The Forest Ranger Canteen [OVERVIEW]

In this video we take a good look at a great 1 Quart Water Source, the Forest Canteen. Also know as the USFS, GSA, Forest Ranger Canteen, among many other names. It's a great, low cost, option to keeping water on you at all times.

Cheap, light, and effective. Works great to throw in a gym bag. Replaced an old Gatorade bottle I was reusing 😂. Another tip: you can tie some shock cord or para cord around the rim to make a carrying lanyard that fits securely under the lip.

I used those when I did some wildland firefighting. Nothing fancy, but they get the job done with no issues.

[@allenwilson5235]

They tuck away better than anything, and it is light.

For me, I prefer the Nalgene oasis, basically a usgi canteen on my pack as I can put them on the webbing belt.

[@RavenRedwood]

I'll gladly buy some if two will fit side by side in the SADF square 2L pouches. I like the idea of dumping just one on each side into the camelbak so I don't end up lopsided 😁
Eyyy, I just measured and they should fit _perfectly._ Hell yeah. I'll wait till I can get $60 of other stuff as well for free shipping 😏

[@VentureSurplus]

Brilliant! good to know! Keep an eye out for more gear, we release a lot of new stuff every week

[@RogueSarge]

Looks like a great option for spare water bottles on hikes and stuff. I will have to order a few!

[@ivymp4]

I clicked order before the video was even done! Great find!

[@TheDizzle976]

FYI, Coors light pint bottle caps fit these. For when the cap breaks

[@beaujumper]

Quality info like normal. Thanks. I'm going to order a few of those

[@froginthewaves8450]

VERY COOL!

[@aaronpoh3728]

I still have one from my wildland days. I thought it was pretty neat drinking from what looks like a rubbing alcohol bottle.

[@davidoftheforest]

you had me at 'forestry'

[@mikerilling6515]

But since you can essentially get drinking water bottles from your friends and family for free that are compatible with Sawyer filters, plus if I lose the lid on a free empty reusable water bottle it’s no big deal so what’s the point of buying this other product that you’re trying to sell?

[@bigoz7]

Cool vid thanks for sharing! Are these BPA free?

[@VentureSurplus]

Yes, these are BPA free

[@misfitlife3091]

Can the sawyer squeeze connect to this like the Nalgene oasis

[@theloneranger6758]

Great question.

[@donmarion8808]

Trash.. we used them fighting fire. Caps broke, unscrewed by themselves, and leaked like a sieve. We used military canteens, nalgenes, or camelback. They usually came with a white cotton canteen pouch that had Fss stamped on it.

[@stephenurban9880]

I can see these working well for more sedate use but would imagine the top is subject to popping off during rough handling..

[@kirkblackson]

Interesting. Will they fit an a double mag pouch?

[@VentureSurplus]

Too wide, I did try though.

[@Tragicide]

Ok, I know nobody is asking this but, what is the deal with the stripes on the canteen?

[@VentureSurplus]

it's just a sticker

[@JosephAllen-d2e]

Ill stick with smart water bottles.

[@Blackcloud_Garage]

Ok until you loose the cap.
