What about making a custom container out of Kydex? I've never messed with Kydex myself, but from what I've seen it is easy to work with, and material is cheap. Then you can make your container in any shape or size you want. What do you guys think?

Can you post a picture of the two knives together, in profile? I would like to get a sense for the the thickness of these knives.

I have never thought of kydex but you are right you could do that, however you can not cook in it. That would work in a Desert environment.

mcse,
Since the original post has to do with Altoids sized tins I thought you were looking to make a container similar in size. I didn't know you were looking for something big enough to cook in. In fact, when I first read your post quoted above I had a vision of somebody holding an Altoids tin over a fire and trying to cook that squirrel they trapped. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hmm... well, if it's a "tactical" pizza cutter, I have to assume that it's main purpose is defense against feral pizzas. Rabid feral pizzas.

No offense intended, it just looks a little, er, small for defending yourself against the rabid feral pizzas that attack people on jogging trails....

There in lies the rub, I like the size of the altoids tin but, I want to a bigger size to cook in, also individual parts need more room.

I have seen one in action and its very effective against small Personal Pan Pizzas from Pizza hut however, if confronted with a large pizza with everything on it, your best best it to turn tail and run. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> It's also marginally effective agaist french bread pizzas with proper training.

I'd say as far as cooking goes, IMO the Altoids tin would probably be effective for heating a little water to warm you up when youre cold but not much else.

Conventional wisdom suggests that you bring some HD aluminum foil to make a cooking pot with. I've never tried that, it seems rather awkward. Has anybody tried it?

The proper spelling of the word is "y'all". It is a contraction and is short for "you all". Someone [mcse] is obviously not from Texas. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
