Does anyone know if the Source water bottle attachment works on these?

[@kevinmoore2929]

I went to their page to make sure because I had heard mixed opinions(no one gave clear facts in an hour long debate). While they do not list any known metal bottles, nalgene bottles ARE on there. Best bet would be to contact Source directly and ask point blank if they fit/work on the Pathfinder bottles.

[@halwestwood]

I do not believe it would fit as the lid/mouth size is a bit smaller than a standard Nalgene bottle.

[@stratblacknosugar.5125]

Nice one

[@SavageVoyageur]

Good review buddy, thanks. I find the 32 oz is not enough for me. I have the klean kanteen 40 oz. It fits inside my titanium 700 pot.

For a belt u gotta put molly strap thru plastic d rings and put ur belt thru

[@challenger2ultralightadventure]

I've been looking at both, wondering which one. Your evaluation and presentation gave me the information I need to make a decision. What I am looking for, is a survival kit for my float plane. A single package that I can pack with the 10 C's, some coffee, sugar, freeze dried food, dry soup pouches and Cliff bars, and a small Sawyer water filter, just in case I have to put down on a lake because of mechanical or weather issues, which has happened in the past. (weather) It seems like the canteen version is the best fit. I would remove the green canteen liner as redundant, to use the extra space. Then fill the canteen with the emergency food supplies so that it's safe from bugs or rodents getting at it as it will sit in the back of the airplane all summer. Thanks for the review, and Cheers from Winnipeg.

[@newageselfreliance]

I'm glad I could help. My friend has a plane and he did the same thing. He likes the wide mouth of the canteen because he can fit bigger stuff inside the bottle. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as he does.

[@Kurogane_666]

I have the water bottle kit but I have it in the molle pouch

Nice kits & great review, I too like Pathfinder products. The D rings on the back of the large canteen cook set pouch also allow you to run the straps through them & then mount on your belt/pistol belt. It serves well to strap it to your belt & then use in conjunction with the shoulder strap as well then it comes into its own & works great - Marco

[@TheDouglasTrevino]

I bought the Canteen Kit specifically for the canteen pouch. If you arrange the molly straps on the back of the canteen pouch correctly, they form two strong belt loops, and I like keeping my canteen on my belt. I keep an emergency space blanket, and the Pathfinder fire starters with it, and a few yards of bankline. My Mora Light My Fire lives right next to it on my belt. So for that extra $5 I have a basic survival kit on my belt, and a food pouch. On long day hikes I usually tie an Eno hammock or a tarp to the bottom of the pouch.

[@newageselfreliance]

It is a really great heavy duty pouch. Caroline likes to store her whole cook system in it. It holds everything with a lot of room to spare. Thank you so much for watching I really appreciate the support.

[@WolfLordBran1]

@@newageselfreliance Once the weather turns more reliable and warmer I'll be out fishing and hiking so I'll make sure to let you know how it turned out.

[@YankeeWoodcraft]

Either system is great, but I love the canteen. Much easier to grasp and hold when opening & closing than the round bottle. I also prefer the canteen's pouch as you can fit a complete PSK (personal survival kit) in it including a 5X7' tarp, an emergency poncho and a micro bivy for a very rudimentary shelter system, not to mention a micro fishing kit, fire kit, FAK, food packets, compass, bail wire, etc... Great thorough review and comparison. 👍🏻

[@newageselfreliance]

Yeah, the canteen pouch can hold way more than the water bottle can. The straight sides make the pockets a better shape for fitting different things as well.

[@SteveAubrey1762]

I owned 2 of the kidney shaped canteens you show. The first had the old bakelite cap and the rubber gasket gave the water a bad taste. They fixed this issue with the canteen later. I tried to boil water in it and the seam failed where the top and the bottom halves of the canteen come together. I bought the second one later and had the upgraded cap and gasket. I coated the inside with beeswax to prevent a leak at the seal but now I can't heat water in it. This is not an issue since I've been using the GI issue plastic canteen since 1976. Excellent video, well made and informative, I'm subscribing!

[@newageselfreliance]

I always use my cup for cooking. I haven't found a reason to put the canteen itself into the fire. The weld is definitely its weak spot. You have a full canteen of water or the heat will affect that weld. I'm dad had a plastic canteen with the cup that rests on top.

Thanks for a great review! You covered everything I wanted to know. I will get the bottle instead of the canteen. My decision came down to the lip folding outside for the bottle. I feel that it makes the bottle easier to maintain and more sanitary.

[@newageselfreliance]

The rolled lip on the canteen is so you can still use the fish mouth spreaders as a bail handle. That said I always use the bottle. It feels more natural drinking from a bottle than a bean-shaped canteen.

The poly liner in the canteen space is also a rain fly/dust protector as well as for keeping small things from falling out during stressful, physical activities like fighting bears and cougars... Enjoyed the comparison video and you did a great job.

[@newageselfreliance]

That makes a lot of sense. I don't really use the liner myself but I know Caroline always uses it. She is always worried about things falling out or not attaching the clip correctly. For her, it's more of a redundant closer. Thank You so much for watching and sharing your knowledge I really appreciate it.

[@DanielNighteyes]

Your description of the "original" (for lack of a better term) military canteen and its radial, top-to-bottom seams overlooked something. What you described is the late-war aluminum canteens. They were less-than-successful because, in addition to developing the leaks you described, would easily dent/collapse. The original, stainless steel, US military canteens were seamed together horizontally, exactly the way the Pathfinder canteen is assembled. That's why I seek out, and use, them to this very day. After extensive cleaning/sanitizing, of course.

[@newageselfreliance]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I have older military canteens but both the ones I own are plastic. When did they switch to stainless steel?

[@MDKDAF]

This is one of the most thorough comparison videos I have seen for these kits. I put together a bottle kit trading gear on a facebook group and ended up with the pathfinder cup / lid / fish mouth spreader, an off brand bottle pouch, and a 40oz Klean Kanteen. I am pretty happy with it, but I don't have a pot stand like yours. I made one out of some wire coat hanger, mostly for use with my Trangia spirit burner. After this vid I have sub'd. Cheers man.

[@newageselfreliance]

The pot stand works really well but at the end of the day, it is just thin metal circle with a top. The best part about it is that it fits around the nesting cup and takes up no extra space. I like using the Pathfinder alcohol stove myself. I like how it is much bigger than the Trangia and can hold a lot more fuel. All in all, I would say you have a really great kit. Thank You so much for watching and for all the support it really means a lot.

[@ROE1300]

Excellent review. Appears you received some good responses concerning the d-rings on the back of the canteen pouch, good way to engage your audience. The tight lid fit on the bottle cup is probably designed to prevent spillage if the cup tips over in the fire or is accidentally knocked over. Not as much of an issue with the handle design on the canteen cup. I have a US Army canteen that belonged to my Mom (an Army Nurse in WWII) and have never had an issue with seams leaking, although today it mostly sits on a shelf but was my main canteen for about 20 years plus during her service. Good tip on the lip of the canteen and possible bacteria collection. Overall a good fair comparison of these container systems. Thank you for sharing.

[@newageselfreliance]

I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. Having a WWII Canteen is a treasure and being your moms must make it extremely special.

[@ROE1300]

Wolf Pack Woodcraft Yes, and now I am old enough / smart enough to understand what my Mom meant when I asked to use the canteen. “Water only tastes good out of an old aluminum canteen when you are in the Philippine jungle.” Trust me, there is a good reason it now sits on a shelf. 😀

[@snowpuppy77]

Such an honest straightforward review. Just helping folks understand so they can make their own choice. Both are great options. I have had the Pathfinder canteen kit for a while and it has been excellent. I ordered a Firebox Nano from Selfreliance outfitters a couple days ago with their special and it happens to come with the SS cup you have in this video. I have a Nalgean bottle for a separate kit that goes with a GSI cup. Will see if the Pathfinder cup is preferred over the GSI cup. If so It will replace it since I understand it will also nest with a Nalgean.

[@newageselfreliance]

Yep, it will nest really well with your Nalgene bottle. The only complaint I have with the cup is the handles. I like the type of handles the GSI has better than the "bat wings" on the Pathfinder. I have a BattlBox cup that is a ripoff from the Pathfinder cups but it has the GSI style handles. I like how much longer they are and how the rest higher up on the cup so they don't get as hot when pulling them off the fire.

[@snowpuppy77]

@@newageselfreliance Agree that the GSI has nice handles that stay put. My GSI cup is the 20 oz. I noticed that they are now making a slightly larger 24oz of the same cup. My 20oz is not quite big enough to comfortably do Ramen noodle. 24oz would be just right for Ramen. I may get that one and use the Pathfinder lid with it. Perhaps drill a couple holes for the fish spreader bail.

The bandana trick works really well. I discovered it by accident I threw my bandana into the pouch when it was empty and it just so happened to land in a way to easily get the cup out. It works really well.

[@MikeWood]

Thanks for doing such a detailed comparison of the two bottle systems. I appreciated the extra info on the fold overs at the mouth of the containers and the inner seam on the canteen for being possible cleaning issue pain points. I know the bottles go through different incremental upgrades in design. Be curious to see if three years on this is the same issue.

[@newageselfreliance]

I think the reason the canteen folds the way they do is so that you can use a fishmouth spreader as a bail. I'm not sure if they changed the design but there was a reason for it being the way it was. I'm really glad you enjoyed the video.

I have one of those as well. From the Vietnam war. I never use it because I don't want anything to happen to it but I know they are really nice pieces of kit.

[@ChuckHoward]

Thanks for your thorough and outstanding review of these two systems. I have both and they both have their pros and cons. But with that said, I've enjoyed using both of them when I get outside or when canoeing. Keep up the great videos.

[@newageselfreliance]

Thank you so much for the support, it really means a lot to us.

[@spiraldo10]

Exceptional review buddy and you helped me decide! Ill go with the canteen! Stay safe and healthy! Regards from Sparta,🇬🇷

[@newageselfreliance]

I'm glad I could help.

[@miag8493]

It was very thorough and help me decide as well.

Thanks mate all the way from australia great thorough presentation

Glad you enjoyed it

I really like this comparison, I had the Pathfinder bottle setup but left my system in AU when I moved to US :P kicking myself now. I like the bottle system because it’s easier to carry and fits in most built in bottle pouches on backpacks without looking like a prepper nutcase, but the canteen style (Which I’m not used to) holds a little more and looks like it fits together more tightly which is preferred.

[@newageselfreliance]

They both make great options. I like drinking out of the water bottle better which is why I choose that one most of the time. The canteen does hold 7 more ounces of water.

[@joestriker2100]

Nice comparison. Helped me decide on which one I wanted. Went with the Canteen kit. Like the fact you get 2 pouches with the canteen.

[@newageselfreliance]

I do like the canteen system it is very well designed. You will have to let me know what you think of it.

[@joestriker2100]

@@newageselfreliance So far, I like it. have the smaller pouch strapped to my Go bag. But still have the larger pouch for whatever else I may need.....collecting tinder, extra storage....whatever. Only one pouch with the water bottle system.

[@TheRoadpilgrim]

Thanks for this video it was very helpful.

[@newageselfreliance]

Thank You so much for watching! I truly appreciate the Support!

[@pastortlc1]

Great review. Thank you for the details. I bought the Canteen Pouch separate and use it with my water bottle and it gives me a lot more room to add some other items.

[@newageselfreliance]

I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. They use to sell the canteen pouch with the water bottle as a system. I don't know why they stopped.

[@pobo6113]

You did a good job reviewing these products. I would like to point out some information for you. David Canterbury points out in a couple of his videos the importance of why the water bottle is 32 oz. All the forms of water purification is based on 32 oz. so there is no chance the lay person would make a mistake out in the wilderness on how much water to chemical they had. Personally I would think that information is kind of important .

[@newageselfreliance]

I think chemical treating water should be treated like wild mushrooms. If you're not 100% certain what you are doing, you shouldn't risk trying. One of the worst things that can happen when you are out in the wilderness is getting sick.

[@LShapedAmbush]

Excellent review. Thanks.

[@newageselfreliance]

I'm really glad I could help.

[@alorr4uz]

really good overview and comparison. I didn't see anything with either that an easy modification couldn't fix. Gorilla tape on the cup handles, drilling holes or spreader slots in the canteen lid, etc. I have a Go Time Gear bottle bag with a Blackthorn-USA bottle nested in a Toaks 500ml cup. The bottle bag is so narrow it is a fight to get the Toaks cup, or any other, out. I settled on a pull string (wide ribbon really) and it helps somewhat. I use the same pull system to get my 100G propane can out of my Stanley too. Great video, thx.

[@newageselfreliance]

You can get just the Water Bottle Bag for about $28 www.selfrelianceoutfitters.com/products/pathfinder-bottle-bag-gen3-black It only comes in black at the moment. I don't know if they changed colors or if they are gonna offer different colors. The larger bag really is nice for carrying the extra gear and easily getting everything in and out.

Nice presentation. You obviously know the product, pros & cons, Design features and advantages. I'm shopping for a mess kit & will probably get the canteen to fit the helikon tex essentials kit bag.

[@newageselfreliance]

I just looked up the Helikon Tex kit bag and now I want one lol. Is the build quality as good as it looks?

[@uncled9566]

Thx for the video... i like it alot ! new to the channel ;) looking forward to se you stuff !!

🎉 Drill your own drain holes on the other side of the lid. Great review😊

[@newageselfreliance]

That would work. I like to show products as is so people watching know exactly what they are spending their money on.

[@B-leafer]

Good extensive review.

[@newageselfreliance]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@nicholasramsey1988]

I have both, still use both. I do not have the canteen bag just a U.S. GI pouch wish I did have the bag it was sold out when I bought mine. They both seem heavy when full of water but hold enough to last through a pretty long day hike. I prefer to cook in the canteen cup, but the water bottle looks less like an army wannabe when in polite society like a state park. Both great kits !

[@newageselfreliance]

I really like both systems I just end up using the Water Bottle kit a lot more just because it's whgat I'm use to. Thank You so much for watching I really appreacdiaet the support.

Right, I have no idea why I watched this video - however, it is a brilliant review on the differences/similarities. If I ever wanted this kind of set up, I now know which one I would get. 👍

[@newageselfreliance]

I really like the bottle kit as well. It's one of my most used pieces of gear.

[@dannyh9010]

Awesome comparison video. I’m wondering about using the canteen pouch and the bottle set to make a day hike bushcraft kit.

[@newageselfreliance]

A friend of mine did a video doing just that. Jiujitsu2000 is his channel I'm sure you will enjoy his video kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGfNk5KbbJd6o6s

[@visnuexe]

Awesome details!

[@newageselfreliance]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Do the D-rings hold the canteen tight on your belt? I imagine it would bounce around a lot.

[@bushcraftjoe1]

The d rings on the back will allow you to weave the molle thru as normal but also would allow you to attach slings or lash it to somerhing.

[@newageselfreliance]

Thank You so much for sharing your knowledge I really appreciate it!!! Can't you do the same thing with the webbing though? I wonder why they chose D-rings I would think they would cost more and not be as versatile.

[@bushcraftjoe1]

wolf pack woodcraft the webbing should be able to snap over a belt on your hip. The use of the d rings should allow for weaving the straps thru pal webbing. Try it on a belt. Not sure on the cost of d ring vs snaps tho. I just order the canteen set last night. Looks like it will be a good deal. Planning an appalachia trail adventure and needed a kit to boil water to drink and heat up moutain house type meals . How heavy is the water bottle kit

[@newageselfreliance]

The water bottle, cup, lid, wood stove comes in about 1 pound 3 ounces and with the bag, it's about 1 pound 11 ounces. It isn't the lightest kit but it is very durable and will last a lifetime if taken care of.

[@randyyeager]

the d-rings are supposed to make it easier to weave molle thru...and it'll moll to pouches/bags with uneven webbing...but it does make it a bit more floppy when it's attached...

[@newageselfreliance]

I'm not really a fan of the D-rings. I wish they would have just used standard webbing.
