Despite my early carelessness, it has stood the test of time incredibly well, especially for the price.

We should start a forum for these! Mine looks almost artistic after 15 years, with a unique patina from being used in fires.

Mine was also covered in soot until I gave it a gentle sanding. It’s amazing how resilient these are.

A simple cleaning with undiluted soap and steel wool works wonders without the need for sanding.

I’ll keep that in mind for next time!

They’re currently on sale for just under $12, depending on the color.

The price varies with the finish, but that’s a great deal.

It’s the black one that’s discounted.

I’ve been using mine daily for almost a year. Here’s to hoping it lasts as long as yours!

Classic Red Rider target practice!

I lost mine for three years after leaving it at my sister’s during a move. Just found it recently and it’s back in action!

Glad to hear it’s back with its rightful owner! Mine is an essential part of my camping gear.

I have two sizes, and they’re great, though the thin metal at the base is prone to denting. They’re invaluable for outdoor activities, especially the wide-mouth models.

Why would you shoot at your canteen?

Youthful foolishness, I suppose. It was just a harmless BB gun, though.

Is it really safe to boil water in these?

Absolutely, as long as it’s a single-walled stainless steel model. Stick to reputable brands for safety.
