The nesting Cup with the folding under handle is what we called a fire bucket in army 40 years ago in south Africa. I still have mine and its been in more fires than i care to remember. We used to make a small fire and put ten of them all around to boil water for a cup of tea and to hydrate our rat pack food That's the most valuable item you can have for bush hiking food prep Plus good water bottles
From South Africa I've been on the hunt for one since 1974 during the bush war, a lootie had one from the firebucket / waterbottle, and all 3 parts fitted in the waterbottle pouch. Eventually I made one, using a slightly different design. Late last year (2023) on F/book found a brand new pathfinder from somebody lucky enough to be immigrating. I must have 20 original SANDF firebuckets, waiting for me to replicate a SANDF version
When I was on active duty we didn't use MOLLE gear, we had ALICE, anyway those Military MOLLE Canteen pouches are marked on its back side, facing the wearers body, MOLLE II 1QT Canteen / General Purpose. From what I found out is that the pouch was designed to not just hold a Canteen and Cup but also anything else the Soldier wanted to use it for, including putting rifle magazines into it, without the canteen and cup of course. You said to leave a comment. Nice kit. Enjoy.
Even though this video is over 4 years old those butterfly handles get hot if you stick that cup in the fire the grab handle of which that one has doesn't get hot cuz you can set the cup it's almost in the fire and have that hanging away from the fire maybe over a stone or something to hold you know steady I like those myself
My issues with the thing are the threads on the bottle, I really have to made sure the bottle closes properly, have had it leak a few times, and that the lid on the kidney shaped canteen cup can fall inside while cooking, which doesn't happen with a round pot. Otherwise I really like the set and it is my main one at the moment.
I have had this setup for the last year and a half. I love the wide mouth canteen. It allows you to put ice in the canteen, if desired, or fill it from any number of spigots. I didn't get all the extras you got, but I have got a Sawyer mini with the back flush syringe in the bag along with the bladder and straw. I also carry a Strikeforce ferro rod with fire starting tendering the end, a small knife sharpener, and some people may may call it redundant, but I also carry an Esbit stove with heat tabs in the front pocket. I wish I had gotten the military type carrier with the canteen along with the fish mouth spreader with mine. I might get those later. But it's a really great set. I lived with the older canteen set in the infantry before they included the stove and lid, and loved using it with my older Esbit stove with heat tabs. Of course I had to buy one to turn in when I retired. Couldn't get the old one clean enough. lol
Great kits. An IFAK in a condor gadget pouch on one side and a 5x7 pouch on the other gives more room for food packets. I used something similar on a riggers belt for SAR dog work. Plus you can hookup condor mag pouches for a.multi tool and SAK treker knife, or wear on the belt.
I'm with you . . . I prefer the Pathfinder-style canteen handle better than the old butterfly style. It does indeed offer better stablility in a fire. Hey, thanks for the great video, my friend!
I just checked my Pathfinder canteen by filling it using a measuring cup and it will hold 42oz. filled completely. It's a great kit I love mine.Thanks for the video.
thumbed it up - thx! i have every single piece of gear that you have in this video.... all of it. i've had it a couple of years and i go out and cook out real often (every week). you know what i use???.... none of that fancy stuff that i paid a lot for.... i use a standard army canteen (plastic), standard butterfly handled SS army canteen cup & i do use the lid from the pathfinder store. only thing from pathfinder i use is the lid. i sold the water bottle because i think a nalgene SS water bottle is better (better quality). the big canteen cup is ok and i like it being bigger, but it's thin. the water bottle stove and the canteen stove are thin too. i do have another heavy duty canteen stove from the canteen shop that's thicker and better. that water bottle 25oz. cup........ it has holes bored in the sides of it (for the fish mouth spreader) and i hate the holes in the sides of the cup. i hate the lid that goes on the pathfinder 25oz. water bottle cup ....... snaps-on too tight (hard to get off). that SS pathfinder alcohol stove i like - it works fine for me. in short though for me......... i wish i hadn't bought all of that pathfinder stuff. it's all just a copy of the standard US. army canteen cook system, anyway. to me for me....... it was something new to play with, but really not worth the money. it sits there not being used. i may put it all on ebay and try to get some of my money back for it. so, for me this stuff didn't work out that great, but for others i hope it does. thanks for video.
I placed a piece of plywood 22" by 12" to transport a eighty pound bag of mortar on my motorbike and fyi use a fan on your deck to be bug free for your pleasure while cooking out or just to enjoy a night out, cheers
The seam busted on my brothers…. It was just a small part that came unwelded. He called them and they sent him another one. He gave the busted one to me and I epoxied the spot and it’s good as new
Jiujitsu2000 great video!! Im def gonna check out these bags. Also wanted to mention that i saw your video on the stanley24oz cooking cup with the two plastic cups. I just received mine and love it!!! Thanks again. Chris.
Hello Jiu-jitsu could you do me a favor I need the dimensions of the cup lid. I'm looking to buy one and it seems the Pathfinder website doesn't have it anymore for the old USGI one that I have and I see one on line but I've heard a lot of them won't fit it and thanks for all the great videos man you really have great content and put a lot of thought time in them.
nice vid brother sorry been behind on watching and filming life is taking over lol but back on it this week. very cool canteen set. Hope all is well and keep doing what you do. Later!
You metion that the side pockets on the Pathfinder one would be large enough for Sawyer Mini. What about your older one in this video? And by the way...Merry Christmas! 🎄😀🎄
I think those shallow-rolled round-shouldered threads *would* be a deal breaker for me. Unless you remember to pay very close attention to what you are doing (which, let's face it, is frequently impossible) it's FAR too easy to cross-thread and damage the lid and/or neck.
I enjoy mine 2k I just lay my bannock right on that stove turns out perfect every time I have both cooking kits I don’t know why but I tend to use the bottle and nesting cup kit more and I’ve never had a issue with either good video 2k
Hey everyone, the greatest success that I have ever had was by using the Survivor Crusher System (i found it on google) without a doubt the most incredible preppers i've tried.
the pathfinder stuff is nice but its just too expensive, you can get military issue that is just as good quality for next to nothing. they say a fool and his money will soon be parted. now if your rich and dont care about your money then go ahead a spend the money. me, i aint rich, i aint going pay big money for somthing to make someone else rich when i cant get the same thing for next to nothing if i can help it, thats just stupid, im sorry but it just is.
Derrick P people have some idea that stainless wont rust. It can if not cared for properly. Never use bleach or chlorinated products on stainless. Also never use a metal brush. Use a plastic type brush. He mentioned the weld joint could be an area of bacteria. If your concerned I would first rinse some alcohal or just fill it with boiling water. Also the big spout would allow to you wipe it dry inside. Yes with a clean cloth and not necessary for a few days in field use. Never pack it away until its thouroughly dry inside. Id almost bet those who experienced rust issues thought to first disenfect it with bleach. But it would of been nicer not to have a weld seam at all.
I have the same set, but elected not to get the stainless canteen, instead I use the nalgene canteen like the one you have. I've seen lots of reviews of the stainless canteen, and people talk about the ability to use it to heat water over a fire, but I'm wondering if you use it this way how do you deal with the soot? I have lots of blackened sooty pots, and I don't really mind it, because you can just store them in a stuff sack, but if the canteen gets soot on the outside, it gets stored in the inside of the cup, so don't you end up getting the inside of the canteen cup full of soot?
In my environment spagnum moss gets soot off of stainless steel most of the time if it's wiped off directly after you've finished using it. Other mosses probably work too.

The reason that lid locks on is when in the field no need to waste food if you have to bug out and haven't finished chow.
When putting the lid on, push down until you hear a click, then it will thread no problem.
My issues with the thing are the threads on the bottle, I really have to made sure the bottle closes properly, have had it leak a few times, and that the lid on the kidney shaped canteen cup can fall inside while cooking, which doesn't happen with a round pot.

Pleasant person.
A great kit for the outback, quite minimalist & compact. Cowabunga.!
Great kits. An IFAK in a condor gadget pouch on one side and a 5x7 pouch on the other gives more room for food packets. I used something similar on a riggers belt for SAR dog work. Plus you can hookup condor mag pouches for a.multi tool and SAK treker knife, or wear on the belt.
apreciated Your explanation about the Pathfinder canteen.
my greeting from South America in Chile.
Thanksgiving..
I'm with you . . . I prefer the Pathfinder-style canteen handle better than the old butterfly style. It does indeed offer better stablility in a fire. Hey, thanks for the great video, my friend!
I have had the Pathfinder water bottle kit for a long time now and they make some really good gear!
I was so blessed cause my friend gave me his military canteen with enameled cup. And belt carrier and amo pouch.
Major deficiency with the canteen is the absence of a chain or cord connecting the lid to the bottle.
Very good considerations.
I just checked my Pathfinder canteen by filling it using a measuring cup and it will hold 42oz. filled completely. It's a great kit I love mine.Thanks for the video.
good review
I've watched several videos about the Pathfinder canteen, and this was the most informative. Thanks for the tip about the fish mouth spreader.
This was an awesome video..Thanks
I also love this pathfinder canteen but can't find in Thailand...
You over looked the most important use of the canteen cup. It is the perfect hand warmer !
thumbed it up - thx! i have every single piece of gear that you have in this video.... all of it. i've had it a couple of years and i go out and cook out real often (every week). you know what i use???.... none of that fancy stuff that i paid a lot for.... i use a standard army canteen (plastic), standard butterfly handled SS army canteen cup & i do use the lid from the pathfinder store. only thing from pathfinder i use is the lid. i sold the water bottle because i think a nalgene SS water bottle is better (better quality). the big canteen cup is ok and i like it being bigger, but it's thin. the water bottle stove and the canteen stove are thin too. i do have another heavy duty canteen stove from the canteen shop that's thicker and better. that water bottle 25oz. cup........ it has holes bored in the sides of it (for the fish mouth spreader) and i hate the holes in the sides of the cup. i hate the lid that goes on the pathfinder 25oz. water bottle cup ....... snaps-on too tight (hard to get off). that SS pathfinder alcohol stove i like - it works fine for me. in short though for me......... i wish i hadn't bought all of that pathfinder stuff. it's all just a copy of the standard US. army canteen cook system, anyway. to me for me....... it was something new to play with, but really not worth the money. it sits there not being used. i may put it all on ebay and try to get some of my money back for it. so, for me this stuff didn't work out that great, but for others i hope it does. thanks for video.

The 39 oz canteen will fit in the oval bottle bag.
Great review. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
that is a great kit. thanks for sharing
A nice offering. I could upgrade with this kit
Does the pathfinder cup with nalgene oasis fit the american style canteen pouch?
I'm looking for a pouch that fits this combo snugly
Smellavision hahahaha I love it. I love your video's all different kinds of content. Thanks .
Very good, Thank you very much
yes I agree that the older handle is a hole lot better.
I thought this was your Pathfinder water bottle and cooking kit again! LOL
Is it stainless steel?
Good stiff BUT FYI you need to do your research on food grade stainless steel and bacteria .
Nice kit brother
you would need those 3 holes open when making char cloth.
I've done it both ways and don't seem to notice much a difference. Thank you!
Great little kit. Thanks brotha!
+Terry Shrives Thank you
Thank you. I never knew what the -?- fish mouth -?- spreader was, or how to use it. :)
Surgical hemostats
You metion that the side pockets on the Pathfinder one would be large enough for Sawyer Mini. What about your older one in this video? And by the way...Merry Christmas! 🎄😀🎄
Excellent Review! Thank you.
Yup! Made my condor!
+Christyne Long Thank you!

Luv your videos Jujitsu, have you seen the Stanley canteen, it much cheaper than the pathfinder
I enjoy mine 2k I just lay my bannock right on that stove turns out perfect every time I have both cooking kits I don’t know why but I tend to use the bottle and nesting cup kit more and I’ve never had a issue with either good video 2k
Linkless Tennessee that's a cool idea to cook bannock on it I never thought of that. Thank you!
Hey everyone, the greatest success that I have ever had was by using the Survivor Crusher System
(i found it on google) without a doubt the most incredible preppers i've tried.
Vary hard to dry and get all water out to clean it
Good review thanks
But doesn’t the handle get in the way of feeding sticks into the hole?
Pauline Mcleggan you can turn it the other way
Nice video. You can tweek the lid with some plyers to make it a gravity fit. Easy to do as I did it to my lid.
Absolutly! Thank you!
the pathfinder stuff is nice but its just too expensive, you can get military issue that is just as good quality for next to nothing. they say a fool and his money will soon be parted. now if your rich and dont care about your money then go ahead a spend the money. me, i aint rich, i aint going pay big money for somthing to make someone else rich when i cant get the same thing for next to nothing if i can help it, thats just stupid, im sorry but it just is.
Good stuff
Do you purchase "pathfinder" equipment on Amazon? Joe
Heard they have an issue where the canteen rusts at the weld
Derrick P people have some idea that stainless wont rust. It can if not cared for properly. Never use bleach or chlorinated products on stainless. Also never use a metal brush. Use a plastic type brush. He mentioned the weld joint could be an area of bacteria. If your concerned I would first rinse some alcohal or just fill it with boiling water. Also the big spout would allow to you wipe it dry inside. Yes with a clean cloth and not necessary for a few days in field use. Never pack it away until its thouroughly dry inside.

+dag4321 I have a video on that. I was them with sand

Wadded up aluminum foil and Coca-Cola will take that right off
👍where can we pick one up?
Which state you in bro?
I'm in Az
If. You could only get one kit which is the canteen or the water bottle?
Ive bought both and if i had to choose one id probly go with bottle set, just my opinion
MannythaGoat P. Thanks
No problem Tony
Why leave a comment he dont reply back to any of them anyway, that's why I dont sub some of these channels that dont answer any questions.
? How about an esbit stove?
+Christopher Taylor those are excellent
how to price ?
good
Definitely not drinking out of plastic
You must have a basement full of gear.....
Well, let's just say, your eather right or wrong
some good gear but because DC was caught padding his CV, I cannot support him. Just a problem with integrity violators.
Nice set but not 76 dollars worth. I'll stick with my 10 dollar walmart setup
so its a nattick stove clone, interesting.
Sorry, I can’t smell shit. Allergies suck this tym of the year.
I've watched several videos about the Pathfinder canteen, and this was the most informative. Thanks for the tip about the fish mouth spreader.
