[@cmv7284]

The butterfly handle locks??? Mind blown. Great video and information. Thanks!!!

[@Moroni108]

LOL, African Barking spider @ 10:53 ... Thank you again for the information. I learned something about locking those butterfly handles.. :)

Always great to see ingenuity at work. Thanks for sharing the canteen tips!

[@boomshanka8743]

Love that baking tip Blackie! I had no idea butterfly handle cups could lock like that. Good stuff!

[@neilcastell6951]

great video ... i have a couple of canteen sets, i know there are better more modern alternatives out there, but i cant bring myself to give up the trusty old canteen cup.

[@blackhatbushcraft]

My first canteen cup was the old style and I have carried that thing many many miles and eaten many good meals from it. I still have it in my collection today and it is definitely a sentimental item at this point from so many good memories in the field. Good information and an awesome idea for baking you showed. I had not seen that method before. Thanks for sharing brother! Take care!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks brother..safe journeys

[@c.e.jarvis1512]

Well done Blackie. It's good to see someone who actually knows what they're doing talking about it. You did it again.

[@HK-qj4im]

I had no idea you could bake with this set. 👍👍

[@scoutsniper485]

I did a great mod. Took the canteen shop stainless stove and took a dremmel and cut around the top and removed the grill part. Now I have a exact replica of the military canteen stove but it’s stainless

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

nice job..hope it works well for ya

[@MTwoodsrunner]

must be canteen cup tuesday...saweet!...great for digging cat holes and baling the river out the canoe after a rough stretch of water...without having to off load all your gear first! one of my favorite pieces of outdoor equipment...woods

[@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival]

You know it is one of my favorites also...lol

[@shadowulf]

here I was, trying to find a mini/micro Dutch oven for biscuits, and you had a solution in the kit. Thanks Blackie

[@kilroy44none85]

Lol....what were you baking at the 10:54 mark?

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

lol

[@paulwolf2775]

Thanks for the tips on the canteen cup, and stoves. I haven't been able to find a stove yet, but I've seen them in use. I have a World War 2 model cup that I've had for years. Probably my most favorite piece of kit

Excellent !! Thank You, Sir !! H.

[@canadafree2087]

One of the most loved pieces of mil kit (up there with ponchos and woobies) but also one of the worst. Burn your lips on the metal, and takes forever to heat with tablets. Sure, I still have one. lol Would love to see more canteen cup cooking videos.

[@victorcastle1840]

Hello Blackie, and thanks for the tips. Just noticed I had not been notified of your video's and several other of my first subs. I see google or you tube as undid the bell . I had never seen the heavy duty canteen cup cover like yours before. We were never issued a cup cover in Nam, back in '67-'68 or the stove bottom. We made them with a church key and the short cheese can. Heat tabs came with c- rations or so they were called .

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

the cup cover is the old canvas canteen cover from early nam era it was replaced with the nylon late i n the war and thru the 90's till the modern one took over..i like the canvas one for the liner that holds heat and also can be wet in hot weather to help cool the water by evaperation

[@hardtrooth1776]

Hello Blackie do you have any videos using the German or Russian Romanian kidney shaped typ mess kits for all the uses you do cooking baking or other hacks I'd love to see that. I like the heavy cover you have but forget trying to find one.they don't make them any more. By the way that was a nice baking trick. Great video man.

[@P61guy61]

Thank you for posting another fine video.

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

Gréât vidéo Blackie. To the point and very clear. Thanks and take care.

[@frankjolly1680]

Blackie Where do you buy “ heavy lid for canteen cup”. Marine gave me everything but lid. I am using aluminum DIY. GREAT VIDEO. “ baking” 👍🇺🇸

[@jacquiblanchard3131]

Great video, Blackie. Thanks so much for the great tips!

[@scrider5493]

Gold. Thanks.

[@Leatherbark]

Good tips for sure. I have a problem finding the lid that fits the GI cup. I do have a Rothco butterfly with lid but alas the lid is too small for the GI cups.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i got mine from the canteen shop..check with SRO they may be able to hook ya up..or look for heavy cover lid on amazon

[@thomasbiel7741]

great video thanks

[@royblack8631]

I didn't like the Butterfly handle until you showed that it locks, Thanks for your information, it's great.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i had problems with it as well untill a old marine showed me how to lock them

[@gijr2003]

No mention of the tension bubble the folding handle uses to keep tab pressure against the cup "hooks". It's between the rivets. 2:11 shows it. If handle is bent and doesn't keep pressing against the bubble, tabs can unhook. When you fold foil around canteen, press cup onto canteen, it will mold the foil tighter.

[@thetruthhershelcyphers]

Another great DnD video.

[@RealtreeGrizzlyBear]

Awesome video appreciate you sharing this knowledge.

[@earlelzy7243]

Outstanding.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks sir..thanks for watching..safe journeys to ya

[@arctodussimus6198]

Really like the way you showed the features and differences in these cups. I agree with your selection for canteen cup stove also. I was distracted at the beginning of the video... did you mention the horizontal slot on the handle that is made for inserting your bayonet blade so as to extend the reach on the cup? That is, it worked that way back when we had skinny bayonets. 😉

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

yep it was used for that..and the mess kit knife fit in it as well for dipping the whole set in the chow line cleaning drums

[@terrancecoard388]

Excellent tip with the foil !!

[@Patrick-ld6io]

Great tips Blackie.

[@martynrosa]

Outstanding info! Thanks.

[@charlesadamski_197]

Very informative. Thank you.

[@billrivenbark8983]

How about demonstrating the baking in that setup? I'd like to see it so I can try it.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i will add that to my list

[@BargerD92]

Will my Pathfinder lid work as well?

[@randymcknight7764]

Hi blackie, is there anywhere I can buy a heavy cover lid, like the one in your video? Great video, by the way.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Not that I know of mine came from the canteen shop..a few yrs ago..if i find a source i will pass it along

[@badhat3051]

need I say it? A really great video Blackie

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thank you sir..safe journeys

[@jelkel25]

Find I go back to the old style stove stands no matter how many newer gizmos I buy, they're light, totally unobtrusive in your kit, highly useful and inexpensive. If for some weird reason I had to pick one canteen stove stand to use exclusively, including all the Crusader ones and the like, it would be this one.

[@samadler9253]

Thank you for a another useful video.

[@earlelzy7243]

I need that lid for my cups. I have both cups too.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

mine came from the now out of biz canteen shop..but ebay has a canteen cup lid

I like this idea and would love to find out more. Also I notice that you do a lot of black powder hunting I hunt in Rhode Island and central up state n.y. and am trying to build a decent back pack load out for black powder hunting do you have any suggestions for doing so the weather can get very cold here and would like to do something with my muzzle loaders that works.

thanks Blackie will do

[@tommyschauer3093]

HI I WONDER, IF A PERSON COULD CARFULY CUT THE BOTTOM OF THE NEWER STILE STOVE TO MAKE IT FIT THE CUP LIKE YOUR OLD STILE DID. LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN. YOUR OLD STILE ONE LOOKS LIKE IT CAN BE USED MORE WAYS THAN THE NEW ONE. IF YOU REALY NEED TEMPERAY BOTTOM, USE THE FOIL AND SHORT GREEN TWIGS.

Just curious how hard is it to get the baked goods out of that cup in one piece..never was good at geometry..lol. great video

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

with the foil its easy i run a thin knife around the edge where foil and cup meet and that will usually let it slide out

[@tracker5849]

@@BLACKIETHOMAS good idea..thank you..i may try that..mix berry muffin

[@nicoljos69]

I have a question, is it safe to cook or boil water in an old canteen cup? I recently purchased an old ww2 canteen cup km co 1945, wash it many times with soap then i had coffee from it but i got a funny taste so this worried me so i stopped to use it, anyone can give me any advice thanks

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

try this go get barkeepers friend at the store with the other cleaning products and scrub the canteen cup..really well then rinse out and add water and put on stove and boil..see if that fixes the problem..if not in the long life of a canteen cup who knows what it was used for..my uncle used one to measure fuel for use in farm equipment

[@robertmiller2629]

I would love to get a heavey cover lid like what you are using but can't find them even in military surplus do you know where I can get one I have 2 steel canteens that I use and one cup with the solid wrap around handle that locks in place with the sliding latch and old style stove that locks to the bottom of the cup. I also have an alcohole stove ( trangiea ) that works great when needed for under it for cooking but again I lack the lid can you help?

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i will they would make my cover again i got mine from canteen shop i understand it was heavy cover company but they dont get these any more

[@williammccaslin8527]

I noticed you had a nalgene canteen instead of a GI canteen, just curious, why ? Where did you get the heavy duty lid, never saw that before, only the thin ones.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i got both canteen and cup lid from canteen shop .com..the nalgene canteen is dishwasher safe..so in the field that means i am safe to pour boiling wanterinto it..this will make the bottle into a hot water bottle for cold winter nights..and allows me to clean and steralize the canteen in the field..the g.i. cant take that hot of water it will melt..and if i am boiling my water as i often to to make it safe i can pour it in to canteen and not have to wait for it to cool

[@williammccaslin8527]

@Erich Von Wachter thx didn't know. I'll bet that happened when Canterbury decided to have his stuff made in China
