Thanks for taking time to share your canteen kit. I shop flea markets & thrift stores where I was fortunate enough to purchase a used military canteen & cup for $5; 3 NEW items for $15 included a canteen cup stove, Dave Canterbury canteen cup lid, & new military canteen pouch. TOTAL: $20.
Thank you very much . I couldn’t understand all of your words and phrases . But your voice and English is very easy to hear that . Gentle calm elegant . Simple and useful footage . Sep. 5th 2024 Thu. 05:30 am from Mishima City Japan
Thank you for posting this video. It’s always nice to see an example of what a specific piece of gear will hold, especially before purchasing it. I bought that same Helikon-Tex Essential Kit bag a few years ago and was surprised that it had less carrying volume than I’d expected. I still enjoy using it. But the side pouch zippers have a limited range of travel so it’s a tighter fit getting things in and out. And the interior slip pockets don’t offer a lot of “play”. I did find a compass pouch made by Condor with MOLLE /Pals webbing that attaches nicely to the front of the Kit Bag and that actually adds a good deal of room to carry additional gear. And I discovered the rear slip pocket of the Kit Bag allows for carrying a flat fold Emberlit Stove or a Firebox Nano, which is a plus. All in all I’m pleased with the investment. But an investment it was, so I thought folks might appreciate knowing it’s a tad smaller than it appears in the online retailer photos. Again, another reason your video is very helpful and relevant.
I have that very Heliikon-Tex but in a camo. I keep a GeoPress which is inside a Pathfinder stainless steel cup which is made for it. The cup has a lid which I keep in one of the inside pockets. In a side pocket, I keep a canvas prefilter for the GeoPress to keep the mainfilter cleaner and lasting longer. On the very back outside pocket there is a bit of molle strapping but underneath that is a pouch which fits my Bahco Laplander. A velcro tab at the bottom of the pouch keeps it from falling through. If I want to carry a camp axe, I simply open the velcro and insert the hatchet till the head is stopped by the top opening. It is very versatile and effective and I almost always use the neck strap hung on the side of my body. Lots of versatility with these units and I have been thinking about acquiring a Ti Canteen as well for even more versatility.
Hands down the best canteen kit I've had is the Keith Canteen Set and Helikon-Tex Essential Kitbag! I can't understand why but cold water drank out of this canteen is the best water ever! LOL! Nice gear is such a joy to own and use. 😎
I picked up a ti canteen (1100ml) that came with a cup, pot, and lid. With the carrier. The canteen , cup ,& pot nest. Leaving enough room under them for a folding stove. One front picket holds the lid, bic lighter , sak & brew kit . And a suspension wire. Behind the canteen is enough slack for 4 ti long handed sporks. Moly & adjustable shoulder strap. $110 plus stove and brew kit ect. The kit was tested to +25° f in Norway, northern Europe England Iceland. & North Carolina.
I've used a BCB crusader mk1 kit for years but just got the one corporal's corner uses and its brilliant. Need a good pouch like this as I cant fit much in the British army plce pouch I've been using the whole lot is a bit all over the place. Good video dude keep it up. 😎🤜🤛
Looks good, I would say your slim pocket behind the buckle was for your water tads similar to the gi canteen cover. But how ever you run it is up to you.
Have several bottle pouches, mostly surplus British and Dutch but mostly use a washing line peg bag as a brew kit pouch and have my canteens on the side pouches of my rucksack. It looks like a storage pouch for round Billy pots but works well. My small stuff is stored in an old larger pencil case but this will be replaced as it picks up moisture too easily. I've had one of those bigger canteen pouches and they just didn't work for me but that looks like a nice one, I hope it works for you.
I have an early Emberlit stove that fits in that interior slot pocket. The outside pockets will hold a BCB Dragon stove FWIW. Makes a nice kit for a short hike away from camp. I like the slot pocket on the back for carrying an axe if I am gathering firewood or clearing a trail.
For GI canteen I use the Molly with the side pockets. Side pockets I use for fire starters, some of the other items I use are pocket carry items, I use the plastic canteen cause it’s much lighter, I don’t have a titanium canteen. Do have a pathfinder steel canteen that I keep in the truck, I might use it if I’m not walking to far, don’t like to weigh myself down
I've recently gotten to using microcord for most lightweight tarp setups. Not as easy to use as paracord, but you can carry so much of it, and it's plenty strong.
Great video as always, sir. As for my comment, where is the canteen cup stove? Like I said, great video but I always pack a canteen cup stove in my canteen kit. Hell, I never use it but I pack it. ;-) Thanks again and please, keep up the good work. BOOMER SOONER!!!
Hi Paul, Thanks for the nice review. Do you know if the Pathfinder Military style canteen, cup, and stove will fit and still let the lid close properly?
I have a GeoPress in mine and it doesn't close nice and nifty but with the strap buckle extended, the top does stay secured. even if there is a gap in the fabrics.
Good job Paul, do you think a Pathfinder canteen set would fit in this . If not, can you recommend what would . I'm looking for a but pack style for my 10'c set up .
Hi, the Amazon Stainless Steel Canteens sets are junk. After 2 weeks of use, the rust appeared around the seam. I have the Pathfinder Canteen set Gen 2. Until today, There's no rust. I'm planning to buy the new Pathfinder Canteen Bottle set with the butterfly handles cup. I love the Titanium Canteen Bottle but I hate the cup. For my Survival Emergency Bag, I'll never leave home without my PF Canteen. It can be use as a Weapon. It can be used to dispatch a trapped animal. Thanks
The cheapskate in me can't get past the value of the " grandma's couch " camo pattern on the surplus Molle 2 canteen pouch with a surplus plastic canteen and SS cup .
How is that $ 300? Bag $45 Good canteen and cup$45 Swiss army $40 Bank line and paracord $25 Water tabs $15 Whistle $10 Headlamp $45 Kit is only expensive when going all out at once. Buy slowly over time to build capability, buy cheap once to figure out what you really need or even if you need better. Then buy the best thing that will last and meet your exact needs. Most people who buy this bag already have several items and can build over time.

The back flat pocket in the main compartment is for the lid...
Nice hyd kit. I use a ti canteen & mil surp cover. I like Helicon tex products but they are pricey af.

Great kit! I’ve been into helikon Tex lately too.
Solid little kit!
No stove?
I think I would exchange the hank of tactical cord with a light tarp or poncho. Together with the bankline that could make an emergency shelter
I like your idea of a USGI poncho ,with a couple of stakes and lines = a quick shelter. Shelter , fire, & water = 72 hr. Survival
Building off the budget canteen video I did, where I had a poncho. Didn't really feel it necessary to rehash that. But it's definitely a great add.
I've recently gotten to using microcord for most lightweight tarp setups. Not as easy to use as paracord, but you can carry so much of it, and it's plenty strong.
@perilousrange I'm with you. I've switched to survivor cord and micro cord.
@@gregsanderson2470 I'm sure you're already aware, but with the advent of ultralight tarps, going with microcord... man, you can pack so light.
I bought a Pathfinder stainless canteen cook set for$44 and a canteen bag to put the stuff in for $24.
After that upgraded canteen kit one still needs a Grayl water filter and millbank filter. Maybe after that nothing else would be needed.
Nice setup ! Thanks
You missed the pass through pocket on the back side which is great for a sheathed knife. Also, it works best with the Pathfinder canteen/cook kit.
Good video Paul , thanks for sharing, YAH bless !
I always try to put some kind of folding stove in my kits, titanium preferred and some kind of quick fire starters would be good 👍🤙🤙🤙
Nice kit! I would try to add a mylar blanket, just to have something for emergency shelter.
On a resent trip to Norway and Iceland I carried 2 mylar bivi bags in my rucksack .
Cool. Been looking for a better canteen bag
Enjoyed...!!
Great video as always, sir. As for my comment, where is the canteen cup stove? Like I said, great video but I always pack a canteen cup stove in my canteen kit. Hell, I never use it but I pack it. ;-) Thanks again and please, keep up the good work. BOOMER SOONER!!!
Hi Paul, Thanks for the nice review. Do you know if the Pathfinder Military style canteen, cup, and stove will fit and still let the lid close properly?
It can, but it's a tight fit.
I have a GeoPress in mine and it doesn't close nice and nifty but with the strap buckle extended, the top does stay secured. even if there is a gap in the fabrics.
Good job Paul, do you think a Pathfinder canteen set would fit in this . If not, can you recommend what would . I'm looking for a but pack style for my 10'c set up .
The PF Canteen Set will fit. But it's snug. I think I used to run just the canteen, but it's been awhile.
Hi, the Amazon Stainless Steel Canteens sets are junk. After 2 weeks of use, the rust appeared around the seam. I have the Pathfinder Canteen set Gen 2. Until today, There's no rust.

How is that $ 300?
Bag $45
Good canteen and cup$45
Swiss army $40
Bank line and paracord $25
Water tabs $15
Whistle $10
Headlamp $45
Kit is only expensive when going all out at once. Buy slowly over time to build capability, buy cheap once to figure out what you really need or even if you need better. Then buy the best thing that will last and meet your exact needs.
Most people who buy this bag already have several items and can build over time.
If you buy a Ti Canteen and cup, like I have in the video, then you'll be close to $300.
@@adaptablesurvival They are spendy.
💧💧💧💧
Lol 70 for the bag no thanx
You might want to put some type of fire starter in that kit for when you need to start a fire in a hurry during an emergency.
That's why I have duct tape on the ferro rod. If things are going sideways, I can use that as a fire starter.
@@adaptablesurvival Does duct tape take a spark from a ferro rod easily???
