As a addendum this my 1 quart canteen system. The items on the right, on the white paper above and below fit in the four pocket canteen pouch. The items to the left are “useful extras”.
1) Canteen Pouch, 4 pocket. The normal one is 3 so one of the portions below would be carried elsewhere. I think the Helikon essentials pouch would make a good alternative or upgrade.
2) USGI style cup - Lixada copy.
3) Lid, foil also works.
4) Stove stand.
5) Bail/handle.
6) Heavy foil wind shield, cut down Optimus in this case.
7) Nalgene Oasis.
8) Folding metal spork, instant coffee, screech powder or soup.
9) Ziplock bag with filter paper, water bag, puri-tabs and firecard tinder. Tape, bic lighter, book of matches & mini ferro (striker is crap pending replacement).
10) Ziplock bag, 2x fuel tabs, heavy foil as base to burn on, kitchen foil as prep surface.
Extra stuff:
Gloves for hot items, these will be in a pocket bag anyway.
An extra canteen that fits in the carrier so I can just swap them on the go. The Oasis will take very hot water so it can be a heater at bed time.
Long spoon if I am using packet meals. Lives with the grub.
Large fold-a-cup when not carrying two canteen cups. That way I can boil water make a drink and cook a meal in the remaining water.
Bottle brush (at home) it’s almost impossible to really clean a canteen properly with out this. Only using the canteen for water and pour into a cup to drink helps stop build up.
Denture cleaning tablets, I missed these out. To help clean the canteen.
Brew, always welcome.
Baby sitting so steak and dumplings for tea. The wind shield was something of an afterthought on set up!
