Cup

“Has anyone tried the TI cup? Found my 2 oz plastic thremal cup shattered from last weekend (I dropped the bear canister from the back of the truck).

Just went to REI and the other mugs were HEAVY.”

“I haven't tried one yet, but I usually just use one of those plastic measuring cups. If they do break they don't cost much and they serve a double purpose.”

“No, I like to use one of those medium sized insulated mugs.

I have mine marked on the inside for 1, 2, and 3 cups. That way I can measure the water for my meals easily. I also use for soups and oatmeals. And I when I make an evening cocktail, I pack with snow and pour the bourbon over the top of the snow for a bourbon slushy.”

“I have never found it necessary to wear a cup on the trail.



Waitaminute....sorry,Thermal mug guy here.”

“Man, those Ti cups would burn the piss outta your lips. I can tell that without even using one. Get the knockoff REI thermal cup with a lid and be done with it. Light enough, insulated and durable.”

“Thermal mug from the dollar store for ...you guess it a dollar. Saw the bottom of the handle away from the cup so it "clips" on the outside of your pack.”

“HPM: I was thinking something similar.. but when I saw it was a REAL thread.. I refrained.. cos I originally thought it was a thinly veiled attempt at asking cup size.”

“Lexan cup for me or I just drink out of my Titanium Pot.”

“I have the MSR Ti cup. It was a gift. It replaced my 8 oz insulated aladdin cup. It's like 1.1 oz or something. I like it a lot, and I don't burn my lips (but you should be careful). I put the top of an old sock around it to insulate a little but it stays warm longer (conducts less) than I thought it would.”

“Humanpackmule, I thought one of the gals were talking about bra sizes or "support".
I don't carry a thermal cup....I have a 1 litre thermos bottle.”

“I use this old thermal Michigan mug that is cracked, melted on one side and all the writting is rubbed off.

I have seen the new Nalgene mug/bottle on the web but havn't handled one yet. If it weighs about the same I may pick one up.”

“Ooooh! I've been out of the loop for awhile. A new Nalgene mug/bottle? I'll have to check that out. I think I need to do a little gear window-shopping.

hmmm... better get a glass of dry wine to keep the drooling to a minimum. ;o)”

“I saw that go mug! It's kinda cool.”

“Ooooh, thanks for the link Nigal.”
