Well, I dropped my 4 dollar Coleman enamel mug on a rock and it chipped the enamel off both the outside and through inside. Not sure if it's safe any more because no idea what's in those layers or if they'll flake off in my coffee.
Do all enamel mugs do this or is it just Coleman being family vacation grade trash? Also what replacement mug do I buy?
>>1007798
have you thought about embracing the #tumblerlyfe?
>>1007798
They do flake off. You are going to habe to toss it. I know it will be hard to do. I was consuming a few chips a day, so I had to trade mine in. Like so many other things, ultralight faggots have made getting a new one much harder than it should be. All they have in stores are some bitch-made magnesium shot glasses or the dumbass SS ones with the folding handles.
Stanley makes a number of lovely mug and muglike products, but also the chunky plastic cups that come with the steel cooker are absolutely delightful, even if they don't look like it. They're just really thick and fit so nicely in your palm, and everyone should have the set to begin with anyway.

been drinking my coffe and tee and juice out of my grandpas old chipped copper mug for about 10 years, mug's like 50 years old
I'm still alive
get real cunt
>>1007798
All enamel mugs do it. If you are scared, take a chip to the lab and have it tested for.... whatever they test paint chips for? Lead?
Or roll it into a shaving mug or a pencil holder and buy a replacement.
>>1007906
nice

No, I havent. Big, bulky, heavier. Can't put it on a fire.

Why am I in this thread again?
I have set of 4 enameled mugs, one of them was burned or something before I got it. The damage on the outside is about the size of a dime and the damage on the inside about the size of an eraser head... I use the damaged mug the most and it has never gotten any worse. So I am assuming the heat sealed the edges preventing anymore enamel from coming off than was originally damaged.
>>1007798
If you want another enamelware mug I suggest the GSI Pioneer set. Much better quality than Coleman's. Still not outrageously expensive. Only downside is I'm not sure if you can buy the pieces individually or of you can only buy in a set.
>>1007906
Why are these kidney shaped? Isn't it awkward to drink from?
>>1008151
I think they're kidney shaped so the canteen can nest inside them. Why would drinking from it be awkward? Both sides look almost as round as a cup, it's like an elongated cup.
>>1008151
Because it nests with a canteen designed to fit snugly on your hip.

Oh, honey.
You don't.

Do you really need to debate about which cups to buy?
Holy shiiiiiit.
Can none of you make your own choices?
>>1008476
..it's just a photo of a milsurp canteen. Why do you need a source? The full kit is around 10-12 dollars on ebay
A little bit of iron isn't going to kill you.
>>1008346
but all that shit looks blastic
>>1007798
DIY yourself one of these, then toss it after your trip, and repeat...
>>1008882
Holy schidt. I remember in like 5th grade we read some book in english class about pioneers or something and we had to do a book report and bring in something to show-and-tell related to the time period. My friend's dad's an alcoholic mechanic/handyman and he welded one of those together, so that's what my friend brought in to show us. It was neat but redneck af †bh senpaitachi.

If you jsut want for drinking, eating and cooking - a Titanium cup
If you want it just for drinking, a double walled stainless cup.
Don't bother with an enamel'ed POS
>>1008882
you have to elaborate on using cans that are unlined, as lined cans arent graded to be used to cook food in and repeated consumption
Cut top of can and have mug
>>1009186
Nice cup of boiled plastic.
>>1007798
Enamel is pretty safe. It just glass fused to a metal substrate. The biggest risk is if you swallow a big sharp chunk, could irritate your insides. Otherwise little bits okay.
>>1009372
You put the water in after you heat it? IDK.
Not a flavor lock can either... can tell by not having the air vent at the tab... but most likely would be flavor lock can if it was from a 2 year long Garth Brooks tour.

>>1009372
>>1009511
You're both retarded. How hot do you expect the fluid poured into the cup to be? Also, "razor sharp jagged aluminum".... are you so god damn dumb that you can't imagine a method to dull the edges of the aluminum... like rubbing it in the fucking dirt? Jesus christ /out/ ... I thought you were actually /out/ and not just armchair warriors. I'm going back to /out/ and using my can mug forever.

>be out working on a trail crew in texas under 90 degree fucking heat
>get ice water while everyone else suffers
Same. Too bad they dent so easily. $15.00 silicone sleeve I got off Amazon is totally worth it.
>>1007843
I got these
Lost the cups and the top but the main body still works even after the impact of a .22
>>1008160
The idea behind the kidney design (also the canteen)is expose a mayor surface to the heat at the side of a fire.
>>1009703
>Lost the cups and the top
goodness anon that's a bit slack. but yeah it's a good little cooker!
>>1009707
No, it's for the ergonomics. Do you think a kidney shaped bottle is going to be better than a round pot over a stove? I don't think so. And most militaries use solid/liquid fuel stoves (think ESBIT or trangia) and NOT beside a fire, so why would that even be a consideration
>>1009479
I have one for around town and gym but it sucks for out. Can't boil water, bulky for how much it holds. Also, uhhhh insulation doesn't mean much when you're refilling at streams and not your fridge.
>>1009637
Enjoy your tits, boyo.
Plastic is for fags.
I really cannot imagine why the type of cups you use to drink out of is a matter of debate at all. What the hell is wrong with this board?
>>1007913
Fake news.
>>1009707
Nope. Curved canteens fit against your body like a big hip flask. The rest of the mess kit is designed around it.
>>1009876

It's the paralyzing number of choices now that we all shop on amazon instead of in a store where you have 3 choices where 1 is crap and 1 is overpriced.
>>1009723
Agreed, I'd never take it backpacking with me, but for car camping our lots of professional /out/ jobs it's the bees knees.
Can someone explain to me why the type of cups you bring /out/ is even remotely worth a whole thread?

Myth 4: Drinking out of aluminum cans or cooking in aluminum pots and pans can lead to Alzheimer’s disease.
Reality: During the 1960s and 1970s, aluminum emerged as a possible suspect in Alzheimer’s. This suspicion led to concern about exposure to aluminum through everyday sources such as pots and pans, beverage cans, antacids and antiperspirants. Since then, studies have failed to confirm any role for aluminum in causing Alzheimer’s. Experts today focus on other areas of research, and few believe that everyday sources of aluminum pose any threat.

Make sure you buy the stainless steel one. Harder to find, but available

Have you ever been to goodwill or any other poor people stores? They sell any and all cups you could ever need for 50 cents.
