Alright /k/, this mess kit I have hasn't been maintained for a while, and that's obviously a problem. How do I clean the damn rust off and keep it off too? (I know steel wool should do wonders for it but anything I should use in conjunction?) And to ensure that this thread isn't entirely pointless and wasted, what mess kits do you use and recommend? Any around that are better than this old model that need to be known about?

Other side is worse, inside is almost perfect though. Little to no rust.

Barkeeper's Friend and some elbow grease. Wear rubber gloves.

Let it soak for a day or so in Coka Cola, it'll eat the rust away and help prevent rust from forming. That's how I clean up old rusty AK mags.

This.

OP I have the same mess kit, from like 2010. It looks exactly the same. Not sure what material, but I don't think it is stainless. Used it as a tray in the field.

For cooking, I have a snow peak pot. Titanium garbage, holds 30oz. Never used, because cooking innawoods is dumb and I always bring enough water to not have to boil some. Good quality though. Would SHTF with.

this is what you do OP. boil a large pot of water. once its boiling, drop the two pieces of the mess kit in separately. boil them for a few minutes. the next part is easier if you have a gas range. get the pieces hot enough that you cant comfortably touch them.. then with a paper towel, rub them down with vegetable oil
