When I am out camping, not going especially primitive or anything but just the normal lightweight backpacking that I do on most weekends, I think my number one piece equippment is my little aluminum camp cup that I bought at Walmart for $5. I suppose I could replace the soup can in one of my kits (the large backpack kit in my truck) with one of these but in the other kit, my medium kit (in a Maxpedition M2 waistpack) the soup can fits perfectly and I would hate to have to substitute it. I stuff all my gear in to the can then stick the can in the M2. It's amazing what I have been able to cram in there. Check out this pic...

The Storm Shelter Instant Pcoket Tent goes in the outside pocket on the M2, the paracord goes in the M2 under the can and believe it or not the rest of that is all packed very snuggly inside the soup can! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
