ThanX!! I did wonder what people would think of that titanium cup comment. What I find is they market all kinds of things like the titanium cups which are simply designed to get the $$ money out of your pocket into to their's. Simple living and "frugal bushcraft" suggests not wasting money on all the "sexy" camp stuff. Would you believe I checked last night and on ebay they have titanium Sierra cups for over $50 dollars!!! As I suggested most of my cups come from second hand stores and cost well under five bucks. Thank you for the comment. Lets use our resources $$ to get out into the woods rather than glitzy camp stuff we end up not using.
Personally i like the gi cup. I carry it, the little stove and the canteen all in the canteen carrier. But i also carry a small cook kit , the pot i use is a stainless steel grease can with lid i picked up at the doller store. I like it because it has a strainer and a little bit of a pour spout. It is very multi functional.
Yes! yes this is a good system. I haven't used it but it seems like a good frugal approach. I use a small "Hobo Stove" with my cups. In this video I didn't really speak to the stove issue. You wise to point out this whole system as an example. With the large cup I showed I can put a fuel canister and small propane stove inside the cup. That works great for day trips with a need for coffee or tea. However, I particularly like using a "Hobo Stove." They are simple and easy to make. I have a great video on my oldest Hobo Stove which illustrates my thinking there.
Great video, I'm all about my wood turned mug, kinda like a kuksa but bigger and no handle to get in the way. I know metal is handy but I just like wood. Guess the best cup is the one that makes you the happiest 😉👍 Subscribed.
Thank you for the comment. The brass Sierra cup is out there waiting for you in a second hand store someplace. I did indeed get mine for one dollar. However it didn't look the way it does now in the video. I had to take it home and clean it up. 0000 steel wool worked very well. What's interesting to me is the aluminum Sierra cup I showed is likely the least common. There again I found it in a second hand store for no more than two bucks. Good luck with your treasure hunt and find time to get into the woods.
1. Stainless steel only! Tatonka or gsi cup, pathfinder as well, with folding handle, good capacity and You can fit nalgene or cantene bottle in it, save space. There is so many on vid, nothing good.... Cup on belt with backpack on You... Not really. If you really have to atache it to molle or shockcord.
ThanX for the comment. There are a lot of choices out there and you are right some of it is junk. I only have a backpack on when I am hiking. Furthermore, for me frugality is important. I just saw a brass cup like the one I bought for a buck or a buck and a half in eBay for $100 dollars. Several of the cups I have here have also sold for over $150. I mostly get mine at a second hand store or what we call a "goodwill" store. I would also say I am not into name brands, "Pathfinder" "GSI" "REI" "Tatonka" Those are for the people who have money burning a hole in their pocket. I would also agree that a cup that can boil water is also a better choice. Take care and enjoy your time in the woods.
Lol! The titanium Sierra cup comment cracked me up! That's quite a collection! Great to see you back making videos! Atb Sean

@@okanoganforest i carry a small home made gasifier stove that will fit in my base pot.
But thats for long term. For 1 or 2 day, i use the little stove that came in the gi set.
