One of the things I've spent way too much time thinking about over the years is a good container for every day carry. What would be a good option to have on your person? Well, I might have found the answer.
Tell us what you think of it after using it in the field. I have some unfounded reservations about the design. I'd love to hear what you think after cooking in and drinking from the cup.
I thought that you were going to hide a small handgun in that thing! To me Every Day Carry means a weapon! Over the years I have run across several ways to hide a loaded weapon in plain sight, they usually involve a sealed glass or ceramic container that can be broken in an emergency, but you can't carry them on your person. It would be cool if that canteen had 2 compartments, one for a small handgun and another to hold liquid, just so that you could be prepared for any contingency be it danger, thirst, or noisy people. Kinda like a sword cane that carries a shot of booze in the handle.
Gimmicky at best, esp if all you need is some liquid while movin round. The cup is useless (other than just protecting the flask-it aint no canteen) and the "canteen" itself is rather small to pretend it's gonna carry water. It's really a large "flask" with a cup so if you have a hankerin for 80+ proof now and then...I guess. Shoulda been larger with a canvas pouch, and a small retainer for the cap. Personally I like 120proof Chartreuse and put mine in my Stanley flask-the only one I have. if it was larger and had it's own pouch, maybe. I can't hike anywhere anymore myself so a flask is all I'll ever need, rightly so. For an edc 'container' I like the leather pouch they offer. The bag you always carry but never open. Don't hike anymore don't need that either. I use my pockets and my keyring, and lots of prayer.
