The product is made Cheap knock-off aluminum is fine, but not the real deal. This is a pretty well-made product. A slightly different footprint, but the volume in each compartment is the same as initial I am pleased with the quality, but I would like to see the gauge of stainless steel be a little lighter. My old kits from the 60s will hold up and work just as well as this one.
You can find stainless steel in any hardware store.
The answer to this question given by Ashley Mirsky was what I heard when I ordered this cover. There was no fit for the cover. Upon purchasing this mess kit cover, you will be able to purchase a mess kit of 6 inch height and width. It is 5 x 8 inches. Using 25 x 2 as the sum. I am 0 inches tall. It seems like the size she gives is for the BOTTOM of the pan, sort Having this number on hand doesn't do you any good when it comes to buying a kit or making space in it.
Selected User Reviews For Rothco Gi Type Stainless Steel Mess Kit
Mess kits are usually made of heavy metal, but this mess kit is made of lighter gauge stainless steel than traditional kits It is a well-built counterpart to the army issue version. It is durable enough to handle all the camping trips and backpacking trips it will likely undergo by us mere "civilian" subjects. There is a high standard of finishing both on the pan and plate Brushes cover all of the surfaces of both halves This item is polished to a good shine and is free from oxidation or damage. They are solid and their heads are not mushroomed on the three rivets that attach the hinge to the lock bar In addition to its heavy-duty construction, the hinge itself is pretty robust. Having retired my battered and dented WWII-era rifle, I am in the process of cleaning it up I won't miss the weight of a vintage mess kit (this one is a faithful reproduction), but it isn't necessary to carry a surplus of equipment in my backpack. It is a Chinese product, but it is.
This and an army surplus mess kit are in my possession. If you stack them side by side, you can certainly see the thinner metal and cheaper materials of this product. The only time I would get an army surplus one is if I wanted to backpack for a week or more where I really had to rely on it. In the context of regular camping and activities of that nature, I'm not sure the difference will be significant.
Compact and easy to pack into a You can keep all your canned goods in the lid, which would make a good muffin or cornbread My wife and I cook for ourselves just about every single day, so I use this quite frequently. It has gotten a lot of daily use over the last year since I've had it for a year. This design has been around for years. You can carry these bags when backpacking, hunting, camping, or you can just fry them up for breakfast on your I have used a few, and a poorly made one can ruin a There will be no disappointment with this one.
A magnet won't stick to it at all, so it is of a higher quality. It is lighter, and the stainless steel seems to be more durable. As of yet, I haven't used it to cook, but I am confident that it will function just fine. It is unfortunate, though, that the cutlery kit must be purchased.
The metal does tend to get scratched up very easily, but the kit itself is great. Although this is supposed to be a reproduction WWII combat mess kit, it's extremely unlikely that the soldiers kept these in scratch proof condition while they were battle-hardened in Africa, Europe, and the Pacific. This dish can be used either as a show tray, a frying pan, or a deep-frying pan This dish is usually used for stews and pastas. One of the things I don't like about it is that it does not come packaged in a cloth bag, either canvas or nylon, to protect it. It is not provided by your mess kit. You will have to procure it elsewhere.
I still think this is the best mess kit on the market. Imagine if it was made from.
This item was made in China rather than the United States. This mess kit seems to be inexpensive and made from thin steel, whereas the USA military mess kit seems heavy and thick. Knowing that I could have avoided buying this item is a shame.
It is a cheap Chinese knockoff that is disappointing. This paper is so thin it is paper.
