German Military Surplus This mess kit was originally used by soldiers for cooking outdoors, receiving rations, and eating meals. 1. Cooking (Cooker): The main body can be placed directly over a fire for boiling and cooking. Early models were made of aluminum, while later and post-war models were often made of steel (enamel coated/painted). 2. Eating (Tableware): The lid has a handle so it can be used as tableware (plate or frying pan). 3. Carrying: Cutlery and some food can be stored inside, and it can be secured with a strap for compact carrying. Distinctive kidney/oval shape. Designed for easy carrying in the field and efficient attachment to a backpack (rucksack/A-frame). #MilitarySurplus #SnowPeak #Coleman #Logos #CaptainStag #TentMarkDesign #Nordisk #Ogawa #DOD #WAQ #Helinox #yeti #Ballistics #Halftrack #NatalDesign #Camp #SoloCamp #Mestin #Trangia #Dietz #FEUERHAND #Camp #SoloCamp #Bonfire #Gear #CampingGear #Accessories #FrenchMilitary #MilitarySurplus #GreaseCase #MilitaryTent #TentMark #Camping #PolishMilitary #Poncho #OnePole #Tipi #Tent #SoloCamp #WinterCamp #Bocchi (Alone) #WoodStove #Bonfire #WildCamping #Bushcraft #bushcraft
