Simple Survival Gear - The Cup

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.




Of all the different types of survival gear, one of the essential items
is the cup. In a search for that perfect piece of gear, the cup is probably one
of the most difficult items to find. When looking for that perfect piece of
gear, there has been a lot of time and effort expended by a lot of people their
search for the perfect cup. It is only after many years of trying to find that
ultimate piece of gear that, the simple truth has come to light. Most cups have
a number of good qualities in common and it is not the cup that is of major
importance. It’s the manner in which you take advantage of all of its features.



Basic Features


The size and shape of most cups are fairly
common and you only need one with a capacity to boil water for cooking or
making a hot cup of coffee or tea. Stainless steel cups are probably your best
bet with titanium a close second, if you can afford it. Your cup should also
have a flat bottom in order to fit comfortably on most backpacking or hiking stoves.
Your cup will also need to hold 16 to 24 ounces of liquid which will give you
adequate capacity for fixing a dehydrated meal, soup or a cup of tea or coffee.
The handle should fold out of the way when not in use and it should lock firmly in place
when deployed. The handle is important to make sure you can securely handle
your cup when it is hot. A couple of extra drinking cups that nest inside the
cup are also a definite plus.




Cup Storage

The true
secret to that perfect cup is how you utilize its storage capacity. Cups with
canteens nested in them don’t give you much of a storage option. The majority
of people carry separate water bottles and this allows you to take advantage of
the storage capacity of your cup. You can add coffee filters for water
filtration and a small bottle of bleach to purify it. You can add a lighter, a
firesteel and some tinder to help make a fire to heat the water in your cup.
You can include a small knife and a spork as well. Throw in some instant coffee
packets, drink mix and a little salt and pepper and you’re good to go.

The true worth
of any cup is not realized until you put something in it.

Got cup?

Staying above
the water line!
