Bushcraft BCB Crusader Cup Canteen

Product Information

I also have a stainless “heavy” lid that is a bit too heavy imho – I’ve not carried it regularly if I’m backpacking any distance but have then suffered the disadvantages of smoky water. I have a ‘heavy cover’ stainless lid which I bought for my Mk1 mug, and it fits the crusader Mk 2 well. The Crusader Mug is a great piece of field kit, it allows you to cook in your mug negating the need for separate mess tins and means you can make and drink your brew from start to finish without any other pots and pans. It will still fit an issue 58 pattern water bottle and can be packed comfortably into a PLCE, Osprey water bottle or utility webbing pouch.

Details: High-grade stainless steel Also available with a Black PTFE toughened coating finish Volume: 750 ml Internal measuring scales Dimensions: 13.This high temperature plastic lid fits snuggly on the Crusader Cup, aiding quicker cooking and therefore saving fuel. This high quality cooking utensil is made from aluminium with a hard anodised finish which is non-reflective, non-stick and easy to clean.

No refunds or exchanges will be made for incomplete, damaged or unsealed goods, including damage to original packaging. At Howl we specialise in journeying skills, the Bushcraft we practice and teach is that of the traveler. Packages to Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and BFPO addresses are sent by First Class Royal Mail or International Parcel Force unless otherwise specified. Supplied with cooker and cooking cup manufactured in a hard anodised aluminium (which is non-stick and easy to clean) and the NATO Osprey canteen and mug.On a related note, the new aluminium version also has rivets on its inside (for the butterfly handles’ attachment), which are another ‘debris magnet’ and difficult to clean. The BCB NATO Crusader Cup is one of the fundamental pieces of kit to have with you when out camping and is great to use in combination with the Osprey NATO Water Bottle. There is a wonderful simplicity that comes from taking a trip in the outdoors, a pragmatism gleaned from necessity. I would recommend getting one of the aluminium lids that are available separately rather than the plastic BCB lid.

Have to say I still like the stainless steel version, tried both for at least 6 months and like the mark 1 for having a lip to drink safely not to hot and the stainless steel to me at least is easy to clean with any material and therefore a little more hygienic.I’ve yet to try a hard anodized pot, i remember getting the stainless mug when it had a black treatment painted on it which burned off the first I sterilized the mug in a fire. The Settler Chair from Robens is designed to compliment the Outback range of tents and takes its inspiration from the same nostalgic influences with its attractive design and subtle colours. For drinks, it’ll be fine but quite often I make porridge in my cup and trying to get the remnants of the gummy, oaty residue out is going to be a bit of a trial; the stainless Mark I version has a flat bottom to it, making it that bit easier to use. The canteen is designed to fit beneath the NATO Water Bottle as part of the BCB Complete Cooking System. Big enough for large boil-in-the-bag pouches or for a brew up, the new larger Crusader Cup will still fit an issue 58 pattern waterbottle and can be packed comfortably into a PLCE or Osprey waterbottle or utility webbing pouch.
