Does anyone use the Crusader cup and stove unit? What about the Mess tins and Hexi stove?

I've used the cup for years

Never used the cooker though

The Crusader is not actual issue is it? Is there a issued mug other than the plastic one on the P58 Barely Grilled pee bottle?

This thread is so boring that Mike isn't even going to bother taking it off topic $:-\$

It is issue now I believe

I'd say get one mate, as they really are a fantastic bit of kit

I haven't used the hexi stove for years but if memory serves it was...OK. IIRC the slightest breeze steals all the heat away so careful placement or calm weather is a must. No experience with the rest but I only hear good things about the crusader cup and the stove looks interesting.

I recently rigged up a USGI Cup stove using an issue cup stand, a canteen cup body and a couple of skewers.

Burns wood and charcoal too.

That's a great looking set up Dave.

I suppose I don't need the Crusader...I just have a small obsession with military mess gear.

That's a fine looking rig Dave mate

Dude, those look pretty sweet.

I like to eat out of my camp pot though, so I don't collect stuff like that.

I ordered a Crusader and cooker along with some Greenheat to try out.

I couldn't help myself...I have an unhealthy obsession with cookware
