Stainless Steel Camping Cup

December 03, 2007 By: Modern Survivorist Category: 72 Hour Kit, Camping, Car Kit, Gadgets, Survival No Comments →



I’m sure I don’t need to explain much here… but seriously check out these two important details: folding handles, and it fits perfectly around the base of a Nalgene bottle. Stainless steel isn’t the lightest of metals (there’s plenty of more expensive lightweight cups available) but it’s relatively cheap and strong.

Useful for tasks including (but not limited to) drinking, cooking, purifying water, moving liquids, making a snow cave, etc. Never find yourself without a cup. Available for about $12.

I’ve always been a big fan of the multi… multi-tasking, multi-beveraging, multi-tools etc. So I was totally excited when I found these Coleman 12-in-1 Scissors. Let’s compare them against other “normal” scissors.

Coleman 12-in-1 Scissors:

  • Scissors
  • Flat Head Screwdriver
  • Magnet
  • Can Opener
  • Wrench
  • Fish Scaler
  • Nut Cracker
  • Jar Wrench
  • Wire Stripper
  • Wire Cutter
  • Bottle Opener
  • Knife

Normal Scissors:

  • Scissors

Overall I’d recommend these awesome scissors for any emergency or camping kit. They’re small, lightweight and cheap ($4). Sweet.
