you can carry a lot of paracord but in a short length. I then tie a loop around the bottle neck that links tight down to the handles of the cup and holds it all in place but is easy to release.

It seems he has someone who makes him daisy chains

Hi, I've got a 58 waterbottle pouch that could be adapted to go on a belt. If you want it PM me and I'll arrange getting it to you
