If you don't like using bad chemicals to treat water, research iodine. Naturally anti-septic and it's a mineral you need trace amounts of anyway. I have a big jug at home because the soil in my area is deficient in iodine and goiters (due to iodine deficiency) were a big problem until 1940 or so.

Lilly, an easy way to clean and sanitize your canteens is to use denture cleansing tablets, available at any pharmacy (apotheker) for very low price. Narrow mouth canteens will require crushing them before opening the packaging. Use several for a one liter canteen with a fill up of warm water all the way to the top. Put the lid on loosely so that when they fizz (effervesce) they also clean the top and threads. They are safe and not only clean, but also sanitize. After a quick rinse, your canteen is as good as new, with no odd smells or taste. Thanks for all your great videos.

I got Stanley cook sets, MSR pot and their water bladders, GSI cup etc first time around. Almost 10 years of prepping. I always buy the best first time and never upgrade anything. Retired carpenter, always buy the best 1st. Just found a 47oz stainless steel Stanley vacuum food jar on special on Amazon arriving in a few minutes. I want it for emergencies keep food warm after cooking so I don't have to make too many cooks

And in Chris Ryan's book about the doomed Bravo Two Zero (SAS) mission, he writes of how he drinks the effluent from some kind of industrial complex because, by that point, he's been without water for a number of days of very high stress and activity. I understand Lily's point here though; if you have a choice, avoid plastic and aluminium and chemicals. I do exactly the same and will only drink from stainless steel if possible. But of course if I were unlucky enough to find myself in a sufficiently desperate situation I'd drink whatever I had to to survive.

[@paulmckearney4945]

Aluminium is not toxic. It is a reactive metal, more so than iron/steel. Aluminium reacts with oxygen to form a layer of aluminium oxide on the surface (aluminium oxide is the black residue you see if you scrub an aluminium pan but a new oxide layer forms almost instantly) so aluminium will not get into the food/water. It's safe to use for cooking and storing water etc.

[@questions6746]

I agree. My parents only had alluminium in the kitchen until I was about 20 years old. I am 67 now and nothing has stopped.

Alluminium is not toxic or dangerous. I am a healthy 67 year old walking 10,000 steps per day. My mother only had alluminium in the kitchen for first 20 years of my life.

For water bladders what I like to do is fill it up with coca cola (maybe the non sugar ones ), leave it for a day or so then toss it out. then the water doesn't taste like plastic anymore

I’ve lost count of how many time I watched this video ahah I love the tatonka billy pots, which I discovered from this vid. I don’t understand the reasoning behind buying an MSR stowaway since the tatonka billy is just far superior. Only thing I could imagine is storing leftover food form a meal inside the stowaway.

[@5USgRWFH]

to avoid scratches on your pots & pans, use a plastic pot scraper. They are super cheap and very durable. After scraping the pot, sprinkle baking soda inside and wipe with a sponge or soft cloth. Baking soda will also remove the soot from the bottoms of your cookware.

Hi Lilly: I agree with getting rid of plastic! But Aluminum is not toxic at low doses.

[@kerbalairforce8802]

Low doses repeatedly over long term causes irreversible brain damage.

[@AwesomeFish12]

If you cook with it you get a much higher dose than just using it to carry water, it also puts off fumes when heated. Still it is a relatively low dose, but many people prefer to avoid it. Better to be paranoid than suffer problems.

Hi Lilly about the canten that is to hard to clean because the small mouth. I will use clean sand and a couple piece of small gravel with water and soap. Then shake the bottle a couple minutes and rinse.

[@josephhaddakin7095]

That's how I always cleaned my pots in the desert.

[@CaribooHarleyRider]

I rinse out my water bladders before I use them with some baking soda and vinegar... let it do it's fizzy thing, roll it around the sides of the bladder then rinse with cold water 4-6 times... it keeps the water tasting clean and sweet. Try to store them open when not using them!

[@CraigReeve]

Micro plastics are a big concern. I've had two Camel backs and both began to taste really bad after a few uses. Now I use a 3 litre Returnable Coca Cola bottle. It's not ideal but it doesn't make my water taste weird.

[@leascobie91]

Great video Lilly! For cleaning your cups etc try using Steradent (denture cleaning) tablets, just make sure they don't contain persulfate. I use them to clean all my tea and coffee cups, bottles etc. Rinse well before use. No need to scrub, works like magic.

[@Jaden48108]

Thanks for the info. I'm currently on a bug hunt for a good, substantial pot that will hold a minimum of 64 ounces (2 liters) to re-create the Mors Kochanski Survival Pot. I still keep plastic water bottles in my vehicle as back up. If it gets real cold and freezes the plastic can accommodate ice expansion. Other than that I stick to stainless steel metal containers just because you can boil in them and they are bullet proof. I'm leaning towards the large Tatonka.

[@mannihh5274]

You gathered a nice collection of heritage cooking gear. Fully agree with you on drinking from plastic and Aluminium containers on a regular basis, but in an emergency it's ok . Water bladders are always worth carrying, you can use it as hot-water bags to get you through the night - can't do it with sturdy containers, because they will collapse when the water cools down. Water purification drops or pills are very useful too, but only in an emergency, in case you can't boil it due to a thunderstorm or in a bone-dry forest. The easiest way to clean small-mouth Water bottles is to fill in a good amount of clean, not too fine sand, light gravel or natural rice (2-3 tablespoons) with 200-300ml cold water, close it up and shake violently in all different directions for several minutes- unscrew the cap in an upside-down position to flush everything out. Repeat, if needed. If it's really bad, fill it with boiling water and some soda and let it sit over night or use false teeth cleaning tablets. Thanks for showing

[@RyouConcord]

Thank you for the more health-conscious reasoning, it's been a growing concern of mine as well. Maybe not to the extreme of replacing the piping in the whole house, but that's because I figure I can filter my drinking/cooking water separate from my washing water. Coming from Michigan, what happened with flint was, lead leeched into the old metal pipes and forever ruined them. Or at least thats my understanding of it. I think plastic PVC would not have that sort of chemical reaction.

[@bergeracvandamme]

You make some great points here, some I'd not considered but that now seem obvious as they're so important to the ongoing usage of an item, such as the folded over lip of the canteen mouth.

[@donaldeugenealford4080]

Hi Lilly, I was just thinking about revamping and replacing some of my old camping cookware gear this past weekend. Thanks for sharing your ideas! Definitely going to look into a lot of what you use 😎🤙

[@nightshadow4751]

Save some of those white foam/plastic bottle cap liners found in some bottled water or other bottles. If needed trace the shape and cut it to fit. Use that to replace the missing rubber seal in the military style stainless steal canteen. And save another to add to the existing rubber seal in your other stainless military style canteen. Works great. Cleaning these canteens is easy too. First dont store water in the canteen when not using it. Let it air dry with cap off when not in use. To clean the inside of these canteens heat up water mixed with white vinegar and add perhaps add dish soap. Shake the mix around and in a while later empty and rinse the canteen.

[@josephhaddakin7095]

You have a nice assortment. I wanted a pot that had a lid that doubled as a frying pan made of stainless steel that would be large enough to store my MSR Dragonfly stove. I went with the Olicamp 3 liter pot. I used to use an old Peak1 1 liter stainless Alaskan style pot that actually had a copper covered bottom. It was too small for the dragonfly. I like that canteen cup cover. I remember when Dave Canterbury was first selling those covers.

A study by some scientists say on average we consume about 5 grams of plastic per week, about the size of a credit card, and that by 2050 there will be more plastic by weight than fish in the sea. Reliable research now shows that tiny bits of plastic are in our food, drinking water, the air we breathe, and, yes, inside our bodies. ...

You are perfectly at liberty to choose not to use cookware/storage vessels made from any particular material. That is entirely your choice. But to state, baldly, that aluminium cookware is toxic is nonsense. The evidence for aluminium cookware posing any hazard is VERY scant indeed. There is some evidence that cookware made in third world countries from recycled aluminium may contain undesirable metallic elements (heavy metals, such as lead and cadmium) that can leach into cooking. Far more aluminium enters our bodies from sources other than cooking vessels. Aluminium is the most abundant metallic elemement in the earth's crust/surface.

[@gasstationpeanuts1814]

There is good evidence that the non-stick coatings used on cooking pans/pots IS deleterious to your health. Tons of cheap garbage aluminum camp sets contains these coatings of dubious chemical make-up and questionable resistance to flaking and scraping and are manufactured for literal pennies in China and the third world. I'm sure they're perfectly safe for occasional use, but heavy use would be another question.

[@fireh23]

Aluminium will react to acid, which was why the chemical lining for canned soda is a highly kept secret. Also why they usually layer something on top of aluminium, be it non stick or stainless. It's probably fine for cooking water, but anything more complex is tricky.

Great cooking gear sets. @Cleaning metallic bottles: Avoid the need for cleaning: fill only water and no other fluids in the bottle/container. When using the water first fill water into cup/pot (than mix coffee/tea or other ingridiants). After the hike/trip returned to home/hotel bottles might be cleaned in a dishwasher. Thats why I prefer metal bottle/thermo can over plastic bottles. (I learned by expirience bottle-clean-avoiding-strategy on my childrens kinder garden/school SIG bottles filled with apple/orange juice had sticky caps after dish washer cleaning procedures).

I wanted to give you the information that stainless steel can also be harmful if it is not of high quality. if it is made with stainless steel with a 14/ it is unfit for eating. it would have to be 18/8 or 18/10, 18/0 would be best, but the 18/0 is not dishwasher safe.

Great collection Lilly, always enjoy your vids keep up the good work. Your logic seems sound about the aluminum and plastic containers!!

[@captaincarl1603]

You have made the right analysis of plastic hydration systems. But the plastic bladder itself is not the main problem. The main problem is that the hose and mouth-piece will quickly collect germs and bacteria. Sanitizing in the field requires de-assembling and manual chemical cleaning or boiling, a time consuming procedure that most hikers will not bother with. A few days in the field is enough time for this bacteria to become a health hazard, and you will arrive home with a stomach problem. To ensure healthy hydration, only use bottles that are easy to clean and rinse out in the field, your Nalgene wide mouth stainless bottle is a good example. Remember when you compare the weight between containers that you should do it with the container filled with water. Then the difference between plastic, stainless and titanium becomes almost irrelevant. /Greetings from the Swedish Army.

I bought a full nested Tatonka set and have been disappointed with it. It was heavy, bulky and the pan I threw out because it was raised slightly in the middle which concentrated the heat and made it hard to use. We are replacing the stainless steel with titanium. The wind shield is good but bulky and the alcohol burner we have replaced with a gas burner. The research suggests that titanium also concentrates the heat (so much for my Tatonka complaint), so I bought a heat diffuser and hopefully that will do the job on a fire, coals or burner. I thought at first there was an issue with the Tatonka pan and they replaced it which was nice but the replacement was the same. Each type of cookware seems to have its issues but research shows that the titanium is easy to clean.

Interesting to see your your choices and his w yltise have developed and changed over time. Personally, I don't like the smell that stainless steel makes especially when drinking water,. I now use Titanium double wall mugs from Snow peak. The risks of aluminium damaging ones health are greatly exaggerated having looked into this myself. I have gradually changed my gear so it's all anodised aluminium, this seems in my opinion the best solution when weight, durability, price,cook ability (great heat dissipation) and can also be made non stick by seasoning much like cast iron and it's safe. I use a Grayl water filter which is plastic but leaves the water tasting pure. For water carrying I have Titanium water bottles plus a Nalgene stainless for campfire use.

I've already heard the story of toxic aluminum. But I thought it was such a joke. Aluminum cookware really has one limitation, you cannot store and cook food with acids in it, because acids dissolve aluminum. This is just one limitation. If a food manufacturer talks about the dangers of aluminum cookware, then its products contain acids. Here you already have to decide for yourself what is right: to use products with acids that are capable of dissolving metal, or to cook food without acids in an aluminum dish without fear. Normal drinking water should not contain acids, so it is absolutely safe to store and boil it in an aluminum flask. Be healthy! ☺️✌️

Hi Lilly, I agree that all outdoor enthusiasts should buy the best food grade stainless steel cook ware and bottles, that they can afford!!! That being said, lets remember that sodium hypochlorite (regular 5% bleach), hydrogen peroxide (its the whitener in your toothpaste), are used in hospitals for disinfection along with iodide and natural products like citric acid (lemon juice) and vinegar (your choice) will also kill most bacteria and even many if not most viruses in water. Always research concentrations and methods of everything you use for cleaning items for your drinking water for best results since too much is not a good thing either. Use them routinely, followed by complete fresh chlorinated water rinsing. Leaching from plastics is more common, however, the brand name "Nalgene" is an inert siliconized plastic that will not leach into potable drinking water. Storing emergency potable water in any plastic that is not Nalgene or food-grade is not a great idea for long term storage.

Great! First my favorite anti-perspirant was ruined because of going aluminum free, and now my outdoor products are being affected by it as well, thanks to people spreading this information that it is bad for you!

I use sand or even dirt and a little water to clean inside container I can't reach, and then just rinse it out.

At cooking school, we learned that we should never use metal cooking tools in aluminium pots. Only wood or plastic. Its 20 years ago, so my memory is not exactly crisp, but im pretty sure it accumulates in the body, and create alzheimers or parkinsons like symptoms after ingesting around 20mg or something. Acids in food can also dissolve the aluminum, and i found several small holes in my Trangia pot after i forgot to clean it after a trip, and had it laying in a plastic bag for maybe a few months...

I'd try to see if a gasket for faucets would work on those canteen that you've lost the seal on.

That Cup you got for cheap in south Africa we call it a fire bucket

[@germansestopal6167]

Ok fine and thanks but which one is the best for a bugout situation? O for a couple of days?

[@donricerice1645]

A very good way to get rid of bad taste in any container, including plastic water containers and drinking tubes, is wash or flush them out with brown vinegar. Brown vinegar nutrilises all chemicals.

Her home water pipe system looks like a laboratory. Nice job! 😂

Beautiful collection .

I also think of the chemicals in plastic, including the recycled stuff. Terrible what goes into making it yet we can’t seem to escape it’s use.

I got some Al you miniyum containers and cook sets that I I love. You just threw a monkey wrench into that relationship. Thanks for nothing Lilly!!! And what I really mean is...all good in the hood. Thanks for the concern and now I’ll do my homework and make informed decisions. Peace!

Thank you for sharing. Use wooden spoons and utensils so you don’t scratch your pans.

I love the plastic Nalgene bottles. It's sort of an addiction lol. I also own a lot of the Pathfinder School products.

What a fantastic collection 🙂🍻

Stanley stainless steel cook sets are good quality steel. most stainless steel cook sets are thin resulting to food being burned at the bottom. Stanley’s steel are a little thicker so food doesn’t easily burn…

You used a plastic stop on the titanium canteen. Is it generic or which brand did you use it from?

[@SurvivalLilly]

Ive lost the orginal cap. This other cap i just use as replacement

[@scottnorvell2955]

Great info. Thanks

[@jerryg2073]

Thanks for the links.

[@michaelmcgill8104]

what brand is that canteen carrier?

[@nicholaskarako5701]

Hopefully it doesn't come to having to use those two plastic water canteens for gasoline/ petrol because gasoline might eat through the plastic if you don't use it up quick enough. Seems like a thick enough plastic that the canteen might be able to hold out and be fine but that's my two cents. Those two water pouches might be good to use to slowly dripping water while grinding metal/ stone to prevent over heating / wearing down the grinding blade quicker.
