Looking for a good old fashioned stainless steel canteen like I had when I was in the Grub Scouts, many moons ago. Or like you'd see in the old western movies, preferably 2 quarts. Anyone have any experience with these? Don't want no plastic or aluminum or no water bottles like them yuppies carry. Any thoughts?

I have seen them in the mining supply stores in Phx.

Mescalero: Can you give me the names of any of them? Perhaps they have a web address I can visit.

I just did a search on Amazon using the keywords "stainless steel canteen"

Found several good possibilities. There's a couple of military style and several of the old style round canteens with cloth/canvas covers.

I think that last one is what you're looking for.

Wescoger: Your suggestion is what I originally did before posting and really didn't see anything like what I want but perhaps I missed 'em. I'll have to look again. Thanks.

usually you can link to the website from these images

I'm in the market too and the one I am interested in has a matching cup, and can be used on a stove to cook; fits in regular canteen covers too.

Hey Grizz,
Thanks for the link to the Canteen shop. Looks like nice stuff and not too outrageous of a price:)

After that, I figure you don't need my help.

you're very welcome.

I haven't decided but I like the wide mouth canteen and the cup. don't need the little fire stand 'cause I have a kelly kettle that I can sit the canteen on, or just in the fire.

Let me know if you order soon, I'll wait for your field report...

Thanks to all who replied. As soon as I purchase something, I will post a report on the quality of the merchandise.

I saw a lot of plastic and aluminum canteens, didn't find any stainless canteens with the cups. Did you?

I've done business with the Canteen Shop a couple of times and plan to do so again.
