[@DarkMetaOFFICIAL]

i need ultra comfortable after market straps for lc-1 medium

[@joaquimrasi6822]

The canteen on their e-bay is unfortunately not going for the amount you mentioned. (Unless it is a fake Kaufmans ebay store) Its going for say 94 dollars. The canteen look more banged up. Either way that canteen and cup combo looks ready to live in a haversac 🏆 Greetings from Norway

I love surplus gear, definitely built to last.

[@boomshanka8743]

I bought one of those canteens years ago for over $100 and sold it pretty quick as I couldn't find a matching cup. AFAIK, they only made about 1200 of them. You got a great deal there, Blackie.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Oh wow! i will post the new video fri i think several hundred are at my surplus place now

[@edgarburlyman738]

If I'm in the Arctic I'm taking the biggest heaviest triple vacuum wall thermos, full of boiling cocoacoffee! If I'm out so long it freezes and busts I'll happily get another!

[@timlacy2284]

Blackie, Thank You for sharing this information . Great looking canteen will last a long time. You can't go wrong with Military Surplus. Thanks Again Sir. Tim L.

[@preacherman9018]

I've passed up the big heavy gauged stainless quart flasks at thrift stores because of the small opening would make it impossible to clean with a brush. This however looks like the finest canteen a military has ever put out. That opening allows you to see inside and clean easier when necessary. You wouldn't want it for anything but water, because it could get moldy. A brush and weak bleach water rinse repeat would sanitize it though. I bought the last run of USA made stainless name brand thermoses with a similar sized opening. They've all been made in China since. They're Fully insulated for coffee during hunting season and whenever. Brushable all the way through. This canteen would heat water to make the coffee. Great find. ☕😎👍 To coffee!

[@danieldelavina9398]

[@bootstrapperwilson7687]

What year was the last US made canteens?

[@preacherman9018]

@@bootstrapperwilson7687 That's a good question. I was also wondering what vintage those were out of curiosity. I did find out that they are $30 . My Aladdin Industries 1 quart thermoses were made in Nashville before outsourcing to China around 20 years ago. The history of the canteen will be much more interesting. Please post if you find out.

Great canteen, great watch. Thanks Blackie.

Cool video. Down to earth. Keep taking us with you .

[@erolkavlakverizon6112]

Blackie, great find! I was at Kauffman 2 weeks ago, picked up a canteen cup and the "stove", i also grabbed a padded Alice pack hip belt that I needed. Sorry I missed the camp out.. hopefully next time.

i'm from Jersey and have been thinking of taking that ride to meet yall sometime.

Thanks 👍

[@paulpritchard1980]

Hey Blackie nice find. I don't know the exact dimensions of the bottle have a look at things like Gatorade bottle lids they might be the right size. The toggle idea was pretty smart I went out and bought a fish mouth spreader to hang my bottle over the fire.

[@earlshaner4441]

I love the L-Handle canteen cup

[@Lightandlovetoyou]

You’re the man Blackie

[@shadowstalker130666]

Havent tried one of these yet! Gonna check em out. Im up in Wisconsin, and i usually use the Canadian arctic canteens, which look like normal 1qt, bit different sized, but theyre a canteen shaped thermos. And they fit easy into alice pack outside pockets. Got a green one for warm water or pine needle tea, and a black one for coffee. Even have plastic cups to drink from. Never had one of them burst, but i do put liquids in hot, and stays hot for a good 6hrs at -20°F. Cant ask for more than that at those temps. Do wish they had metal cups though! Might see about buying the pathfinder cups, as those are bigger than normal 1qt cups.

[@smoothvern165]

Really nice find, and a great little story about your camping trip!

[@johnwyman5939]

Awesome find!!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

That handle was designed in part to better dissipate heat when near or on a fire .

[@JohnnyHildebrand1969]

Cool gear, Blackie. Our local surplus store got closed couple years back due to a tornado taking out the entire shopping center. Occasionally I can find gear in flea markets or yard sales. God bless.

[@oldminer5387]

Thank you for sharing Blackie, neat find.

[@YankeeWoodcraft]

I love discoveries like that. Great score there.

[@trynsurviven2440]

I’ve never seen a canteen like that. Great find.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i had not either

[@jelkel25]

Never seen those newer US arctic canteen kits, looks like a nice bit of kit!!! I'm sure that will do the business for you for many years.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Fingers crossed!

[@aaronzierke9920]

Nice deal on a winter canteen set. Most are expensive.

[@williamdroom5789]

Sorry I missed your fall gathering. This the first I'm hearing about it or I would have been there with bells on.

Looking forward to the Kaufman tour.

[@robertevans8126]

Thanks for all of the links :)

[@jeffrichards5106]

That's awesome Blackie, I've never seen one of those canteens before, either. I have the Arctic canteen, cup and cover (banjo shaped). Would definitely like to get one like yours. Appreciate the information. 👍

[@misolgit69]

was that a new pack in the thumbnail Blackie can't wait for the details

[@kowalski363]

Great job

[@Old-man-of-the-forrest]

Realy cool canteen, or hot one if its in the fire. I've got to see if i can get me one of those.

Wow that was a great find Blackie, I like your vest too. Glad your camp out went good wish I could have been there. Are you going to Georgia Bushcraft fall jamboree? Thanks for sharing your find. Stay safe and NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR BEING A PATRIOT 🇺🇲 🇺🇸

Man I wish we had good surplus stores in Canada

[@elvinamillaneam]

Greetings Blackie, I really enjoyed military surplus... I would like to purchase the same canteen and several other items.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

look in description box and you will find their number

[@kennethwilson8633]

You must have had some really hot water in that canteen…we used to fill ours with the coffee in the mess halls and those pots will scald you..never had an issue and just a little bleach inside with water to clean it up afterwards.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

good to know thanks

[@jamesbowen5573]

Dude that is so awesome, I bought a filter canteen a few months ago that looks like the green 1 L army canteens. Only on the bottom of the cap is a replaceable filter. Not only does it filter bacteria and protozoa but it also filters out heavy metals, pesticides and viruses. I would love to get one of those canteens and I could just screw that lid on that. It would be way more functional. Easier to clean and instill drink out of the same small top part. Which is like a plastic water bottle pop-up type.

[@gjnezat]

Mobile has a small but good surplus store as well.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

good to know

Blackie, I wonder if the large canteen mouth would fit a standard water purification system. Thanks for the vid. I live in GA and Kaufman's is just a little too far for me travel but now I will be on the lookout for this canteen.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Not sure

[@mikelusk155]

Wish I would have known you were having a fall camp, would have been there. Nice find with the canteen. Cheers

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Next time! this one was kinda unplanned to be honest

[@kennethhamby9811]

Good looking durable, is stove available for cup ?

[@turneynicholas]

I bet Chris Miller at assault gear would have some of this stuff too

They flat sure had a bunch of them! Lol

yep and i will do a field bowl now that we got some rain and can do a campfire

I wish I had something to meet at here in the San Francisco area???

[@earlshaner4441]

Please share the website for the Army/Navy surplus store brother

[@jamesbowen5573]

They must have given you a special rate. I looked him up online and they self that canteen on eBay. Just the cup without the canteen or the cover is $44.95 plus $10 shipping and handling. And with the cover, it is $89 + $10. And this apparently has a 36 Oz u.s. Arctic canteen. However I did find a Stanley canteen that utilizes a very similar lid for about 20 bucks. I'll have to do some rooting around

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i will post video tomorrow where i show a big box of them and the cost its below the 44dollars

[@jamesbowen5573]

@@BLACKIETHOMAS but if we call the number can they send it to us or will they refer us to their eBay site? These are the Arctic 36oz canteens. And they would definitely be worth 44 bucks if they had the Cup and the cover but those are a hundred bucks. I have one of the Arctic canteens that are they more common style. But I like this one better. The company you're talkin about is the only place I can find online that even carries them. But I guess it does make sense there's not a lot of call for Arctic gear. At least not yet anyway
