I have a stainless steel water bottle and cup. Both have lips around the top. I took steel wire and wrapped 4 or 5 loops around them below the lips. I then took nails and placed them inside the loops and twisted the nails in opposite directions bring the loops tight. When the nails are removed, you are left with a small loop on each side where the nails were. I use more wire in the smaller loops to hang over a fire. No drilling and your cup lids should not have to be modified to use. Instead of a fish spreader I always carry a small roll of steel wire to make a bail. Thanks for the video and best of luck to you.
nicely done. I put the holes for the spreader at 90 degrees to where you did so when i pour out of the cup using the handle liquid does not dribble out the hole. other than that i cloned your setup and a big thank you!
+Stanley Brand Thank you for the comments. You guys make some excellent budget friendly items. Contact me if you would like for me to look at any other product offerings you may have. Thanks again!!
Stanley Brand . . . jmtnvalley6 months ago I am reviewing your vid. Thumbs up last time. My only comment to Stanley is to square off the bottom of their Adventure Cook Pot. It's currently difficult to find a stable stove for it. Squaring it off like one of the metal cups (keep all other dimensions the same) would make putting on a stove a lot easier. Thanks again. i agree completely with the above statement .
Nice review. I have a great tip for you. If you put your Stanley pot in a nylon stuff sack it will slide in and out with ease. I also have a condor pouch and this trick makes it very easy to get your cook kit in and out. Plus you'll have a stuff sack for use around camp. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy & BE SAFE!
Nice setup... mine is very similar, except I have everything in the bag as follows: First in is a dish scrubber pad for cleanup, next is the Stanley lid. Next is the SS water bottle (got it at a garage sale for $0.50, love deals like that!) that I have nested into an empty steel soup can that's a perfect fit (never had to use it yet but it weighs almost nothing and takes up no extra space, so doesn't hurt to have an extra container if needed). On top of the bottle (upside down) I nest my Stanley pot followed by my GSI cup. I do it this way so it's WAY easier to remove everything from the bag without having the pot and cup edges catch on the lip of the bag.
I have a similar bottle. You can take the top off and use the fish spreaders inside to suspend it over the fire to boil water for coffee while cooking on the stove with the Stanley kit.
Water bottle pack are a pain to get things out of. I put the outter thing (glacier cup here) into a long plastic bag, like a bread bag. Then you pull the bag out and the cup slides right out with it.
Put the Stanley, GSI cup and Water bottle into a tall, slim bag or bandana. Push all that down into the bottle bag. Pull the whole thing back out by pulling on the bag or bandana. You can also replace the fish mouth spreader with a stainless steel fishing leader
I've not seen Condor pouches and predominantly use Maxpedition and Helikon-Tex pouches which are of excellent quality and well designed, though the Maxpeditions are quite expensive in the UK. I have both sizes of the Maxpedition Water Bottle Pouches and couldn't be happier with them. They fit the Jetboil Sol Ti stove or my Back Country Boiler really well. Photography lens cases are also great for carrying water bottles and are well padded. I use the Lowepro Lens Case 1 to house my Snow Peak 450 twin wall mug and brew kit (teabags & Marvel milk powder) and its perfect in that role. When I came across Stanley gear, I couldn't believe just how heavy it was! I stuck with titanium and anodised aluminium for the weight savings, though other than for boiling water I'm not keen on titanium cookware for its awful heat distribution. Your kit looks very compact and purposeful and works well. Thank you for sharing.
Didn't have a drill when I bought mine. Stopped by a auto parts shop and got a stain less rod and a truck radiator hose clamp this turned in to a bale for the Stanley pot.
I did about the same as yours but with some different items. Using the Condor H20 pouch. Starting at the bottom of the of the pouch there is a Oilcamp Stainless Steel Space Saver Cup. Then the Stanley Adventure Cook Camp System which fits ( sits ) inside the cup. The tapered sides of the Stanley Camp Cook kit fits inside the cup like it was made for it. Along the outside of the Stanley is a long handled Titanium spoon. Inside the Stanley is the Gen2 Folding Firebox Nano Ultralight Backpacking 3" Stove. On top of the Stanley is a Trangia Alcohol burner so I can cook with either alcohol or wood. The outside pocket of the Condor has a plastic ( Flask shaped ) bottle which has the Denatured Alcohol for the Trangia. Next to it is a fero rod for lighting the burner or starting a fire. Folded next to the fero rod is a bandana which can be used if the handles of either pot gets to hot for a bare hand to touch. All of it together makes one small complete cooking outfit. Thanks to using a wood fire mine has a nice blacken bottom and sides to it which I think helps it to heat up quicker.
Chuck Littleton ...do you have a channel ... or can someone do a video of these modifications? tia ( newbie here...just getting started n just finding all these wonderful videos. thanks to all who take the time to share of your knowledge n time ...also needing to get prep supplies on a very limited budget ... tia
Pamela Miller .... I don't have a video just the explanation in my above post. There are a ton of videos on how folks have set up the system for themselves here on RUclips.
The fish mouth spreader has sharp ends to lock together. I've filed mine down and used a stainless quick link to hold the ends together. To grab the ring on the lid use a wooden type closepin spring clamp. A nylon scrubber cut to fit the cup will help reduce some of the clinking. A small round SS grill can provide a bit more stability for the Esbit, but must be carried outside the bottle holder.
Not bad on a cook set and I added up with your prices and it come in about 45-50 dollars depending on where you buy everything also sales tax I have something simular and it helps also mine will attach to the outside of my pack also you can also male a mini alcohol stove from an altoids time that fits into the esbit stove that is also light weight if you needed. Keep up the good work.
I use the same condor bag there and yes its horrible to get the cup out. I put my pointer/middle fingers in the shoulder strap rings and push the bottom with my thumbs. I've seen other suggestions in the comments. This one works for me.
Incredible voice match to Chad Prather. Good suggestions for mods on the Stanley Adventure pot ( I love mine.) For anyone out there who REALLY likes good coffee in the field, be advised that a 'standard' French press filter plunger fits perfectly into this Stanley pot.
1 simplification, that I think will work. If it is just a matter of cooking over an open fire with the Stanley system, if you lockdown the lid with the handle you can pick up a full pot of water with that split ring you put in place of the plastic handle. That way you don't have to keep taking the handle on and off, and you don't have to have an extra piece of equipment. Simply attach a cord or chain to the split ring, lock the lid down with the handle, and boil away. I have not yet tried to cook this way, but I have held a full pot of water suspended.
@@carlrooker That post was mostly for people who might be new to the cook pot type cooking. I've never seen anyone take hot pads camping. I mostly use a bandana or gloves.
i use the trangia burner (with the firebox stove) that i fit in the cup set, also i sometime use cotton pads dipped in vaseline and wax, theyre more compact than the blocks, half the price and burn for 7 mins each
@@johnmichaels4330 yeah I was surprised myself, just melt a tub of vaseline and try and put the same amount of candle wax in, then dip in those round cotton pads in for a quick second and lay them out to dry on a spread out length of aluminium foil.

awesome set up- i need that canteen!!!!! if you close that handle, you can hang the whole thing over the fire by the key ring. not quite as secure as that fish mouth spreader, but itll do the job!
Kightravin actually they will, but you need to make a bit of a mod. Simply open up the grooves on the top of the handle receiver until it holds tightly. I use mine FULL OF water, rice, chicken suspended on a chain .
@@teddahrable cool. mine wouldn't. so i drill holes and got a heat lamp spring/clamp and modified it to work like a fish mouth spreader because i already had it. be glad it worked for you because drilling was a real pain in the keaster. It may have been the bit that i was using though.
Use a can koosie or a wash rag on the bottom half of your water bottle to take up the extra space and keep your bottle from banging around. Cut a green scrubber pad to fit inside your cup so you can clean the bottom of your containers and keep carbon deposits from getting in them.
I am reviewing your vid. Thumbs up last time. My only comment to Stanley is to square off the bottom of their Adventure Cook Pot. It's currently difficult to find a stable stove for it. Squaring it off like one of the metal cups (keep all other dimensions the same) would make putting on a stove a lot easier. Thanks again.
I simply glued some spare washers to the bottom of mine with silicone which sorted it out when it refused to sit on one of my stoves, the ridge is there for strength usually.
If you had a orca one , which is the best but cost a bit more . Everything fit in plus you can put a foil insulation to keep you beverage or water cold . Great hacks bubba .
I have to get one of those Condor bags, as I have everything else. Love your setup and will be making one with similar mods. I would probably swap out the Esbit stove, (not that there is anything wrong with it in the kit, and replace with a canister stove and mini canisters such as the MSR Pocket Rocket, especially if they would fit in the side pouch. I have also seen another RUclipsr that flattened a spoon/spork (Coalcracker?) and slid it in with his nesting gear. Incidently, the Walmart plastic cup lid will also fit the Stanley cook set. I have found a lid for my Stanley Boil and Brew set and without the press it might work with larger water bottles and/or maybe another cup could nest in it and the water bottle in it, if a slightly larger "pot" would be desired. I wonder if the Simple Theory Gear Stove or an Ikea stove with cup and water bottle nested in it would fit in pouch.
Thanks!! I actually have one of the flat folding stoves that I use with this setup. I was just showing some options for stoves. In theory you can use natural material in the Esbit in a pinch if you don't have the tabs for it.
Nice video! I have a similar set up, but would like to have those lid notches. I read down further that you used an angle grinder to cut the notches. It would be cool if you could make a video of that on something similar like a small piece of metal or something. Thanks for the vid.
i have a similar set up . i use a SS spork .all together my set up cost about $35.00 . i made my own fish mouth spreader , my pouch came from Wish.com , small debris stove from Wish , the spork was a trade deal . SS water bottle from a thrift store . cup from walmart . i do however want to get a titanium cup and perhaps a long handle titanium spoon . but we will see . those things aren't really needed .
If you would of bought a Orca of a G4 water bottle pouch , they are a little bigger and hold more gear , I have a few different brands and I like those ones the best and they come with a shoulder sling . If you like me you probably charged your set up 10 times by now . Good ideas
I did much the same to my kit but I spent a little more for a 12x5 maxpedition pack so it wouldn't fit so tight. Grabbed an Amazon deal for $32 instead of the condor.
Have you tried stacking the stanley and cup on top of the bottle so the cup comes out first and then the stanley, and finally the bottle? This stops the cup getting stuck at the bottom.
I see this is an old upload so I wont expect an answer but ask it anyway... I like the mods you did to the Stanley Camp Cook Kit, I will probably do the same to mine. The question I have is for the canteen, I don't see the website for it anywhere so can you tell me what size bottle it is? Clean Canteen and others make similar bottles so if I knew the size, it would help me to get one as well. I already ordered the pack for it all on Amazon :) Thanks, good vid!
I'd look at self reliance outfitters, pathfinder equipment, the master kit is about the same price as your build . And his kits has shoulder straps with them . I used the pathfinder gen 3 bottle bag, 64 oz bottle 48oz nesting cup lid , every thing the 32 oz kit had in it , and a stainless steel pathfinder acohol stove it all fit
I appreciate the comment. I am not a fan of Dave since he went from "common man" stuff to pimping every product that would put his name on it. The last straw was his crazy expensive, gimmick triple barrel shotgun garbage. He even took down his DIY of the sling bow after Marksman picked up the design with his name on it. I respect his knowledge and his accomplishments but dont agree with some of his actions. I am all for a man making a dollar but he has a pattern of this type behavior so I no longer follow him.
My only complaint is the rounded bottom of the Stanley cook pot. Makes it hard to put on various stoves. Mind you I have two of them. What is the diameter of the stainless water bottle. So cool that it fits inside the Stanley. I currently have two condor bottle packs attached to my back pack. One has a standard GSI 20 oz cup and the other has a DZO 25 oz cup. Both have 1 liter Nalgene bottles. There are DZO cup lids for both cups. There is a Trangia stove and accessories.
Great video. This is virtually identical to my Condor cook kit without the Esbit stove and my stainless bottle is the Nalgene 32oz and my cup the Tatonka which the Stanley cook pot lid fits perfectly. It all nests together perfectly. To overcome the problem of getting the items in and out of the pouch I just put everything nested into a plastic bag and it slides in and out with ease. Thank you for sharing :)
ExtremePilot1 Hello...I think yes but would be best to check...maybe ask the question on Amazon which is where I purchased the condor h2o pouch from :)
I have the same set-up. If you put the nesting containers in a stuff sack, it might be easier to pull everything out together ( I got the idea from "HighCarbonSteel" )Thanks for sharing
i would have drilled the holes at the top of the pot 90 degrees to where you have so i could see the graduations on the side of the pot, a very nice set up though.
I put the stanley cup on top and the lid loose on top of that adn zipper closed I put a couple tea bags and some packet sugar in a zip lock bag on the side compartment Whay did you use to notch the lid for the fish spreader bail a dremel tool
very nice set up. i have the stanley pot and a walmart cup. i dont have the canteen, i just dont have a need for it. i use a canister stove. i like the ezbit stove you have. will the ezbit stove nest inside the stanley with lid on it?
For right around $30 i can buy that cup the cook pot a set of camp silverware a stainless steel silverware strainer two metal tent pegs and some nuts bolts and washers and have a nesting woos burning cook kit all in one! Granted the stove portion is too wide to fit inside that type of bottle holder for an extra $10 bringing me up to $40 i can get a stuff sack and a sports bottle to complete the set
Cool! If you're doing it on the super cheap, just put it all in a $2 suff sack or pillow case and save the cost of the $20 canteen pack. Then tie it to your belt.
Hey, great review I am currently buying a set based on something like this, but I was wondering if you weather or not a 40oz nalgene bottle will fit inside the Stanley cook set.
I have a 40 oz kleen kanteen in a GSI cup in a Condor bag. It fills the Condor bag to the top. I also have a NC bottle bag that is a bit taller than the Condor. I have a 5ive Star Gear 1 liter bottle, cup/pot with lid, and nesting survival stove. I the 40 oz for drinking water for me and my lab when on expeditions and the 5 Star rig mainly for cooking set on campouts. I'm gonna add a stanley cup like his. I also added a Titan paracord rifle sling to my Condor that came without a strap. I wonder if the wire bail off a 5 gal bucket would work as well as the fish spreader. I guess I'm gonna find out.
I think k its funny when people complain about the weight of the SS products. In the military we hump 100lbs all the time. People complaining about 50lb packs. Smh. As biden would say "come on man" now I'm not sure what I what I was talking about.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great vid- thanks for posting this. I’m in the process of grinding the handles...and have the same items but my Kleqn Klanteen of course is too big...I can’t seem to find that bottle you have...any chance you could provide link to that website? Cheers.

The 32 oz. Kleen Kanteen works very well. The tapering shape fits into the Stanley cook set. The bottle he used was from a thrift store, with some advertising logo on it.
Walmart has little cheep stuff stacks in camping. The main canteen bag shown in the video is a Condor brand. I've seen them at surplus stores, but I got mine at a gun and knife show.
I put the cup and Stanly in upside down on top of the bottel and the lid on the bottom under the bottle.
It all comes out really easy.
Oops!
I overlooked Jeff Lorchs post.
I have a stainless steel water bottle and cup. Both have lips around the top. I took steel wire and wrapped 4 or 5 loops around them below the lips. I then took nails and placed them inside the loops and twisted the nails in opposite directions bring the loops tight.

Water bottle pack are a pain to get things out of. I put the outter thing (glacier cup here) into a long plastic bag, like a bread bag. Then you pull the bag out and the cup slides right out with it.
I ended up putting it in a cloth bag.
Put the Stanley, GSI cup and Water bottle into a tall, slim bag or bandana. Push all that down into the bottle bag. Pull the whole thing back out by pulling on the bag or bandana. You can also replace the fish mouth spreader with a stainless steel fishing leader
Two leaders with snaplinks work well.
I use a light draw string bag. Keeps the inside of the bottle pouch clean and easy to remove from around the kit.
Maxpedition has a 5x12 that holds the cookpot and two stainless cups
You can also put a small alcohol stove in that stove and it doubles up as a wind shield. It works great
I wonder if you could put an empty tea light tin in there and fill with alcohol for a stove and get a boil?
You can burn anything that fits and is combustible.
Alcohol is sooo much cleaner though!
I dig the mods you did to the Stanley lid.
I really like your setup, very well thought out.
Thank you!

Nice video! I have a similar set up, but would like to have those lid notches. I read down further that you used an angle grinder to cut the notches. It would be cool if you could make a video of that on something similar like a small piece of metal or something. Thanks for the vid.
i have a similar set up .
i use a SS spork .all together my set up cost about $35.00 .
i made my own fish mouth spreader , my pouch came from Wish.com , small debris stove from Wish , the spork was a trade deal . SS water bottle from a thrift store . cup from walmart .
i do however want to get a titanium cup and perhaps a long handle titanium spoon . but we will see . those things aren't really needed .
Smart setup and mods. Thank you.
If you would of bought a Orca of a G4 water bottle pouch , they are a little bigger and hold more gear , I have a few different brands and I like those ones the best and they come with a shoulder sling . If you like me you probably charged your set up 10 times by now . Good ideas
I did much the same to my kit but I spent a little more for a 12x5 maxpedition pack so it wouldn't fit so tight. Grabbed an Amazon deal for $32 instead of the condor.
nice set up !
Thanks!
Yes, 32 oz bottle. Sorry I accidentally removed your question with no way of putting it back.
Dave from High Carbon Steel Love put his similar kit in a stuff sack to aid in removal
I keep everything in a stuff sack now and that is the way to go for sure. Thanks
Have you tried stacking the stanley and cup on top of the bottle so the cup comes out first and then the stanley, and finally the bottle? This stops the cup getting stuck at the bottom.
Great mods/ideas ! Thanks ! good luck !
Thanks!!
I see this is an old upload so I wont expect an answer but ask it anyway... I like the mods you did to the Stanley Camp Cook Kit, I will probably do the same to mine. The question I have is for the canteen, I don't see the website for it anywhere so can you tell me what size bottle it is? Clean Canteen and others make similar bottles so if I knew the size, it would help me to get one as well. I already ordered the pack for it all on Amazon :) Thanks, good vid!
I'd look at self reliance outfitters, pathfinder equipment, the master kit is about the same price as your build . And his kits has shoulder straps with them . I used the pathfinder gen 3 bottle bag, 64 oz bottle 48oz nesting cup lid , every thing the 32 oz kit had in it , and a stainless steel pathfinder acohol stove it all fit
I appreciate the comment. I am not a fan of Dave since he went from "common man" stuff to pimping every product that would put his name on it. The last straw was his crazy expensive, gimmick triple barrel shotgun garbage. He even took down his DIY of the sling bow after Marksman picked up the design with his name on it. I respect his knowledge and his accomplishments but dont agree with some of his actions. I am all for a man making a dollar but he has a pattern of this type behavior so I no longer follow him.
Thanks for the good review. I have a very similar setup.
+J Castillo Thanks for watching and the comments!!
My only complaint is the rounded bottom of the Stanley cook pot. Makes it hard to put on various stoves. Mind you I have two of them. What is the diameter of the stainless water bottle. So cool that it fits inside the Stanley. I currently have two condor bottle packs attached to my back pack. One has a standard GSI 20 oz cup and the other has a DZO 25 oz cup. Both have 1 liter Nalgene bottles. There are DZO cup lids for both cups. There is a Trangia stove and accessories.
Some nice tweaks there, definitely pinching for mine...
The bail holes should have bee aligned nearer the handle for pouring or drinking.
Empty the from pouch and push up from the bottom. 10x faster than anything mentioned.
Best setup, just subed.
Thanks!!
Great video. This is virtually identical to my Condor cook kit without the Esbit stove and my stainless bottle is the Nalgene 32oz and my cup the Tatonka which the Stanley cook pot lid fits perfectly. It all nests together perfectly. To overcome the problem of getting the items in and out of the pouch I just put everything nested into a plastic bag and it slides in and out with ease. Thank you for sharing :)
Plus...I store my water filter kit in the front pocket.
Does the Nalgene 38 oz work or the 40oz Kleen Kanteen. Was just thinking over going with a little more volume of water.
ExtremePilot1 Hello...I think yes but would be best to check...maybe ask the question on Amazon which is where I purchased the condor h2o pouch from :)
I"M sure the dimensions are the same as yours. Is yours a 38...or 40 ?
ExtremePilot1 I have the Nalgene 32oz :)
Very nice !
Thank you very much!
Cool vid 👍
I have the same set-up. If you put the nesting containers in a stuff sack, it might be easier to pull everything out together ( I got the idea from "HighCarbonSteel" )Thanks for sharing
Cool ideas man. Thanks.
I really liked this video. Thank you. 👌
u added weight and complicated it, but u are very ingenious, dont let a university student use it, he will be confused.
LOL
i would have drilled the holes at the top of the pot 90 degrees to where you have so i could see the graduations on the side of the pot, a very nice set up though.
have everything just need a bag to hold it all
The lid to your Stanley adventure cook it will work on top of your cup
Love it!
Very informative video.
I put the stanley cup on top and the lid loose on top of that adn zipper closed I put a couple tea bags and some packet sugar in a zip lock bag on the side compartment Whay did you use to notch the lid for the fish spreader bail a dremel tool
Actually used an angel grinder but a Dremel or even a hand file would work.
Cool mods.
Great vid. Thanks
awesome vid
very nice set up. i have the stanley pot and a walmart cup. i dont have the canteen, i just dont have a need for it. i use a canister stove. i like the ezbit stove you have. will the ezbit stove nest inside the stanley with lid on it?
For right around $30 i can buy that cup the cook pot a set of camp silverware a stainless steel silverware strainer two metal tent pegs and some nuts bolts and washers and have a nesting woos burning cook kit all in one!
Granted the stove portion is too wide to fit inside that type of bottle holder for an extra $10 bringing me up to $40 i can get a stuff sack and a sports bottle to complete the set
Good to know. Post up a video for us to see your setup. Thanks for posting and commenting.
Cool!
If you're doing it on the super cheap, just put it all in a $2 suff sack or pillow case and save the cost of the $20 canteen pack. Then tie it to your belt.
Great video..
Beautiful
have a yeti 1 qrt insulated thermos for work just tried too fit it in the my stanley set. just a couple of hairs too large.
Hey, great review I am currently buying a set based on something like this, but I was wondering if you weather or not a 40oz nalgene bottle will fit inside the Stanley cook set.
No
I have a 40 oz kleen kanteen in a GSI cup in a Condor bag. It fills the Condor bag to the top. I also have a NC bottle bag that is a bit taller than the Condor. I have a 5ive Star Gear 1 liter bottle, cup/pot with lid, and nesting survival stove. I the 40 oz for drinking water for me and my lab when on expeditions and the 5 Star rig mainly for cooking set on campouts. I'm gonna add a stanley cup like his. I also added a Titan paracord rifle sling to my Condor that came without a strap. I wonder if the wire bail off a 5 gal bucket would work as well as the fish spreader. I guess I'm gonna find out.
Do you have the video were you did the Stanley cup holes and the lid also so I can get a idea how to do it
Forgot to ask... what size of water bottle/canteen are you using? 32oz or 26oz?
32oz
I like this kit over all. I think that you did well. Question; what are the sizes in your kit?
Read the comments.
You'll find the answers you seek. And even more info. I sure did.
@@laremyzaring8568, My reply was 5 months ago.
What tool did you use to punch out the lid to fit the fish spreader?
Angel grinder from Harbor Freight. It's like less than $20.00 and comes in handy around the shop for many projects.
@@GunsandGearNetwork Hallelujah! I love that store. I'll head back there tomorrow, went to two of them today looking for cool camping gear.
do you have a video of your new system/stuff sack?
good job
HI what size cup do i need to fit the Stanley inside it as in the video
I think k its funny when people complain about the weight of the SS products. In the military we hump 100lbs all the time. People complaining about 50lb packs. Smh. As biden would say "come on man" now I'm not sure what I what I was talking about.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great vid- thanks for posting this.
I’m in the process of grinding the handles...and have the same items but my Kleqn Klanteen of course is too big...I can’t seem to find that bottle you have...any chance you could provide link to that website? Cheers.
The 32 oz. Kleen Kanteen works very well. The tapering shape fits into the Stanley cook set. The bottle he used was from a thrift store, with some advertising logo on it.
If you haven't found one yet, I've seen 32 and 40 oz kleen canteen bottles at Target. Be careful, the have insolated bottle too.
@Laremy Zaring
Thanks. What I ended up finding that worked perfect is the tapered ‘urn’ style S.S water bottle made by Nalgene.
Which Condor pouch is this? I have a similar setup, but no pouch.
Condor MA40
Your fish spreader is about 6inches? Seems 7 inches wouldn't fit the side pocket of the Condor pouch.
it will fit inside the stainless bottle
Where can I get that bag at
Military surplus stores.
Or gun and knife shows.
Where do I get the pack?
Amazon, Ebay, etc a lot of vendors carry the Condor line of products.
How did you cut the slots on the lid?
Angle Grinder.
Where are your links to these products?
Where can I get the pouch at I can't find it
Walmart has little cheep stuff stacks in camping.
The main canteen bag shown in the video is a Condor brand. I've seen them at surplus stores, but I got mine at a gun and knife show.
