VDV…A great no nonsense and versatile bit of kit……and apologies if already mentioned …...I replaced that dreadful issue water bottle rubber seal with 3-4 plastic seals placed together….the ones you get inside your average wine bottle top. Give it a go….fits and works perfect !
I like my Soviet mess kit. Mine has a plastic canteen. I got it off ebay years ago, was called Soviet jet pilot mess kit. It also came with a cloth cover pouch which has a belt loop on it.

You could make one out of an old pillow case and some strapping, might be a fun project for the kids and a good way of getting them to carry some camping gear lol
