Heavy Cover Titanium Canteen Kit w/ Living Survival - Preparedmind101

[@sanfranciscobay]

It would be nice if they had a third piece which would be the nesting stove fueled by small dead fallen branches.

[@bananasusyd]

Great to see Ben on your channel. I love his videos and have picked up a fair bit of gear he's recommend. Thanks Chris.

[@ChrisLee-UK]

Awesome video, cracking up over the bloopers and sound effects hahaha
Very cool cookset for Ben, thanks for the video.
The PM101 sound curse continues :p

[@charleslarson3152]

Good God you were indeed on Chris's turff!!! The leaf blowers, the aircraft and of course that wonderful siren!!!!!!!! >;) Haw!!!! I am not an ultra light packer. And in your well balanced review you were clear to show, that one can indeed be served well with standard issue. So good on ya!!!!!!!!!! I will now check out your channel. All my best from southern Arizona. Stay well brother.......

[@livingsurvival]

Charles Larson I know right.

[@jackkennedy_1963]

Excellent review! Thank you, sir.

[@701overland]

Great review .. really like the comparison between the two. I really do want the Heavy Cover gear! I know its spendy, but ultimately its the best of the best! Soon! Thanks for ROCKING out the review on PM101!

[@msilverhammer]

I love the out takes!

[@Bill23799]

Thanks for the review. It is interesting how all metal canteens are being made again.
During WW the US Military canteen was made of aluminum. By the way when i drew my TA-50 when I was in the US Army sometimes you got the canteen cup with the butterfly handles and others you got the older WW II style that was the flip over " L " shape.
Not sure when the butterfly handles came out but it was the " L " shape design that was form the 1940s.
Haha...not that it matters.
I like the wide mouth on the Titanium canteen. Not ready to replace my trusty GI issue canteen yet. To my knowledge there never was a GI isssue canteen cup cover but i wish there was.

[@SinSensor]

I will never buy that canteen, but did enjoy the video!

[@TheSmokinApe]

Looks like a great canteen...

[@howardl5059]

A good alternative would be a SS cup and lid. Swap out the plastic (I'm sure not BPA free) canteen for a metal one. If you have the money to spend on this - great. If you'll be out using this 40 weeks a year. Cool. Will I get it for a BOB? Not hardly. Just saying.

[@05generic]

Good review Ben. I wonder if Chris' house is at the center of the quantum universe.

[@livingsurvival]

05generic I think so.

[@Wingman115]

The background noise was too funny good stuff.

[@livingsurvival]

***** Couldn't believe when the tornado siren went off LOL.

[@Lellobeetle]

Just saw this. LOL. By the time of the siren I was shakin' my head, 'FFS'.

[@livingsurvival]

Lellobeetle LOL

[@pault5382]

I'm sorta fond of the canteen cups with the under-folding handles.

[@impermanenthuman8427]

If you put it in a fire empty with cotton in it to make char cloth will the titanium bottle warp from the heat? Or is it strong enough to maintain its shape?

[@jeepnicc]

Lol!! The very end is hilarious!!

[@Devil0983]

Your can buy 4 Toaks titanium cups for the price of this. I'm sorry brother but $155 for a canteen is just stupid

[@Thereal111t]

Nice review! This is a an excellent 'Cadillac' option! (I'm a little jealous I'm not gonna lie.) Personally unless my marital status changed i'm sure I will continue with my issue cup stove and case and my nalgene oasis canteen combined with a stainless heavy cover lid.
Thanks for the video!

[@preparedmind101]

^^^That's exactly it....a Cadillac option. People will gripe about the price, but Ti stuff is expensive and this is the thickest Ti stuff out there.
Like the Lightning Strike firestarter. Don't want to pay $60? You don't have to! Yet I'm sure over the next few days people are going to post comments reacting like they just caught their girlfriend with a basketball team. It's a fancy canteen. Relax.

[@charleslarson3152]

PREPAREDMIND101 Well Chris...take a deep breath and relax yourself! >;) it was a great video.....so thanks. Good info. All good stuff!

[@arizonapatriot6710]

When I made this comment, The titanium canteen had just came out . I am happy to see that both were obtained under hundred dollars . Send me a link I'm a buyer .

[@dennisjpoleyjr8713]

Wow, it was just like one of Chris' videos...mowers, traffic, tornado siren...

[@DailyDaze]

So I have been thinking about picking one of these up for a while I pulled the trigger on it and it's great the only thing that is weird is there an internal lip that stops the last bit of water from coming out like the neck of the canteen comes down past it's shoulders by almost a centimetre you can feel it with you finger (by feeling the inside the bottleneck, the very bottom part) , does yours have that or is mine a lemon? Keep up the good work

[@aHigherPower]

Great now if I could order one. Home site is down and can't find them anywhere.

[@ekimojoe2448]

i love how PM never does prepping things just outsources it out like a true american

[@tacticalwarriorviking5089]

A small NiteIze carabiner to attatch to keep the handles of the Heavy Cover cup in the open position would solve the issue while cooking... Just an idea.

[@MrTangent]

Wish you would have shown if the Nalgene canteen was compatible with the Ti cup and vice versa.

[@jamescarmean2701]

Wow, that price tag REALLY turns me off. I mean it does look great, but too attractive to be stolen in the field. Why not do the conversion of the 1.1 liter to the 1 quart volume for the military canteen or do them ALL in ounces. Just being picky, sorry . Those military canteens with those style handles were produced at least into the sixties (mine was 1966), maybe even later. I preferred the fold under single handle personally. I never saw the canteen cup lid while in the military for twelve years. I guess someone may have had them, lol. Good idea though. Good review anyway. Thanks.

[@eugenjigane7219]

hy ben i wonder if you can do a complete review of the rothco canteen kit
thank you

[@sheepsfoot2]

nice review mate.

[@nacholibre1962]

$153 for the titanium set. One tenth of that for the GI set. Plus, you can still find the old metal water bottles. No brainer.

[@SteveAubrey1762]

Is this a one piece unit or is the top half soldered/welded to the bottom half like the "stainless" steel Canteen store one?

[@MolotovBg]

I wonder, is the canteen easy to clean on the inside?

[@newhampshirebound8551]

lmao the siren at the end

[@kpxoda1]

Does anyone know if the GI stove that goes with the military canteens will work with these titanium types.

[@JoeFeser]

I find that a stainless canteen works just as well as titanium if you use dehydrated water. It keeps the weight down.

[@sanfranciscobay]

***** Where do you buy "Dehydrated Water?" I want some.

[@JoeFeser]

SanFranciscoBay I can sell you some, how much do you need?

[@sanfranciscobay]

Shipping must be cheap because
"Dehrydrated Water" has almost zero weight, correct?

[@JoeFeser]

SanFranciscoBay UPS ends up charging DIM weight so it is not as cheap as you would think if you ship it in cans. When I ship the bags, it is pretty cheap :)

[@sanfranciscobay]

Water weighs 8 pounds per gallon. How much does dehydrated water weigh?

[@whiterabbit201]

It looks like solid well thought out gear. Oh, the molle canteen pouch is also a carrying pouch with the top flap set up like in the vid but you pull the "Y" strap out of the top flap and fold the top flap into the pouch when you use it as a canteen carrier. (I'm ex military). Weight does matter! Hump a 50-60lb ruck 20+ miles a day and you will hate every unneeded ounce! Back in the day there was a GI aluminum canteen cup and we'd use it instead of the stainless one to save some weight. Those not concerned with weight must just pull their gear out of the trunk of their car while camping?? LOL! What happens when your vehicle is dead and you have 200 miles to go during a shtf? You'll be dumping heavy useless gear within 5 miles and realizing you chose poorly concerning your gear's weight and uses. Just saying.
Hint-n-tip= GI 2qrt water bladder mashes flat in ruck while not in use and allows instant storage of additional clean water cheaply and lightly.
Good video btw!

[@knivessavelives7887]

Any suggestions for a cheap-ish knife that can replace all others?

[@andrewe6616]

Nice looking piece of kit! Hey who does your interlude music?

[@matthewprior3762]

Im sold!!

[@littlewoody5539]

Nice video .

[@southpawbushcraft7522]

Very nice review on what looks like a great set. I'm still on the fence for titanium stuff. Its sooo expensive and is it that much better? I don't know yet. You make some valid points here though :)

[@jrx2662]

didn't you make a video, on pathfinder canteen set? cause I brought a set because, I think! you said this will be the last or its a good set, now you're with titanium stuff? to deep for my pockets!

[@bomguy999999]

Over 20 years in the military and I never once saw a lid for the canteen cup.

[@ericgarcia5108]

How am i suppose to wash that, i have XL hands!

[@Adriano.C]

OMG Is that really? A titanium canteen finally, with the pot??? D:

[@jcolson76]

That's a very interesting alcohol stove set up you have , would you have the name and or price perchance?

[@livingsurvival]

mooseman Esbit cookset. It was the only alcohol set I had laying around and this was only the bottom half so it may have looked strange. Thanks for watching.

[@anthonygomez446]

can the canteen be put in fire?

[@chandlerd730]

Is it true that Ti looses its strength after repeated exposure to heat?

[@robcook6120]

Paintball tips and tricks Never heard of that. Titanium has a higher melting point than Stainless steel by about 200C. SR71 was made specifically out of titanium due to extreme heat at operating speeds.

[@Thereal111t]

Yeah if the sr71 was made out of aluminum it would melt due to the heat generated by the friction of the air moving over the wings!!!

[@chandlerd730]

Thanks guys, looks like I have nothing to worry about with my Ti pot! Thanks.

[@manuelvazquez8758]

THAT IS NOT AN OLD MILITARY STYLE CANTEEN CUP. WE DID NOT HAVE BUTTERFLY HANDLES BACK THEN.

[@rokymessiah8288]

In 1974 the canteen cup was redesigned as part of the ALICE LC-1 equipment. The cup was produced in stainless steel with a flared upper edge similar to the corrosive resistant steel cup of 1942. However, instead of a single folding handle, the cup had two steel wire handles that open out for use, and fold flat against the side of the cup when placed in the canteen cover (the "butterfly handle" or "wing handle").

[@theinfidel6301]

Is the heavy cover made in China?

[@scottsmith8546]

Do you realize how much really good gear you can get for $153? A lot.

[@JohnDoe-ee6qs]

Scott Smith it's made by a Chinese company called Keith look it up on eBay buy from them and you won't be paying heavy covers cut too

[@rockcityprepper9134]

Dig it

[@BenQuartermain]

Ludicrously overpriced just to save a couple of ounces in weight. Nice review though.

[@livingsurvival]

Ben Quartermain People that hike a lot count grams so a few ounces is huge in the grand scheme of things. As for the product, no different than better military grade packs over those found at wally world, knives, clothing or any other pieces of kit. Different strokes for different folks.

[@ElliFong]

One thing I notice that you can just put the canteen on the fire if you want to boil it or unfreeze it during winter, you cant do that with the plastic one, too dangerous

[@greenmarcosu]

Is Ben in Ohio as well?

[@MississipVol]

I am all for paying more for better quality gear but just don't understand why anyone would want a titanium canteen kit when it costs so much more than SS. Sure you'll save a few ounces but most people using canteen kits aren't traveling lightweight and many are like Ben here and are carrying about 30 canteen kits around their waist.

[@hansaheshan1563]

heavy - cover( linkinpark)

[@A96B6]

Cool canteen but what a joke, there is no way I would pay 150 for that when the steel counterpart can do the same for a fraction of the cost with the same utility.

[@maika0staretza]

[@arizonapatriot6710]

$153.00 dollars for a canteen? Sound Government issue by the tax payers too me.

[@livingsurvival]

Arizona Patriot No different than $500+ for a ILBE new or $500+ for a MSS sleep system new. The thing with products that compare to military surplus is you can usually get the surplus for cheap used. But as new it was mega expensive because it is good kit.

[@preparedmind101]

Living Survival don't forget Surefire flashlights!

[@danob2904]

omg it weigh .00000034 oz more... wahhhhh

[@norwoodzomboy]

&^$/#":@(> LEAF BLOWERS!!! THE most useless invention ever: a person using a rake works 2x faster than those damn things and won't strain their backs nearly as much as those motorized anvil blower backpacks!! Rant concluded, great video.

[@michaeld8975]

hipster gear. great way to separate fools and their cash. Heavy Cover wins 1st place in Darwin Awards for 2015,

[@livingsurvival]

Mooky Mann There are some pieces of kit worthy of their price, buy it once type of thing.

[@michaeld8975]

Thanks but I have the equivalent. When both are filled the weight is essentially the same. An empty canteen is worthless to possibly deadly given the circumstance. I still fail to see your argument and still stand by mine.

[@preparedmind101]

Mooky Mann Nobody is going to make you but one. If someone chooses to buy it because they want it and they are happy with it does that make them wrong? People have different tastes. I'd never in a million years spend $500 on a folder, but I know many people with drawers full. Let people like what they like.

[@michaeld8975]

Fair enough wasn't meant give them a hard time enjoy them. Like John Wayne always said life is hard. Words to that effect anyway.

[@G1NZOU]

True it may be overpriced, but it works damn well and is well thought out, especially that lid and the wide mouth.
Weather it's worth the price is each person's decision to make, but it's a lot better than the expensive fancy gear some people buy that doesn't actually have a use.
I just bought it cause there aren't really any decent canteens over here in Britain, other than surplus MoD crusader kit, the rest are cheap "US GI Style" stuff that leak. I just got a pay rise so thought since I'm paying shipping why not splash out.

[@ekimojoe2448]

waste of money. buy more batteries for kits
