It did not come with a sheath, so I copied JRE's ever popular pattern and made my own.
Fast forward a few days and I'm reading American Bushman's Blog and he wrote an entry on fireside hot chocolate and mentioned Canteenshop.com. So I couldn't help myself and picked up a canteen, mug and burner. It came in today and I just had to try it out. Started a little fire and boiled up a cup of pine needle tea with my daughter.
You have to set the cup on the burner sideways with a wood fire. The cup will sit down just a little inside the burner and be solid, but it will put the flame out.
There is a cut out in the side that is to allow the burner to slide up the cup and miss the handle attachment plate. It also serves as a place to slip in fuel.
I'm going to try using his as my day bag water/cooking system.
God Bless Yall!

Nice setup, I've been thinking of getting the similar crusader cup system.
How was the tea? Henbit + betony (both available right now) also makes a good & nutritious tea, though I add a bit of honey, too.
Ah. Pine Needle Tea. Takes me back to when I was in elementary school and we would have local Native Americans come and brew up local drinks and food for us. I always liked the Pine Needle Tea the most. Tastes like Christmas!
I like this tea. It is better when made with fresh birch sap. We need to get down to the creek and tap some trees.
On another note, I caught two white bass yesterday in Cypress Creek. They are running. Get some minners and take the kids fishing.

Mention the pine needles you use to learn the people who visit your blog. Or else why come here?
