THE U.S. ARMY CANTEEN AND COOK SET IS A GOOD CAMPING SET FOR ONE PERSON TO COOK MEALS ON THE TRAIL. THE GRAYL WATER FILTER IS WHEN ADDED TO A COOK SET IS A GREAT WAY TO GATHER LOTS OF WATER FOR COOKING AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO COOK ON CAMPING HIKING TRIPS.IN THIS VIDEO I SHOW THE PARTS OF EACH COOK SET AND TALK ABOUT THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF EACH SYSTEM. ALMOST ALL OF THE ITEMS LISTEN IN THE VIDEO ARE STILL FOR SALE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE HEAVY COVER LID THE CURRENT MODEL IS NOT THE SAME AS THE ONE IN THE VIDEO ,BUT CANTEEN CUP LIDS ARE FOR SALE ON MANY SITES.

Wish I'd just stuck with my G.I. set-up & added a Sawyer filter. I've got so many choices I think I talk myself out of going camping from the sheer exhaustion of trying to decide what to take & digging down to it. The G.I. cup, lid & stove is pretty hard to beat for keeping things simple.

@jeffrichards5106 3 года назад

If only Grayl would come up with a water filter unit that is shaped like an Army canteen, that would be great!

@stevegodfrey3713 3 года назад

Old school is hard to beat, But I'm finding myself grabbing my Grayl with mil bag more now, I use the Pathfinder bag with cup, lid and stove, it has good size pocket on the front and molly all around it. This has become my go to .. it all fits with room for more. Keep doing these comparison videos and showing other ways to enjoy the outdoors. Your a great teacher for the outdoors

@blackoracle69 3 года назад

thanks..i will do more in the near future..safe journeys

@markluke8447 3 года назад

Good job in highlighting the pros and cons between the two. The ability of the Grayl to purify water faster is a huge benefit when time is a factor.

@blackoracle69 3 года назад

it really is especially in my deep south when your hot and need water a cold stream is great but to have to boil and wait hrs for it to cool proper or add tabs is a hassle being able to dip the cup press it closed and still have cold water right out of the ground and drink all you need its really worth the high cost

@cephasmcpher67peteroutdoorspip 3 года назад

Good video Blackie. Like someone else mentioned old school is hard to beat. One con that wasn't mentioned and this goes for any and all filtration systems is in cold weather if your filter freezes it's game over that filter is done and then your back to boiling and or water tabs and then you add in the price of a new filter and that turns into a huge con.

@Otis010707 Год назад

Since I rarely find myself in need of filtering water I'll be sticking with my Oasis and Boundless voyage cookset in a Helikon Tex E&E pouch. Your videos never cease to impart knowledge Blackie! Bill Doyle

@joemorganeatmyshortschannel 3 года назад

great ideas blackie i prefer old school and nothing against the new stuff i just learned the old gear so its what im familiar with camping and survival gear has changed alot in the last 30 years for sure used to be alot harder to get things working now people have figured out shortcuts that make things more acessable to others great video

@treerat6959 3 года назад

I prefer the old school for it's longevity nothing to clog , break or freeze and can't heat up to thaw without melting the container . I also use stainless canteens .

@Eralen00 3 года назад

@thethan302 3 года назад

I have the same setup you have with the Grayl, except I have sawyer filter and a Nalgene bottle. was thinking of going with a steel kleen canteen bottle. I probably ought to get a mil bank bag. it's not as important out west since we tend to have more clear water. but it's still not a bad idea. I like the idea of flipping the handle around on the Stanley cup but my Nalgene won't nest in it anyway. also the lid of the Stanley fits the drinking cup i have perfectly. so it's doing double duty.

@mediocreman561 3 года назад

I have the same setup. I have a steel nalgene backpacker bottle and it fits perfectly.

@davef5916 Год назад

The biggest downside of the grayl system is the half kilo that it weighs empty. It's worth the carry but worth noting. Also, since this video was made, you can get ultra presses, which are a smaller version.

Probably too late, but to replace the plastic tab on that Stanley pot, try one of these: Nite Ize SB2-03-11 Size-2 S-Biner Dual Carabiner. Works well with much easier on and off.

@flatlander6928 3 года назад

Gr8 video, a nalgene will fit in that usgi canteen pouch, with a nesting cup. My go to for a short hike and camp, is the Mors bush pot, the lixada gasifier wood stove nests inside perfeck,along with misc. Free twigs most everywhere. And sawyer mini, for the water.

@Dadolphinsmakemecry 3 года назад

Depending on the size you COULD put a life straw inside the grayl and get even QUICKER drank of water from that cool stream. Been watching you for awhile and David Pearson, learning lots from both of you. Knowledge is power.

@blackoracle69 3 года назад

thank you yes a straw could ride there but i would suggest it being on a strap of some other quick access point and save the grail for the big canteen job plus filling cooking pots

@richardanderson6874 3 года назад

Good commentary comparison, Blackie. I would ask for a price comparison between the sets, and compared it also to the titanium GI sets, along with their heat retention or heat shedding characteristics as a potential advantage over steel. As always, you present information that is useful, understandable, and sensible.

@jonathanfrisbee8889 3 года назад

Awesome comparison! I also have both but am working on getting used to the Grayl and system I have for it. I am thinking of adding some of my spices and stuff to my Blackbird haversack as even with the tin pocket on the Stitched Gear carrier, I tend to bring more stuff with me than the tin will hold. I’ll follow up with ya at your gathering next spring! Take care!

Great job comparing the two. Lots to think about, really like that greyl purifier big advantage

@toneyjohnson8910 3 года назад

As you know I do more hiking than base camping and the Grayl is great to quickly get a cool drink of water. I need to order the Stich Gear carrier. Thanks for sharing.

@margaretadler6162 3 года назад

I carry both, the nalgene canteen and GI cup and the grayling with Milbank bag with the Stanley cook pot. I guess I'm kind of a gear junkie! Hope you had a wonderful xmas and will have a happy new year! It gotta be better than 2020! ATB Sam Adler

@Stoney_AKA_James 3 года назад

Good video Blackie, I hope that you and your family had a great Christmas!! The Grayl Geopress (full size version) holds 24 ounces vs the G.I. canteen of 32 ounces. I have 2 Geopresses, 1 on my pack and the 2nd one as a standalone hydration/cook kit in a tall Maxpedition bottle holder (with extra pouch for a fire kit) and sling that I keep in my truck. Personally, I wouldn't even consider buying the "UltraLight" version as it's capacity is only 16 ounces.

@blackoracle69 3 года назад

You bet

@joshuacaviness9402 3 года назад

your reasoning has solid logic . i just can't bring my cheap self to purchase the grayl at its higher cost and higher up keep value . IF i go round i use a sawyer with a kleen canteen and the same pot and cup you have. If i go USGI i use a stainless steel canteen with cup, never found a solid use to have a stove, with nearly the same setup you have and a sawyer water filter with it as well. I have crawled the mountains of NC and never needed more.

@blackoracle69 3 года назад

Right on!

@axerxes3981 2 года назад

Blackie.... excellent comparison and breakdown on the two systems. My only complaint is you failed to mention the HIGH cost of the Grayl system. Nice job, thanks for sharing.... Ax

@hammerhound168 3 года назад

Good job, But 1 advantage of old school army canteen pouch is its furry padded interior. yes it keeps quieter, but it main purpose is evaporative cooling ( many of the new water bottle bags have it too) just soak it with water and place your canteen inside. As it dries it cools your water. TY Blackie !

@blackoracle69 3 года назад

very true and often i would use the cover as a pot cozy to help keep food warm on cold days

@mediocreman561 3 года назад

Put a beer koozie on the bottom of the Stanley cook pot and it will help with the noise and will keep the grime off the Ozark trail cup.

@phillipmerritt1428 2 года назад

What about the Pathfinder bag that came with it water bottle for the round one with the grill fit in it? Or one of the other less expensive bags like the Pathfinder bag would it fit in there? And if you had the Pathfinder around water bottle in canteen you would need to get the Stanley canteen correct? I really enjoy your videos buddy I’ve been with you since 2013. Keep them coming I keep watching and passing them all day everybody.

@UuddlerLeRoyBaStart 3 года назад

You can use a small metal s-biner, instead of keyring. Then you have a clip hook

@Dadolphinsmakemecry 3 года назад

Absolutely 👌

@tommyseabee2176 Год назад

It looks like adding a sawyer mini to the GI set would be the best solution.

@jasonshepherd6864 3 года назад

Blackie, I watched your newest video, and I rewatched this one. The question I've had for some time is, knowing about the funkiness that happens drinking from water containers for days, can you sanitize the Grayl in the field? I'm assuming of you drink directly from it, it will foul over time? Thanks!

@boomshanka8743 3 года назад

You have me thinking about trying a Grayl filter instead of my usual Sawyer Squeeze. The small millbank bag is a game changer. Have you seen the simple theory gear dot com stove for the Stanley pot? It looks like an elegant solution to me, and the one who dies owning the most stoves wins, right? :)

Just bought one of the Stanley pots, but I cannot for the life of me get the handle off like you did. Did they make the spread pieces longer on recent models?

@douglascampbell9809 3 года назад

You could always file a little of the ends of the handle until you can get it out. Though I would think the handles are put in by hand so it should just come out like what was shown in his video.

@robertdutcher8081 2 года назад

Use a pair of pliers to get that lil extra push.

@chevybill1833 3 года назад

Blackie, after you use the Grayl for a few days,you come home and put it away. How do you store and clean it after every use? Then say, three weeks later, do you need to do anything special to use it again?

@blackoracle69 3 года назад

i take mine and seperate the filter from the unit and clean then i squeeze a bit of tap water thru the filter and pour out and let air dry out side of the cup..then i put up till next time..

@chickenzzzzzzzzz 3 года назад

blackie do you use a stainless steel or aluminum canteen cup? Any worries about using the aluminum one?

mine is issue stainless..but i have no issues with the aluminum as long as you understand when you sand it you expose it to air and its a little toxic till a oxidation film forms (about 4 hrs) then its safe again..
